Podcasts about Perfection

Aujourd'hui, on part d'une question simple : est-ce qu'on est devenus trop perfectionnistes ? Dans notre vie quotidienne, on cherche souvent la perfection : le meilleur restaurant, le meilleur travail, les meilleurs amis, la meilleure version de nous-mêmes… Mais est-ce que ça nous rend vraiment heureux ? Dans cet épisode, on vous partage des anecdotes personnelles. On parle aussi de nos relations avec nos amis, avec notre travail et de cette impression qu'on doit toujours faire mieux. Et pour finir, on parle de vous qui apprenez le français : on vous dit pourquoi il faut arrêter de vouloir toujours la perfection. Alors, si on acceptait nos imperfections pour avancer ? ------------------------------------------Pour obtenir les transcriptions de tous nos épisodes, du contenu bonus, des exercices de compréhension, accéder à un petit groupe WhatsApp pour parler avec nous et des apprenants du monde entier, et plein d'autres choses.

Margo is joined by artist, author, and teacher Sam Dion Baker for a conversation about creativity, sketchbook practice, and finding meaning in the everyday. Originally from Philadelphia and now based in Brooklyn, Sam spent over two decades as a graphic designer before returning to drawing in her forties—ultimately building a deeply personal and widely loved sketchbook diary practice. Through her books, teaching, and artwork, Sam encourages others to slow down, observe their lives, and express themselves in their own unique way. Margo and Sam discuss: How a lifelong exposure to art shaped her creative path (and why it didn't follow a straight line) The transition from graphic design to a personal, sketchbook-based art practice Why sketchbooks can act as a form of therapy, reflection, and emotional processing Finding beauty and inspiration in everyday moments, not just big adventures Letting go of perfection and embracing messiness as part of the creative process Simple exercises to loosen up creatively (like continuous line drawing and using your non-dominant hand) How to develop your own unique creative voice through observation and consistency Sam's books and upcoming projects, including her new coloring book Color Your World Connect with Sam: Website: www.sdionbaker.com Substack: www.samanthadionbaker.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/sdionbakerdesign Connect with Margo: Website: www.windowsillchats.com Instagram: @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry  

From waking up “sleeping giants” across five continents to building a new kind of school for the AI era, Kevin Voisin is the coach leaders call when their “mindset problem” is really a radical honesty problem. As Coach of Coaches and co‑creator of Apogee Strong micro‑schools, he shows entrepreneurs how to stop lying to themselves, break out of self‑sabotage, and operate as the force of nature they already are. You'll hear why most “personal development” advice is fake, how to recognize when you're at rock bottom and rock top, and why saying “I don't know why this keeps happening” is almost always a lie. Kevin unpacks why perfection is a horizon you can never reach (but still need), how to live powerfully imperfect, and how to use AI as the “tractor of the mind” instead of a threat to your livelihood. Kevin also shares how he thinks about parenting and education in a world where knowledge alone is no longer power only what you produce with it. If you're an entrepreneur, parent, or emerging leader who secretly feels like an impostor despite your wins, this episode will help you reclaim choice, embrace discomfort, and build a life and business that match who you really are. Quotes: “You're not a lost floatie in the ocean you're a force of nature.” – Kevin Voisin “Excellence is achievable. Perfection is a lie.” – Kevin Voisin “Most people don't have a self‑sabotage problem; they have a honesty problem with themselves.” – Kevin Voisin Resources: APOGEE Kevin Voisin on LinkedIn

Over the past 3yrs media reports have described Burnout as "the silent epidemic," "the silent killer," and "the silent epidemic stealing your energy and joy."A significant root cause of burnout is a lack of purpose, stating that when people feel their work/life output is not connected to any higher purpose or sense of direction, depression quickly follows. Then there is the problem of cultivating unrealistic expectations of “life”.The fundamental spiritual truth is that individuals are eternal spiritual beings temporarily residing in physical bodies, and that over-identification with the temporary body and mind is the root of all suffering. Acharya das advocated for tolerance, temperance, reduced consumption, and the cultivation of spiritual purpose as pathways to avoid burnout and achieve fulfillment.

