This is a YouTube video titled "Overcoming the messy middle" containing a monologue or talk recorded on October 2, 2023, discussing the psychological challenges high achievers face with self-doubt and the continuous pursuit of goals. The speaker reflects on the 'if then' mindset that traps many successful individuals in a cycle of feeling never enough, emphasizing the complexity of motivation and achievement.
Oh, and honestly, the messy middle has kept me blocked for so long and me feeling like, oh my gosh, I'm never going to get there. As soon as I get there, as soon as I get there, then, then I'm this, then I'll share, then I'll do, then I'll whatever. It's the if then continuum that I feel like keeps so many high achievers trapped. I can't tell you how many successful, really smart, successful coaches who have been exponential in helping their or have been that are they're just truly extraordinary talents in getting their clients results. They never feel like they're enough. There's this arbitrary chase, there's this arbitrary moving the goal post that perpetuates high achievers to continue to achieve. And that's awesome. I never want to take away that gap. I never want to take away the, the desire for more for the next step.
