I had a very specific moment of choice today. I was walking past a beggar in the metro station (its freezing today) and after walking past them i decided to just go for it and give them some change. And just a few steps further there was another beggar and then i got so confused about what to do. All these thought spirals went in my head about how "this is not good and supports the wrong system and how i could put my money some place better to help. Will i now spend all my money on this?" It felt weird but i walked past. I was ashamed that i gave a coin to the first one and ashamed that i didnt give one to the second one. After listening to this episode now i see why: my mind was filled with fears. If i just focused on the love i felt for those poor freezing people it would have been an easy choice. With my mind coulded by fear it was a difficult and confusing choice. I am sad i didn't follow through the second time and I now feel happy because i know it will be a little easier to follow love next time. Fits so well with letting go of perfectionism. Thank you for sharing your learnings, it helps 🥰

I'm actually crying with gratitude and resonance throughout this whole video. Exactly what I was ready to receive to enrich my life even more with faith in myself, and the 'perfect' encouragement for where I am at this exact moment. My best takeaway : I don't have to be perfect to try it. Thank you❤

I was thinking today that if everyone took a little more time to reflect and give love to others, our world would be a little bit more tolerable. This video came at the perfect time. Thanks for making this video. :)

I deeply resonate with what you’re sharing here. Thank you so much for showing up

Thank you ❤

I love the podcast George. Ive been feeling these exacts thoughts on perfectionism recently. Its crazy how the universe linked us

Hi George, thank you for this episode. I just listened on Spotify and came here to tell you this: I love that you are doing this. I used to watch you starting out on KZfaq back when you were at college. I was doing my Bachelor back then and I am now near the end of my master's degree. We even had some super short interaction on Instagram years ago that you probably do not remember. I have not seen what you have been doing until today when I logged back into Insta which I don't use anymore. I always enjoyed your positive vibe and your courage to become a creator. Having been interested in Buddhism, Meditation and Mindfulness all this time, I did my own share of exploration and learning and I am very happy to be on this path. It feels very good to hear you talk about these things from your perspective and it does motivate me to continue striving for an examined life. You are reaching people and you are making a positive impact. Much Love ❤️

I have this gift of self awareness, but i wasn't as aware of the positive side=== of the light side. i was obsesseed/aware of what i shouldn't be doing, but was. as ive gone through life i've become less hyper aware but more strong and able to choose. ...

this is really nice! i used to do exposure therapy for social anxiety, and the goal was doing these exact things. its less of an issue now, but this phrasing, calling it "choosing love" makes me genuinely want to seek out community connectedness more. ive always called it "doing something uncomfortable", and while not wrong that didnt exactly make it something id look forward to lol

A question on perfectionism, does your work ever feel perfect to you? In other words, are there times when you sit still at the end of a recording and feel that that episode went exactly as you had wanted it to? If so how often? I struggle to produce and express as well due to a desire for perfection, though I'd really like to hear how often that is found from your point of view. I've never had a complaint about any of your episodes, though I'd like to know how often that is the case for the creator himself.