In this open mic episode of Man Vs. Marriage, Quincy Moran goes off script and straight from the heart. This is a raw conversation about what life is really about, what a man is actually working toward, and why so many men find themselves searching for change while still feeling stuck.Quincy reflects on his own marriage journey, the overwhelming adversity his family has faced, and the internal turning point that changed the direction of his life. From survival mode, family crisis, financial pressure, autism, emotional instability, and health struggles, he shares how choosing responsibility, discipline, faith, and intentional growth began to reshape everything.This episode is about more than marriage. It is about becoming a man your family can trust. It is about internal governance, personal responsibility, and refusing to quit before momentum shows up.If you have ever felt like you are working hard but losing sight of why, this episode will bring you back to the deeper mission.In This EpisodeQuincy talks about:Why the real question is not just “What am I doing?” but “Who am I becoming?”Why men must know what they are fighting forHow survival mode can quietly consume a marriageThe danger of building your life around kids while neglecting the marriageHis family's story of adversity, including financial struggle, medical hardship, autism, and traumaThe turning point that forced him to confront his own emotional patterns, health, and lack of internal controlWhy life is about becoming, not perfectionHow change starts with one choiceWhy momentum is invisible in the beginningThe importance of rebuilding trust with your wife, your kids, and yourselfWhy men must stop seeking comfort and start choosing growthHow discipline, faith, counseling, and intentionality helped reshape his marriage and family lifeWhy your legacy changes when you changeKey Takeaways1. Life is about who you are becomingYour life is being shaped by your choices, your standards, and your daily habits. Growth starts when you ask yourself honestly: Who am I becoming?2.

Marriage gets lost when family life gets crowdedWhen children, stress, work, and survival take over, many couples wake up one day and realize they no longer know each other. Marriage must stay intentional.4. Your past can prepare youPain does not have to define you. It can prepare you, strengthen you, and give you tools to help others if you are willing to learn from it.5. Perfection is a trapPerfection leads to procrastination and quitting. The standard is not perfection. The standard is excellence, growth, and consistency.6. Momentum is invisible at firstMany men stop too early because they do not see results fast enough. But real change often happens below the surface before it becomes visible.7. Trust starts with keeping your own wordBefore asking your wife or children to trust you, you must become a man who can trust himself.Memorable Quotes from the EpisodeYou can pull from these for captions, audiograms, and promo graphics:“One of the biggest questions I have to ask myself, and I hope you are too, is who am I becoming?”“Life is about who you are becoming.”“Perfection is a crutch.”“Momentum is invisible in the beginning.”“Focus on what you can affect.”“You must begin to reassume your authority.”“You start to become a man that you can trust.”“Don't stop too early.”“It takes what it will take.”“Your legacy changes when you change.”Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is for:Husbands who feel stuck, numb, or disconnectedMen carrying pressure from marriage, fatherhood, finances, and personal failureMen who know something has to changeCouples navigating adversity, parenting stress, or emotional distanceAnyone who needs hope that transformation is still possibleCall to ActionIf this episode spoke to you, share it with another husband, father, or man who needs the reminder that it is not too late to change.Have a question, testimony, or topic for Quincy to address?Email: quincy@mvsmpodcast.comIf you are looking for a speaker for a men's group, event, or leadership gathering, reach out directly through the show.

The sacred duty of Sat Yogis is to liberate all beings from bondage to the Other, from all karmic debt, and from entanglement in the internalized demands of the superegoic introjection of the Other. The price of freedom is emptiness; but it must be the Ultimate Emptiness, which is revealed after emptying out what is not one's inalienable nature and essence. This opens the heart and mind to the Fullness, Completion, Glory, and Perfection of the Infinite and Eternal Self of Blissful Light and Power of Immeasurable Intelligence Who is dreaming us all.

