Thoughts of the Week: October 6, 2023
Stop being humble. Own your worth.
I’ve said it before: there is no benefit to being humble.
You know who you are, what you can do - why would you shy away from this? It doesn’t make you a jerk to be comfortable and confident in your own abilities, and your own skin.
Remember that there’s a difference between confidence and arrogance. Humility leads people to confuse the former with the latter, and — instead of helping them grow — it often keeps people small.
Humility can lead so many people to hiding themselves away, keeping their head down, waiting for others to recognize their abilities…and usually end up watching as people who are “less talented” lap them time and time again.
If you want other people to recognize your worth, start by owning it for yourself.
