Short motivational clip by Dr. Aziz arguing that lasting confidence comes from repeatedly leaning into discomfort. He emphasizes consistency: performing uncomfortable actions regularly produces self-assuredness as a byproduct, rather than relying on fluctuating external circumstances.
If you are not willing to be uncomfortable you will never have lasting confidence. Your circumstances might improve by good fortune. And then you say oh great I feel good today. Then your circumstances might get worse, didn't degrade due to, you know, bad fortune. And you say oh man I feel terrible today. That person liked me. That person didn't like me. She said yes. She said no. The boss said I was smart. Haha the boss said I was stupid. Ugh right. And you're just lollipop and up and down lollipopping. I stand by it. It's confidence right? So what do you do, what do you create? What effect you have on the world all comes from leaning into that discomfort. So the only way, the one way to build confidence is to consistently, that word is key. Consistently do the things that make you uncomfortable in order to have a byproduct of confidence, self assuredness and all that you want.