Do you ever end the day feeling like you didn't do enough? Many working Christian moms carry an unspoken pressure to do everything well — to succeed at work, be fully present with their kids, keep the home running smoothly, and grow in their faith. When life feels full and expectations feel high, it's easy to fall into the trap of perfectionism and believe we should somehow be able to do it all flawlessly. But God never asks us to live perfectly. Throughout Scripture, we see that God is not looking for perfection from His people — He is looking for faithfulness. In 1 Corinthians 4:2, Paul reminds us that what is required is that we be found faithful. In today's episode, we talk about what it looks like to release the pressure of perfection and begin living in the freedom of faithfulness. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or like you're constantly falling short as a mom, employee, or Christian woman, this conversation will remind you that your life with God is not measured by perfect performance. Instead, it's shaped by the simple, steady choice to keep walking with Him. You'll be encouraged to shift your focus from trying to get everything right to faithfully inviting God into the middle of your everyday life. In This Episode We Talk About Why so many working Christian moms struggle with perfectionism The difference between perfection and biblical faithfulness How perfectionism creates unnecessary pressure and discouragement What Scripture teaches about living faithfully with God Simple ways to walk with God in the middle of a full and imperfect life  

"Perfection is not possible, but excellence is." Mindset is easy to talk about when life is smooth. The real test comes when disruption hits. Pressure, chaos, and uncertainty can either shrink a person—or refine them. The difference often comes down to the internal rules we live by. Excellence instead of perfection. Awareness instead of reaction. Inspiration instead of burnout. Compassion instead of avoidance. When those principles guide your thinking, adversity stops looking like the end of the road and starts looking like part of the training. Dr. Matt Kutz joins Raymond Aaron to explore what he calls the EPIC mindset—a framework built around excellence, perception, inspiration, and compassion. Matt explains why perfection is impossible but excellence is achievable, and how developing awareness of what's really happening around you changes the way leaders respond to pressure and uncertainty. Matt is a PhD in global leadership, educator, author, and researcher focused on leadership development and contextual intelligence. Through his work and writing, he helps leaders turn disruption into clarity and cultivate the mindset needed to lead through adversity.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” Matthew 5:17–18The long history of salvation, through which God gradually revealed His divine plan, began with Adam and Eve, continued with Noah and Abraham, deepened with Moses, became internalized with the prophets, and was fulfilled in Jesus. Though tracing this history in detail is a lengthy process, one simple truth stands out: After the fall of Adam and Eve, God gradually unfolded the perfection of His Divine Law to His people. In the same way, He draws each of us closer as we slowly convert and are purified through our spiritual journey.At the start, God established what we call the Natural Law. Adam and Eve understood moral truths naturally. However, after their sin, that Law became obscured and remains so today. God then made a covenant with Noah, promising never again to destroy the earth by water. With Abraham, the covenant deepened, as God promised to bless all nations through his descendants. Then came Moses, and with him, the Ten Commandments, a clear moral code for living. Ceremonial laws were introduced to guide the people in worship, and civil laws helped establish the Israelites as God's distinct people.Once Israel was established, God sent prophets to call for a deeper, internal transformation of heart. The prophets urged the people to repent, return to God, and prepare for the Messiah, who would fulfill the Covenant in its entirety.When Jesus arrived, His teaching illuminated a fuller understanding of the Law. In Him, all the promises and precepts of the Law were realized. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus established a New Covenant of grace, bringing about the fullness of redemption.This overview of salvation history is not only important from a historical perspective but also offers insight into how God relates to each of us personally. In the beginning of our own conversion, God meets us where we are: He calls us to be His children, and we are drawn to follow His commandments, avoiding serious sin. As we progress, our faith practices, including the sacraments, take on new depth. Gradually, we internalize the call to live from the heart, not just through outward observance. We begin to see God as an intimate and personal God, and we work to overcome even small attachments to sin. Ultimately, we are called to turn fully to the Gospel, letting it lead us into a deeper relationship with Christ.Recognizing this progression is essential for our spiritual journeys. If we fail to see this path, we might become complacent. Everything God revealed at the beginning of your conversion remains true, but the start is not the fulfillment. As you reflect on your life, ask yourself: Can I see how God has drawn me closer to Himself, deepened my faith, and called me into greater union with Him?God leads us gently, knowing that immediate perfection would be overwhelming. Still, He desires our daily growth. Each day is an opportunity for continued conversion, deeper transformation, and spiritual purification. The great saints have written about this journey, showing us the way to holiness.Reflect today on the call to be perfect. If that seems impossible, commit to one step at a time. The road to perfection is long, demanding, and difficult—but it is also freeing, transforming, and ultimately glorious. Though you won't become a saint overnight, you can take the next step toward holiness today. Say “Yes” to this journey and trust that God will lead you.My revealing Lord, little by little You have shown us the path to salvation. From the time of Adam and Eve until Your coming as man, You have guided us back to full communion with You. In my own life, reveal to me the path to holiness and give me the courage to follow it.

