Brain Dump | Morning Musings

The perfectionist paradox is a video I stumbled upon that felt like another gentle slap. In a nutshell, it's about a person who attempted to be selfless, perfectionist but in the end, none actually likes the person. It's interesting the way the video puts it but also another great reminder that it's OK to be imperfect and makes mistakes.

Since this is the weekend, I've spent my time a little more less conservative . I find myself listening to podcasts of Andrew Huberman and talks of INTJs. One thing that strikes me the most is this video that basically lays out 12 rules for life INTJ version. Although maybe these days not a lot of people associate themselves with MBTI, I just find myself more drawn to it because it offers more alternative to see myself and perhaps a tool for the answers that I seek in life. Knowing my personal MBTI has helped me a little with navigating people, relationship and even the things that truly suit me based on my personality and what I typically enjoy doing. It's a science woo woo at least 😂

Welcome to my brain dump, it’s morning and when I am able to sit down, sipping a cup of coffee while contemplating about life and emptying it out a little.

The video has something that I've been thinking lately regarding idealism and playing politics when it benefits us. I find myself at crossroad sometimes because I wanted to remain authentic but at the same time being authentic just don't get me anywhere. Strangely enough, in that video there's this advice " Style is the gateway to substance" which said that basically it's paradoxical because Intj is most likely into cold-hearted scheming and evil mastermind but dislike being superficial and playing politics. Then, proceed on advising that sometimes looking the part is important because perception. So, despite having the expertise or knowing a lot but if people don't like the way I came across, that'd be a waste, isn't it?

The video speaks to me on a lot of level and sort of gave direction and hits to make my next move in life. Anyhow, if you're an INTJ, that video is pretty refreshing and entertaining too. I mean, that one also tells us how to human 😂 because that video, I got sidetracked and well, it's time for me to plan and prep for tomorrow!
