Self-confidence really does come from saying, here's who I am, I like who I am, I know my values, I know my virtues, and I'll be authentic. And there are very few people who really are comfortable with who they are, especially in this world of social media and a culture of comparison right now. So many people are trying to be like their heroes. So many people are really uncomfortable not fitting in. And I'm gonna repeat that one again. because it's so important. So few people are really comfortable not fitting in. How can you change the world if you have this deep need to fit in? And so doing the work required to access your human greatness, reconnect with who you truly are, will give you much more self-confidence. So you believe in yourself when no one believes in yourself until you get so good at what you do that everyone believes in you. You know, I think the greatest crime a human being can commit is the crime of self-betrayal. And the less the true part of you you express, the less you're going to love yourself. The greater the gap between who you truly are and the person you are every day in the world, the less your life is going to work. Because you're committing the fundamental crime a human being commit, which is the crime of self-betrayal. You're dishonoring your values. You're ignoring your gifts. You're not being who you are. You know what makes a great musician? He or she honors their unique voice. Every musician starting out copies their heroes. But the great musicians get to a place where they know the rules so they can break the rules. I think of Miles Davis. Miles Davis copied Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie until he got so good at what he did, he trusted his own voice and he created a whole new syncopation, whole new rhythm. that disrupted the field, but it made the world call him a genius. Well, I think that's what happens to most people. They follow their heroes, but they don't trust their own voice. And so what starts to happen is there's this great gap of integrity. When you are in integrity, you are being true to who you are, even if you're an army of one, even if the world thinks you're crazy. So you want to close the gap between your social self and your true self. who you are every day and the way you live is true to you. What that does is it grows self-love. That's why the second benefit of doing this work to reclaim your human greatness is you'll just love yourself more. And is self-love important? Absolutely. Because if you really loved yourself, then you'd only put out your magic in terms of your work. If you really loved yourself, you'd only be around people who honored you and celebrated you for who you truly are. If you really loved yourself, you wouldn't put poisons into your body. If you really loved yourself, then you would treat people in such a way that never caused you to dislike yourself. Like when you treat someone poorly, you're not only treating that other person poorly, you're reducing your own self-esteem because your conscience sees everything that you're doing. Do you know how toxic it is for yourself to mistreat another person, it makes you feel shameful, it makes you feel disrespected, it makes you feel bad. So when you love yourself, you do better work, you eat better, when you love yourself, you install the habits of mastery, when you love yourself, you treat people with civility and politeness, when you love yourself, you don't give up on your mighty mission, when you love yourself, you celebrate your ambitions, when you love yourself, you walk yourtalk and you speak with your voice and you Trust your innovation and you honor your creativity. Self-love is a huge generating force of world class.