In doing my inner child work, I realized that from about age 8 I took this message:Be perfect or be rejected.By God, by family, by church, by friends.Sure, you could repent and make things right…But you were always one sin or misstep away from being rejected.It's not a fun way to live.As I've come to know God better, I believe he is unfairly generous with us.He's looking for us to come to Him and know Him…Not waiting for us to make a mistake to punish us.So, I've decided to trust that unfair generosity…And try to give it to myself, my wife, my kids, my friends and the people I interact with.It feels very freeing and powerful.Watch on YouTube here.Dr. Mike P.S.

Women entrepreneurs in finance and technology are being urged to 'back themselves' as applications open for the 2026 She's Next Visa Grant Programme. Empowered by Visa and aimed at closing the entrepreneurship gap in Ireland, She's Next 2026 will provide five women-owned businesses with €90,000 in business funding together with expert coaching, mentorship and additional resources to help their businesses thrive. For the first time, it also brings together some of Ireland's most respected businesswomen – Aimee Connolly (founder and CEO, Sculpted by Aimee), Breege O'Donoghue (former board member, Primark) and Gráinne Mullins (founder, Grá Chocolates) – who will provide mentorship to this year's five winners. Together with a range of Visa business supports, the winners will benefit from the experience and expertise of these exceptional business leaders, who have also been announced as judges for the 2026 She's Next programme. And, despite operating in different sectors and encountering different challenges, all three agreed on three defining factors for success: — Back yourself: Aimee Connolly said that self-belief can be the biggest hurdle to taking the next step in business. "Even the most successful businesspeople can suffer from imposter syndrome, but this is often predicated on feelings, not fact," she said. "Starting a business, dealing with challenges, setting high standards and showing genuine passion for what you are doing is proof of capability. So, recognise your capabilities and back yourself, and you'll have one less negative thing to deal with." — Seek mentorship early, not when you're struggling: Breege O'Donoghue in particular advises female founders to surround themselves with good people to accelerate growth early on, and proactively build networks before major growth periods. "Mentorship is a growth and confidence accelerator, the value of which cannot be underestimated," she said. "Build strong networks – not just within your own industry – and learn from others as you grow. But be generous and empathetic, and be willing to reciprocate by showing support to others too." — Perfection – the enemy of progress: According to Gráinne Mullins, many women wait until they feel 'ready' before pitching or applying for funding. But, says the Galway woman, if you wait until you feel 100% ready, you may never take that next step. "Perfection is the enemy of progress, and rather than wait for everything to be 'perfect', I encourage women entrepreneurs to pursue their goals with vision and focus. Taking the next step, regardless of what stage you are at in your journey, could be the difference between opportunity realised and opportunity missed." Speaking at the launch of the 2026 She's Next Programme, Ines Obtinalla, Ireland Head of Marketing at Visa, said: "While progress has been made, women entrepreneurs in Ireland are still facing barriers to funding and mentorship. Visa backs small businesses with big ambitions, and this programme will deliver the resources and expertise to power our five winners' next steps. "The advice from the mentors is clear: backing yourself isn't just a mindset, it's a catalyst for growth, and that's exactly what the She's Next programme is designed to support. We've already seen the positive impact of previous programmes, where funding and mentorship have empowered women business owners to turn ambition into action. With Visa championing their progress, businesses haven't just grown; many have scaled, innovated and created lasting impact. So, if you're ready to take the next step in your business journey, now is the time to apply." 2026 Visa She's Next – What Winners Receive Four women entrepreneurs will each receive €10,000; one overall winner will receive €50,000 All winners will receive mentoring from three of Ireland's leading businesswomen: Aimee Connolly, Breege O'Donoghue and Gráinne Mullins Individual and group pitch preparation sessions Access to ongoing supports available through Vi...

