Why chasing validation always held me back

Описание: For years, I believed I had to be perfect before I could start. I thought I needed skill, certainty, and approval before taking action — and I didn’t realize how much that mindset was holding me back. In this video, I share how letting go of perfectionism and the need for praise completely changed my growth, confidence, and momentum.
Waiting to be “ready” keeps so many people stuck. #Perfectionism disguises itself as preparation, but it’s often just fear — fear of making mistakes, #fear of being judged, fear of not being validated. Once I embraced messy action, everything shifted. Progress replaced paralysis. Learning replaced overthinking. I started optimizing along the way instead of trying to get everything right upfront.
This video dives into:
Why perfectionism blocks progress and creativity
How the need for validation slows personal growth
The power of vulnerability and imperfect action
Why confidence is built through action, not approval
How taking imperfect steps creates momentum
#Growth isn’t about looking flawless — it’s about showing up. Every misstep becomes part of your story. When you stop chasing praise and start chasing progress, you build resilience, self-trust, and freedom.
If you’re struggling with overthinking, fear of failure, or self-doubt, this message is for you.
