Perfection is the enemy of progress. You can't make something better that hasn't been created yet... Great video!

[@naiomimariefan]

good point

[@melaniegriesemer]

“When you hold yourself back, you are holding US back from receiving you” I love this!!

[@nadiarambles]

“My goal isn’t to make things perfect. My goal is to express myself.” Love that. 💜 I held on to my first few videos, edited and edited them, Eventually, I realized that I just had to hit publish, and am working on developing a creative routine now. You inspired me a lot with that!

[@XxEtHaN39xX]

Fuck man, every single video you create is exactly what I need at that moment. This video has landed for me in so many ways, thank you for the reminder to consistently show up and be seen. Thank you for helping us, me, we be better human beings.

I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person. 😁

oooo i just got the chills reading this....im absolutely in the same boat. it's kinda scary how fast the universe can confirm things!

[@arinaabdrakhmanova7046]

I've been thinking the same thing!

[@oliviamartin5944]

Yo same ✨🤟🏾

[@CrystleSky]

I needed this video. I know what im posting has nothing to do with this video but this video brought me some piece. My soul mate of 20 years left me a week ago behind my back he built a new house got a new car, new girlfriend, and a new phone with a new number and while at an appointment he texted me with the old number he was leaving. After he texted me he turned the phone off so I couldn't reach him. Just the week before he left he told me how much he loves me, I'm his favorite person and how I help him. He also said he wanted no contact for 90 days because that's how long it takes to break a habit. He also took out all the money out of the account. He left me with nothing but a house of memories. I'm deeply sad and painful so just seeing this really brought a small drop of piece on a sad day. Thank you for that.

[@care4rami]

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again. 💫

[@HoneyBunRoad]

Seriously! I started selling before I had “perfected” my brand. It look about 6months until I was happy about the logo, packaging and all that. The product was solid though! So by the time my brand was perfect and aesthetically pleasing, I already had a bunch of loyal customers. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO START TODAY ❤️

[@naominichole91]

The main reason I haven’t uploaded my first KZbin video because I always think it has to be “perfect”. I know I’ll find knowledge through this video as I do with all your other videos!

[@nadiarambles]

I feel this! I worked on a video for six months, mostly editing small details and cutting it down because I was nervous it wasn’t “good enough.” Eventually, I just had to let it go, and hit publish. I bet your video is excellent, and that you choose to hit publish. 💕

[@ayushmaandureja6943]

I have been going through the same thing, I think I am just gonna publish my first video whether it's perfect or not. Also, I have a fear of being judged by people that I know if I upload a video. I don't know how to deal with that.

[@SakiTavi]

Honestly, perfectionism has stopped me from doing many things that I want to do in life. It keeps me stagnant because my fear of something not being good enough, which somehow outweighs everything else. My only regret is not doing things when I knew I should so I could’ve made my mistakes and learned from them. It is only there where I would improve..

[@snowmandashowman]

I’m learning this now, I’m a perfectionist..shit is depleting & kills your goals in the long run, kills your life too. You start to feel because you’re not perfect that your life isn’t & you start to let doubt creep in..but for me, taking time everyday to be grateful helps me train my mind & lift myself & my spirits. I hope it helps anyone reading this 🍵🙂

[@dantepepper]

Nothing wrong with doing the best you can but when it harms your mental health you have to reevaluate

🧿🧿🧿 Divine Protection King! Sincerely love these videos.

[@brittanyerin3352]

I needed all of this. I create so many videos that I don’t post on my KZbin and I’m stopping my own growth. Thank you my Pisces brother.

[@kayyla5]

its the way i was thinking about this topic literally an hour ago...

[@dazewithin]

We are elevating into a mutual frequency its time for us to tune in, because your comment was my exact thought.

[@Lucyrainz]

I LOVE how you started the video off with zooming out of the bushes

[@c.wander555]

I went through such a breakthrough regarding perfectionism last semester! I turned in a project I hated with all my guts because I felt like It was a 3/10 job and my uni teacher loved it he put a 100/100 lol. I sat there thinking...well that was unexpected. What is not perfect for me can clearly be for someone else.

[@YaliciaRamos]

You’re in my head Hindz !! Grateful for the alignment 💯✨

[@Winis_World]

The timing of this video is PERFECT!! Thank you Hindz❤️

[@bigwavemedia658]

U got this!

[@Winis_World]

@@bigwavemedia658 aww thank you so much❤️

[@adrianac2580]

Just what I needed! 💚 Perfection is also a great fear of being seen in our flaws. But, what is our humanity without the mistakes and the downs of living? Not being alive. That’s why living and being in motion go together.

