We are always taught to be humble.
If you have too much confidence, people may begin to dislike you or think you’re cocky.
However, I believe there are times when we are overly humble, to the point where we hesitate to fully utilize our skills and gifts. We may have talents that surpass others’, but we are hesitant to embrace them fully. This often leads to imposter syndrome.
However, in reality, you are genuinely talented. You may actually be the best at what you do or better than your peers. If that’s the case, embrace it.
All the greats in any field became great because they had self-worth and knew they were exceptional. They consistently proved this time and again, whether in sports, academics, arts, language, or any other domain.
Don’t be excessively humble. Own your talents and unique advantages and utilize them to the fullest.
You are the best.
And if you currently aren’t the best, have the confidence and work ethic to believe that one day you will be.
Stay humble, but not excessively so. Don’t aim to compete—aim to dominate.
