I have a video guy that is second to none! He does an awesome job putting together these Gabbin’ with Gavin shows. Today I got a sneak peek at the rough cut and I was very happy with it. Why is that so amazing? Simply because, I AM NEVER HAPPY WITH ANYTHING!

I am my own worst critic. So of you racers out there know what I am talking about. To others, your race or your pass may have been excellent but you yourself know that it could have been better. If you are like me, you nit pick every little thing. It is part of what makes a champion so great. Obsessive attention to detail.

It can also drive a person to the brink of madness. Because I am in a business where perfection is simply not attainable. Now, if I was a professional bowller, it is simple to measure perfection. A 300 game is as good as anyone can do.

I don’t bowl. I am in show business. So this is a new reality for me. A huge epiphany if you will. Instead of focusing on all the things I could have done better, I am going to happy with what I did. I am not going to tear apart every performance. Yes, I could lose some weight, yes my hair was all over the place, yes, I stumbled on a word here and there and rambled a bit.

But I will let those things go and focus on the big picture for a change. Was the show better than a sharp stick in the eye? Yeah, I think it was…I could always be better, but for a first pass, it wasn’t too bad. I will be happy with that. And THAT my friends is a huge breakthrough for me. My show won’t be perfect but it will be REAL, it will be the best that I could do that day and I won’t obsess over it. Hopefully you will like what you see!