[@AmaraAnigbo]

*"My goal isn't to be perfect, my goal is to express myself and through that I reach perfection."* A WORD. I needed to hear this, I am new creator here on KZbin and it is so hard to create sometimes because I find myself being hypercritical of my work but this video reminded me it is not about the destination, it is about the journey. Keep sharing your love and light with the world Hindz! :)

[@janetclaireSays]

I've struggled with the dark side of perfectionism most of my life. Not when I was a little kid. I think then I didn't expect it of myself or didn't even know it was a thing. But I have been paralyzed by perfectionism as an adult. This is such a valuable video for me, thank you! Also, I love how your 2nd photo shoot turned out! You have a great eye!

[@lalacha2456]

i kept thinking of "Speak" by jhene aiko while watching this, and so badly i just wanted to share and speak about what i've learned so far in my self growth journey and my creative process so that others who need more guidance in that area could have more clarity in their path!! deep inside i definitely was doubting if what i said was enough, lowkey seeking approval, or if i am even good enough to do this, but this just opened my mind even more, thank you so much.

[@SophiaShinAhreum]

"sharing my mind in real time & i'm evolving these ideas... i'm going to get better in real time so people can see the growth..." 🤯 these words resonated with me so much ✨ -- it's starting to shift my paradigm from "let me show my most perfect work NOW and with every moment i must perform to meet all of my expectations" to "i'm acknowledging that i'm human and the moment/thoughts/self i have right now is fleeting so let's capture that and transform as we go and do the work each day." thank you for the wisdom and words of affirmation & inspiration!!

[@aureliere]

This has been so encouraging to hear. As a "recovering" perfectionist, I am learning like you to work with it and around it. Just going to go ahead and keep doing it even though imperfectly.

[@valerialopez8384]

I needed this thank you! I struggled with OCD tendencies and it’s difficult to let go of control in life but mindful mornings have been helping me so much. Your videos have guided me in this journey

[@wamaitharewild]

Thank you brother 😭😭😭😭😭 I've been crying throughout this video. I created a KZbin channel, came up with my plan, video schedule, learnt how to make videos... I have learnt everything possible but still, I haven't launched yet. It's been 4 years. I'm setting myself free, it's been too heavy carrying this and feeling like a failure at the same time. I'm putting it all down and just making videos that I like.

[@mx8357]

Crazy.. I was just thinking about my issue with perfectionism two days ago and since then I’ve had 3 videos on perfectionism come up in my inbox.. the universe is listening lol

[@aimhover6669]

Thank you for the wisdom today

[@izzie8910]

I really needed this today. I've been starting my own art business and I'm still figuring out what I want to do for it and I've been making content to start out with but been way to hard on myself to make perfect content which has been preventing me from posting anything. I'm definitely taking your advice and going to post stuff that may not be perfect but is still something. Your videos have been helping me so much this year I'm excited to see what else you do!

[@WithCarrinay]

Dont you be hard on yourself, i myself going through the exact same as you, thanks to hindz an you that motivated me today to not give up an keep going.

[@pintooo1359]

This is very valuable and meaningful. Thx so much for sharing Hindz.

[@jalenmelody]

I’ve been holding myself back for the past 11 years in making KZbin videos I have TONS of videos just sitting in my laptop that I didn’t feel were “perfect” as well as a pod cast that has been sitting in my mind for 2 years. Thank you for this it’s time for me to start.

[@valentinat2946]

I feel like I‘m the person holding myself back, so thank you for this sign 🌱

[@earthangel8596]

*Hindz* brud'ah! *Thank you* for this positive message ... helps to be reminded. I have been kinda frozen creatively, productively Etc. Lost my beloved grandmother in Dec. 2020.. not becuz of covid but becuz of covid protocol i was unable to be with her or see her. She was in a rehabilitation facility. It's been devastating to me. I started drinking tea daily & constantly to soothe myself. Feels like it helps. Found this channel couple months ago & have Enjoyed your *Vibe*, your *Spirit*, your *messages*❣

[@sirenaspeaks]

I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS 🥺

[@elisenicole1021]

Hindz, you should start your own line of tea💚 🍵 🤍

[@HINDZSIGHT]

its in the works

[@aidajones-goins882]

"You see, when you hold yourself back because you are insecure or you think everything has to be perfect, you are holding us back from receiving the real you: the growing. You don't know what we are going to love about you. You understand?" Thank you, HINDZ.

[@crystaljoseph1655]

I found you about a week ago.......... best thing that ever happened to me in a while! so relaxing...so clean and pure... your voice . Thank you!

[@ShanitaKumar]

"You don't know what we are going to love about you." Yes!!! 💖💖💖

[@Rix_Hernandez]

I love how you are able to speak out words that I have in my head that I cant seem to let out.

