The Value of You Begins With a Simple Realization
The correlation between your existence and your confidence — and what it all means.
Everyone in your ecosystem is the same in most ways.
We have different heights, of course. Some male, some female. All of us go to the bathroom in the same way, and all of us clean our bottoms. At some point, all our lives end.
The difference between you and those who society places above you is perception.
Building confidence in yourself is the thought experiment in which every problem in your life has an array of solutions. More importantly, it’s the confirmation that those solutions don’t require nervousness or anxiety.
Successful people grown from the bottom by themselves have this. Because, along the curve of existence, they learned quicker than the rest how to adapt and survive.
Society places a lot of value in the idea of self-made individuals. The reason for this is obvious: They relate better. You think to yourself that one day this person could be you. And you’re right. This person could be you.
Why doesn’t the rich person who came from rich parents matter as much?
