For the introverts, the creatives, the dreamers and the doers. In this podcast I share inspiring ideas and thoughts that are helping me on my journey.
My name is Roger Ochieng Gray, an African in his late 20's trying to make something out of nothing.

Happy New Month!
It's great to have high standards of oneself. But there's a real danger in having unrealistic expectations.
I'm sure a lot of you have perfectionistic traits like I do. It could be seen innocently when you taking an extra hour to complete something that others would deem satisfactory, or it can be manifest in dark depressive battles within your inner psyche.
On this episode I take notes from a research paper that finds the noted increase in perfectionism is also increasing the risk of mental health issues.
My remedy. Imperfectionism. The habit of acknowledging, owning and challenging ones imperfections.
Episode 40 . Imperfectionism.

We have a disturbing habit of settling for less in life. And a lot of the times its due to social pressures imposed on us.
On this episode I talk about conformity and how to combat it by regaining some self awareness and individuality.
Do not be conned by conformity. You can achieve whatever your imagination believes.