[@eugeniaedits]

So much needed. I am an artist and I am all over the place from sewing to pottery to digital graphics. Once a teacher told me I was “hard to market” and that I should stick to one thing. But I can’t imagine living in the world that has so many beautiful things and sticking to only one. So this idea of just being in motion and putting yourself out there helped me today so much. Thank you. ♥️

[@kenderalauraomanga7244]

Thank you for your words of wisdom. I am that Person, Just this morning, I was telling myself that I need to create something everyday for the next two months with the supplies I have in my home and the ideas within me. To complete my art pieces, work on my books, challenge my illustration capabilities, design on paper, sew with the African fabric my sister sent me, finsh making the jewelry.... I have often thought that I needed to narrow down and perfect one or two creative ideas because it can get overwhelming. We know how that ends. Which ones? Then I think about these gifts God has blessed me with and how they really are to be birthed and shared. Today, I make that commitment. To allow my creativity to flow and to photographing and journal my progress every day. To be kind to myself as I embark on this beautiful journey. I love what you told you brother, "Do everything. Everything that's on your spirit...."

[@sirenaspeaks]

“Our highest form of nutrition is in our expression.” ✨I love that so much.

[@ilalai1843]

towards the end you nailed it on the head that's exactly what i'm doing holding myself back waiting for the perfection it's stop me from doingg so much, i will try and take that on thank you Hindz

[@izzy.dr0ne]

My brother!! Thank you so much for all that you do. I really needed this right now. 1) Action will be taken 2) Awesome intro & outro fir this video! 3) Hype on the site!! Congrats 4) Can’t wait fir the tea!!! 5) Looking forward to meeting you and being in your presence one day. 🙏🏾 Shukran.

You are truly a gift from God, thank you for being fully who you are. This one specifically was the reset I needed

[@MERCY.N.ICECROSS]

Your voice is one of the best calming voices I’ve ever heard. I listen to you in my lowest moments and you always boost my moods. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤. You’ve also taught me something today, am so into perfectionism 😢

[@earthtoaaron_]

Your guidance and wisdom is so inspiring!!!

[@bankstheshot]

Sipping my 🍵 and enjoying this content. Really opening up my crown Chakra because I've been holding myself back from every for 10 years due to being a perfectionist. Thank you!

[@katarinacordero2779]

Thank you for making this video. Legit on break at work and I am in my car trying to refrain from crying and having a complete e meltdown. I started this job two months ago and yes I am perfectionist but it has been so overwhelming knowing that I have so many new tasks that I have to tackle that are brand new to me and have no skill for. But this video is helping me to realize that I just need to allow myself to be free and open and my true self will get me through it. Thank you!

[@BuiNguyenMinhChau]

First video of you I watch and I cry a river. Feel like a little sister listens to a wise gentle older brother. Need to watch videos, again and again, to understand and have time to think and do reflection. Big thanks from bottom of my heart. I will share this video with some of the people I love.

[@nadirbenkahla]

Hands down this is the best advice for anyone that wants to create. Bless! 🙏

[@oceansupply8106]

I found your channel a couple days ago, and i love your vibes

[@iamQRE3D]

MUCH APPRECIATE YA FOR THIS ONE HINDZ!!! I needed to hear this. IMMA KZbinr and I haven't posted in about 6 months, and Part of it is because of Burnout and the rest because of Perfectionism! I've dealt with it my whole life and til this day it is a struggle for me to hop back.on the KZbin/digital game as an artist! Because perfection drives to me to me things just right to the slightest detail and its a pain in the butt. But I haven't mastered making it good enough to so I can grow and change my life and make certain content to perfection ya know. I appreciate ya Hindsight on this it's helped me alot. Keep doing ya thing!

[@elizabethashley1436]

This hit me very deeply as someone who has been fearful of acting, fearful of showing flaws and the journey of growth. Thank you so much, your videos are amazing.

[@youaretheone1650]

Thank you Love! Appreciate your presence and help :)

[@ilalai1843]

growth never stops we are forever changing the skill is to appreciate and surrender to the process without judgement.

[@ughaleah]

i love watching your videos while im making/eating breakfast. it's like a mini meditation without having to put all my energy into it

[@CutGEBRINE]

Hindz, I have watched and loved so many of your videos, but this…this the one. I cant tell you how grateful i am for this video. You managed to summarize exactly how ive been feeling my whole life. Even the insecurity about your teeth - i felt the exact same with mine. I feel so seen and inspired knowing you went through the same thing and came of out it like this. Thank you a million. My favorite video EVER 🙏🏼

[@RealTalkswithTiffTone]

Thx for sharing! Your channel is so encouraging.It’s not about what you think you don’t have.We have so much to offer the world. Every body wants to be accepted, not realizing ppl will accept you for you. Don’t hold yourself back. Love it!! Great Energy, Great Vibes✌🏽

[@Cyadelina]

You're literally my Guru. Thank you Hindz! 💓

[@GlowupwithPing]

Thank so much! Your content always reminds me how to live a fulfill creative life. 💕 I really need this. For the past few years, I’ve hold myself back because I want to show up as “perfect” so I ended up not creating anything. Now, I’m just like whatever I’ll do it anyway because it’s my passion. Now, my TikTok is blowing!!

