I had a 1-on-1 Coaching Call with Goldstein this morning and he hit me with a BANGER that I had to share!
"Chase moments of perfection through the consistent excellence of your process"
We were essentially talking about my struggle with perfection and that in the past I have always considered perfection to be hitting workouts exactly how they are prescribed when they were prescribed. But I have grown to learn that I have a flow, and that we all have moments of perfection that can be achieved through our process.
It was perfect round about tonight, as I sat at Dinner with my wife and new daughter and got to enjoy a "PERFECT" moment because I showed up for myself this afternoon, got my workouts done, practiced my golf, it allowed me to find perfection.
The biggest take away from this is that Perfection is in the moments, the friends, the family, the time that you share together. Perfection is about showing up in those moments for those people and putting your best foot forward. It's not about the result on the scoreboard (for those of you that haven't seen the movie, he coaches the Permian Panthers who are down at half, but have been seeking the perfect season all year), its about being able to tell yourself, your friends and your family, that you did everything you could.
I felt like this whole conversation was great to share with everyone because chasing perfection is a struggle that high performers often deal with, but we have to be able to stay present to see our perfect moments.
Would love to start a thread of some pictures of people's perfect moments of late!
