This is a short spoken reflection by Dean Graziosi about how chronic self-comparison held him back and how his life changed when he stopped comparing himself to others and fully committed to being himself. He contrasts his past envy of extroverts and confident on-camera personalities with the decision to embrace his authentic self.
Over time. I wish someone told me this. People just want the version of you. When I used to get in my head, it was when I compared myself to possibly an extrovert, somebody who would walk in a room and light up the room and be communicating and know this person and know that person. It's like, God, I wish I could be them. Or I'd watch somebody on camera that felt like they had so much confidence and so much charisma, and I'm like, ah, I can't do that. I'm shy. And every time I had comparison, it would set me back. And then I'd have to work through it and work through it. The day my life changed, and this is an absolute fact, is when I stopped comparing myself to others and realize I'm just going to be me to the extreme.