[@jagthestar]

wow first the comments was at 333 before me but thanks for this Hindz i really needed this i dropped a tear and everything lol thank you for showing the real you and taking that risks to help people like me

[@kaiaproctor6540]

I swear you’re always putting out content that’s exactly what I’m needing on the day it’s released it’s wild thankyou for creating

[@pure2794]

Thank you! I think this pushed me further towards creating and sharing my art!❤

[@sammisai5301]

I built my website months ago and have yet to publish it because it's not perfect. Hitting publish as I write this because I need to express myself more than I need to be perfect! Thank you for this, I loved it so much 🙏🏽🤍

[@AdrianLoganLive]

This message came at the right time (second time listening) I'm having the same perfectionist setbacks with making youtube videos as you shared. I've been stripping down the desire to have the footage just perfect, and ideas and thoughts outlined and getting back to more authentic, barebones, just speaking to the camera-type expression. Which I'm loving, though working through the perfectionist desire is an ongoing battle. I intend to be able to make a living off of my videos and expand the type of content I create eventually to other platforms, so perfectionism is something I must and will get over to step into my highest ambitions. Thanks for sharing your experience, it's helped. I think I may have to make next weeks video on the same topic but from my perspective. All the best with your work. Peace & blessings

[@wavybrcks5569]

Thankyou Thankyou so much for your consistent light within my journey you are appreciated 🤲🏾✨💙

I loved your message, it touched my soul On my Instagram page, I've had "expression is liberation" in the bio since the start. This video reminded me of why I started it in the first place. Thank you, Hindz

[@DavidBoland]

I’ve definitely been finding big value in daily commitments to video creation, both in terms of personal/channel growth & skillset improving. Thanks for all you do. Also the colour in your videos is amazing if you’d consider giving a look inside your workflow that would be appreciated:)

[@tffy2004]

The second time I have listened to your video and you mention that you disliked about yourself the one think i REALLY dislike about me but other admire....my speaking voice Thank you

[@dazewithin]

HINDZ I APPRECIATE you, you always post a video about very relevant things that I go through in the same exact moment you post, you are such a vibe that helps me move into purpose and motivation, its time to manifest what my soul was called for. thank you for all your words. they impacted me in such a blissful way. thank you.

[@JenniferCynthiaHair]

Wow this is a word that I needed to hear. Thank you for being authentic 🙌🏾

exactly what I'm working through. Thank you Magical Bean!

[@laurenwaingart1703]

you are everything, thank you for being authentically you and teaching us how to approach challenging points within ourselves - you inspire my inner creator and now I am considering starting a podcast :) I love you, namaste

[@al.fchampn8616]

I’ve never really called myself a perfectionist, but considering how often I put off creating an art piece, I have to admit I am, at some point. I put all my time into practicing so that when I do draw a character, it looks amazing; I’ve come far, so much progress has been made, but I have to create something. 😪

[@emilymacmusic]

Wow thank you for sharing. This is my favourite video of yours. Being an artist and perfectionist I can really relate.

[@JustineEllushon]

I try to never hold back because I feel like there is a reason it came upon me to reach out. Also there have been a handful of times when I almost didn't, then when I did, the reaction was really fulfilling and exciting!!!

[@Shyabooboo]

Thank you for those wise words Hindz 🙏🏽 love from Africa ♥️

[@samiullahamini859]

I cant thank you enough for this video. I have just realized that in most of the cases I dont start doing something unless I am well prepared and I have read enough about that particular topic. This has resulted in me never starting most of the things I wanted to do. Now I know that I need to take a leap of fait and learn and grow with the process.

[@chino09214]

Wow HINDZ! As someone who struggles with perfectionism, I truly appreciate the non recycled insights you provide man. Specially this “you don’t know what your audience will like about you”. You are right, never thought of it like that. That I’m keeping forever, whenever the thought of not starting or releasing content, shows up.

[@JW-mg1sk]

Hot damn I am listening to this at the right moment and time and mindset. Shedding layers of doubt takes time, and effort, and listening to your message today helped shed even more. My next creative project is gaining momentum and I must strike while the iron is hot, removing the boulder of perfectionism out of the way.

[@AdoSabrina]

I am finally learning to let go and be patient with myself and give grace just like I would with anyone else. This resignates.💛

[@LTRIVERA32]

Much love and appreciation 🌹. I needed to hear this. So thankful for your channel you are such an great inspiration for the collective. ❤️

[@divinelyguidedwithmaxx5481]

[@leighn.8670]

Thank you brother it can be so challenging to share when we are in these "lesser" states.. knowing this is our own judgments but all the same. You continue to inspire me. I finally started my own channel. Also, I love that you did your own photos!