In this week's episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony walk through the 10 harsh fitness truths almost everyone runs into at some point in their journey. Things like why changing your body often means changing your identity, why health doesn't always look like fitness, and why progress usually takes way longer than you expect. They also talk about failure, comparison, obsessive “healthy” habits, and why most of your results actually come from what you do outside the gym. It's an honest look at what it really takes to make progress when the motivation fades and the work gets boring.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for Fitness Stuff PREMIUM here!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ALL of our complete 12-week training programsBonus episodes every FridayJust $5 /month⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Legion Athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BOGO 50% off for your first order + 2X points on every order after thatuse code “FSPOD” at checkoutTimestamps(2:37) New life will cost your old

LESSON 67Love Created Me Like Itself.Today's idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you are. We will make every effort today to reach this truth about you, and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth.In the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating this truth about you, and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant thoughts, such as:Holiness created me holy.Kindness created me kind.Helpfulness created me helpful.Perfection created me perfect.Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His Own. We are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.After you have gone over several such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient, and that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that, and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have succeeded or not.It will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for the day as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. Four or five times an hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this.Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your tiny, solitary voice that tells you this. This is the Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode, GG Hawkins speaks with editor Harrison Atkins about shaping A24's How to Make a Killing with director John Patton Ford. Atkins breaks down his path into editing, his holistic “total filmmaker” approach to storytelling, and the editorial challenges of balancing dark comedy, violence, voiceover, and audience empathy around a morally compromised protagonist. The conversation also explores the realities of studio post-production, from long edit timelines and test screenings to cutting in Adobe Premiere's Productions workflow while collaborating with a London-based post team more accustomed to Avid. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Harrison Atkins discuss... How Harrison Atkins found his way into editing through directing and making his own films Why he thinks of editing as a holistic, dramaturgical part of filmmaking rather than a purely technical role Reuniting with director John Patton Ford after Emily the Criminal What drew him to the multi-tonal mix of crime, satire, dark comedy, and violence in How to Make a Killing How voiceover created both opportunity and endless editorial possibilities in the cut The difference between an indie sprint like Emily the Criminal and the extended timeline of a studio feature How test screenings and audience response helped refine comedy, pacing, and emotional momentum Why the first reel was crucial to getting audiences aligned with a charismatic but morally gray lead The editorial challenge of shaping an underdog around Glenn Powell's natural confidence and charm How Premiere's Productions workflow supported a collaborative feature edit with multiple people working simultaneously What it was like cutting the film in London with assistant editors adapting from an Avid-heavy post environment How temporary VFX comps in After Effects and Photoshop helped solve story and joke-building problems inside the edit Harrison's philosophy of leadership, collaboration, intuition, and staying present as both an editor and director His advice to emerging filmmakers: fail boldly, work small if necessary, and keep making things instead of waiting for permission Memorable Quotes: “I never really considered myself an editor. I still kind of weirdly don't.” (01:19) “The calendar is really a myth.” (06:59) “The difference between a joke that lands and one that doesn't is often microscopic.” (13:30) “Perfection is the enemy of good.” (33:50) Guests: Harrison Atkins Resources: How to Make a Killing Emily the Criminal Total Filmmaker by Jerry Lewis Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

When you lose your temper with your kid, it doesn't feel great. But it IS totally normal.Perfection is not possible, in parenting especially. All parents lose their temper and speak or act harshly towards their kids from time to time.You'll Learn:Unhealthy ways parents often handle a rupture10 benefits of repair conversations for kidsHow to lead a repair conversation with your child (and what to expect when you do)In this episode, I'm sharing what's really going on when you lose your temper and what to do after the dust settles.-----------------------------------When You Lose Your TemperFirst, let's get clear on one thing.No one can make you angry. Not even your kid.Anger is an emotion that comes from your thoughts about a situation or behavior.And getting angry isn't actually the problem.What really matters is how you handle the moments when anger takes over and you lose your temper.These moments are sometimes called “ruptures”, because they interrupt the connection between parent and child.When you speak or act harshly towards your child, you create a negative impact and disconnection in your relationship.Have A Repair ConversationWhen you do lose your temper, it's time to take responsibility for your actions and repair the rupture (in the same way we would guide our kids to take responsibility for the impacts of their behavior)."Repair" is the conversation you have with your child in order to mend the disconnection between you.These conversations teach your kids how to resolve conflict, empower them to make mistakes and repair them and create more emotional safety and connection in your home.A repair conversation has three parts:Acknowledge what happenedRecognize the impact your behavior had on themRepair your mistakeAnd in between, you hold plenty of space for your child to process and respond.I'll walk you through these three parts in more detail and show you how to have a repair conversation with your kids that actually restores connection and strengthens your relationships.There is no "right" outcome for these conversations. They can be awkward and don't always go smoothly.

