Dean Graziosi talks about his dyslexia and why comparing your weaknesses to someone else's strengths kills your confidence. He argues you should focus on developing your own unique gifts instead.
I'm really horrible at a lot of things. That's a true story. I still— my dyslexia is still strong. It's still hard for me to read. It's still hard for me to spell. If I compared myself to someone who could read fast and articulate, use big words and spell perfectly, I'm pathetic. I'm a loser. But that's not how I compare myself. I know I have my gifts. They're a small little lane, but those small little lane of my gifts allows me to have more success than I've ever dreamed of. So don't underestimate yourself. Don't focus on what's wrong with you. Don't focus on where you fail. Don't focus on your weaknesses. We all have them. We've all failed. If you focus on what's wrong, it robs your confidence and you never have the ability to get amazing at what you're already good at.
