  Speaker 1: Well, good morning, listeners. Thank you for listening to Lament
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of Hope podcast. And thank you for listening, watching whichever
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: platform you're on.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: And I find that sort of bicep kissing attitude a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: bit very annoying, actually, not a bit annoying. I find
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: it very annoying because I don't think it's constructive. I mean,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it is my, the fact that I am consistently doubtful
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of myself that drives my perfectionism and drives the fact
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that I always have to go the extra mile and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: not be happy until the whole thing is super perfect
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and super polished and super accurate. I wouldn't have won
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: back off if I wasn't like that. So I don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: think that feeling should be demonized because in my case
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: at least, my insecurities have brought me where I am today.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So I'd rather embrace my insecurities and use that fear
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of failure to improve my output than relish in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: idea that I'm super confident, I know what I'm doing,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And then when it comes to deliver it, you're not
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: up to scratch. I always tell the people that I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: work with that I like to under-promise and over-deliver. And,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know, because of this, I'd rather say, oh, no,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure I can do that. And then I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: do it and I do it extremely well. And then say, oh, yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm 100% sure I can do that. And then when
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you deliver it, it's not as good as people expected it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: so yeah I think that you're absolutely correct and I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: completely in agreement with what you say and in fact
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I believe that as I said insecurities should be just
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: embraced and turned into a positive energy rather than being demonized.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Well yeah and I think it's recognizing that you're as
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a human being you have limits you have limitations which
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is really important too because if you're Like you're saying,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: if you think you've got everything right and you're very
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: confident in everything you do, when will you learn anything?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, there just won't, you won't have an attitude
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of wanting to learn, you know, cause you'll be like,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I already know, you know, I'm good. But if you're insecure,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't know something, it seeks you to search as well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And to keep, yeah, I, I, I agree with you.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That's it's true. And unfortunately, yeah, we're really going that way.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So it, that, that's a good, that's a really good reminder. Well,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I want to be careful of your time, so I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just want to ask one more question because I've been
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: thinking about this.
