You're Not Supposed to Be Perfect

We live in a world where we think we know what we want but we don't. We play the blind game of comparison to trick ourselves into thinking what a perfect self and life should be.

I hope you enjoy and as always write to me with your thoughts :) Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe Today'...