Mufti Abdur-Rahman presents a reflective and insightful talk centered on Shaykh Masihullah Khan's The Path to Perfection, focusing on the chapter “Love of the World.” Through a moving reading of the text and thoughtful commentary, he brings its timeless spiritual lessons into conversation with the realities of modern life. The talk offers clear, practical guidance on navigating today's challenges while cultivating sincerity, balance, and a deeper connection to what truly matters. In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman covers the book titled, 'Essentials of Islamic Spirituality' previously known as 'The Path to Perfection'. Link to book: https://www.whitethreadpress.com/publication/essentials-of-islamic-spirituality/ At a time when the discourse surrounding Islam is generally inauthentic and shallow, The Essentials of Islamic Spirituality presents a much-needed antidote. It goes beyond simply diagnosing the spiritual ailments that afflict us; it puts forward means of eradicating them, so that we as individuals, as communities, and as an Umma can reap the benefits of a spiritual way of life. White Thread Press makes this invaluable work available in elegant and moving prose, while remaining true to its traditional origins. The result, a profound awakening of the heart, is within the reach of all. Those new to the spiritual sciences will delight in the range and profundity of the psychological and spiritual disciplines of Islam, while those already on the Path will gain new insights and perspectives. Shaykh Masihullah Khan, a renowned student of the eminent Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi, wrote Shari'at & Tasawwuf to pass on to future generations of Muslims the numerous benefits of his teacher's wisdom. The teachings gathered here are notes of admonition and encouragement written by a man who has walked the path to his Creator; and at their core, these teachings are sustenance for the ailing hearts and souls of our time.

What if the thing wrecking your faith, your relationships, and your calling isn't a behavior problem, it's a worldview problem? In this episode, Daron unpacks the separation worldview and its four deadly parts: scarcity, certainty, perfection, and self-focus. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: ⚡️The only two worldviews that actually operate in our world ⚡️How scarcity shapes what you believe about God, yourself, and others ⚡️The perfection trap that keeps you from starting, risking, and becoming ⚡️Why most of our spiritual growth might actually be spiritual narcissism This is Part 1 of a two-part series on worldview, curated from the teaching of Jamie Winship. Part 2 covers the connection worldview, abundance, mystery, fallibility, and others-focused and how shifting to it can unlock the life you were designed for.

In Part 1 of this new series, The Path to Perfection, Pastor Kong Hee reminds us that spiritual maturity doesn't happen by accident—it is a path, a process, a journey with God. John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, taught that the path to spiritual perfection is ultimately the path of love. The goal of the Christian life is not performance, but growing ever deeper in God's love.

Ep # 106: Consistency Over Perfection: Briana Clearly on Making 12 Films in a YearThis episode was recorded live on Saturday February 28th, 2026 at Lumpen Radio.Summary of the episodeIn this live, unedited episode recorded at Lumpen Radio 105.5 FM in Chicago, I sit down with Chicago filmmaker Briana Clearly to talk about what it really means to choose consistency over perfection.Briana took on the ambitious challenge of making 12 films in 12 months — and then turned that experiment into a community-driven initiative called Filmmakers Mixtape. In this conversation, we unpack how committing to one film a month transforms not just your craft, but your mindset.We talk about creative blocks, releasing work before it feels “ready,” building artistic community without ego, and why making good films is actually a side effect — not the point.If you're an artist stuck in perfectionism, a filmmaker craving momentum, or someone who needs a reminder to just make the thing anyway, this episode is for you.What we talk about (you know… casually)Making 12 films in 12 months (and why you don't need money to do it)Why consistency beats perfection every timeBuilding Filmmakers Mixtape from a personal challenge into a cohortHow community makes better art (and better artists)Briana's journey from the Navy to film schoolMentorship, vulnerability, and learning to take feedbackThe dream of friendship-centered dramediesReleasing work publicly — even when it feels scaryThings We MentionedFilmmakers MixtapeLeague of Their Own ChicagoBrain StudiosLumpen RadioAll about... Briana ClearlyYou're gonna love Briana Clearly — she's a collaborative director, community builder, and the creative force behind Filmmakers Mixtape, a 12-month filmmaking challenge designed to help artists prioritize process over perfection.A former Navy sailor turned Chicago-based filmmaker, Briana is deeply committed to telling stories centered on Black women, friendship, and lived experience — always inviting audiences into conversation rather than spectacle.She believes filmmaking is a practice, not a performance.

