Sometimes, we're our own worst critics without realizing it. And I think it's in the bid to get ourselves to something else that we forget what we truly are.

This is a reminder to be more appreciative of ourselves and see how far we can grow

"You’re not incapable. You’re not behind. You’re probably just very good at convincing yourself you are.". This struck a nerve.

Beliefs of incapability shaped by repetition.

It's time to change what is being repeated

This is exactly why I’m compounding on my talent this year. I’ve had years of major accomplishments feel like nothing because it was “easy” for me to do. This was a great reminder.

Wow! I honestly don’t think many people (myself included) even consider that false humility is essentially shrinking their true self.

This is for me. I'll take myself seriously this year, by God's mercy.

I give great personal development advice or coaching. Yet, because it comes easily to me, I've been calling it normal.

Yesterday I had to really look at myself and my beliefs because my friend told me that her friend told her that my content is nice. I was having a conversation with my friend yesterday and he kept telling me I can start a YouTube channel but I kept brushing it off and telling him that he's just whining me and i do realize now that I've been shrinking myself because I havent been posting consistently but after that awareness, I'm planning on starting again and building consistency in making content cause I really love doing it. I REALLY LOVE DOING ITT

I realize that the cure to feeling like you're not enough, is to lean into your own strength. What you can offer/do is a big deal to someone else who is struggling with that problem.

Thank you for sharing Dim.

Because it felt normal, I assumed it wasn’t special.

Right post at the right time when I have criticised myself more on not having anything to show for really but in hindsight the problem is that I have normalised brushing off the things that do come to me easily...

Thank you

Yikes, I really may’ve been on this bad habit longer than I previously realised.

Thank you for this.

Question though: How does one then stay humble while one is at it?
