Egoism, perfectionism, and the fear of failure and judgement have all kept me from reaching a higher level of achievement and production in my language learning (currently German). I realize that I will pursue (often subconciously) certain activities that I know I can perform relatively well, or at least perform without being judged by others, and avoid other activities, such as speaking my target language aloud, for fear of appearing incompetent or inept. You are definitely right: It is very difficult to remove the ego and perfectionism from the equation. I really enjoy your daily insights, by the way. Take care.

That “must win” attitude can spoil an activity for the whole group. Thanks for saying it so clearly!!

I am 63yr old and wish I would have been contemplating these 3 questions earlier in my life! How would I be different today? And how would my responses to life’s circumstances have modeled a new way to think for my children? I can’t change the past, but I can make better choices going forward! And I intend to do it very intentionally! Thank you!!

Through reading widely, listening, observing… and having my friends point out the blind spots! 😉

But how do you make sure you don’t overlook your own blind spots/preconceived conceptions?
Just a thought from a friend