Travis Chappell solo-hosts this episode of Travis Makes Money, sharing hard-won life lessons from his own journey as a creator, entrepreneur, and podcast coach. He breaks down mindset traps that keep people stuck—like perfectionism, negativity bias, and emotional reactivity—and offers practical tools for building resilience, happiness, and momentum in both life and business. Through stories, analogies, and real-life examples (including a tense pickup basketball game), Travis gives listeners concrete ways to rewire their thinking for long-term success and peace of mind. On this episode we talk about: Why “done is better than perfect” and how perfectionism turns into procrastination The importance of shipping imperfect work to get real-world feedback How to hardwire happiness by revisiting positive moments and strengthening neural pathways Using gratitude and visualization to combat negativity bias and anxiety Stoic principles: external events vs. your perception and reaction Practical strategies to pause before reacting and respond in ways that serve your goals Top 3 Takeaways Done beats perfect every time. Waiting for perfection keeps you from ever launching the book, product, or podcast that will actually teach you what needs to improve. You can train your brain toward happiness. By intensifying and revisiting moments of joy and gratitude, you widen the mental “paths” that make it easier to access positive emotional states. Events aren't the problem—your reaction is. Your long-term happiness is tied less to what happens and more to the way you choose to interpret and respond, especially in emotionally charged moments.

From design constraints and material decisions to B Corp, 1% for the Planet, and sustainability reporting, this is an honest founder-level look at what it actually takes to balance environmental ambition with business reality, and why sustainability is a discipline, not a label.Timestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[00:00] The Question Most Consumers Never Ask[02:10] From Sustainability Advisor to Bootstrapped Founder[04:45] Progress vs Perfection in Sustainable Business[07:30] The 4-Pillar Sustainability Framework (Environment, People, Economy, Culture)[10:15] Why Sustainability Lives in Engineering Constraints[12:00] Designing for Longevity (And the Business Model Tension)[14:20] Care-Centered Design & Piper's Physiotherapy Moment[16:30] Material Trade-Offs: Why Bamboo Wasn't the Right Choice[19:00] Certifications Explained: What Actually Matters[21:30] 1% for the Planet & Financial Accountability[23:10] FSC Packaging, REACH & Compliance[24:45] B Corp: Why It's Not a Day One Certification[26:30] Sustainability Reporting & Measurement[27:40] Why Profit Is Oxygen in Sustainable Business[29:00] Celebrating Brands That Are Doing the Work[30:00] Final Thoughts & Community InvitationLinks from the episodes:1% for the PlanetPrevious Mama Earth Talk Episode with the CEO of 1% for the Planet, Kate WilliamsPet Sustainability CoalitionB Corp CertificationForest Stewardship Council (FSC) ISO 14001 Environmental Management SystemsCradle to Cradle CertificationMama Earth Talk Online CourseKey Takeaways:• Sustainable product development is not theoretical, it's constrained by tooling costs, manufacturing realities, minimum order quantities, and cash flow.• A structured sustainability framework (Environment, People, Economy, Culture) is your decision-making filter when trade-offs get hard.• Perfection can become paralysis, progress with sequencing is often more impactful than waiting for “100% sustainable.”• Sustainability in hard goods lives in engineering decisions, not marketing language.• Designing for longevity reduces waste, but can reduce repeat purchases. That's a business model tension founders must face.• The “most sustainable-looking” material isn't always the most appropriate one. Context matters.• Certifications are validation layers, not starting point, they should align with operational readiness and financial stability.• Material compliance (FDA, REACH, BPA-free) is foundational and often more important than flashy badges.• Sustainability reporting turns intention into measurement, and measurement drives accountability.• Profit isn't the enemy of sustainability, it's oxygen. Without financial viability, environmental ambition can collapses.• Transparency builds trust when it shows process, not perfection.• Celebrating brands that are doing the structural work shifts incentives across the industry.• Sustainability isn't a label, it's an ongoing discipline.
