A short motivational YouTube video by Dr. Aziz warning that habitually focusing on personal shortcomings destroys confidence. He argues that concentrating on what’s missing in yourself leads to more self-consciousness and withdrawal, and recommends shifting attention to actions you’re doing well, self-appreciation, and connecting with others as if you are already enough.
This one bad habit will kill your confidence. No matter how popular you are, how beautiful or rich you are, how many people love you on social media, here's what it is. You are focusing on. Where you think you're falling short, where you think that you're not enough. You say if I focus on what's missing about me, well then I'll be motivated, then I'll try harder, then I'll fix it. But you know, no matter how hard you focus on it, no matter how hard you try to fix it, it just keeps seeming like there's something missing in you. And then you feel a little more headset and a little more shy, a little more self conscious. So no, you hold back. Okay, I gotta fix myself more. And the cycle can continues. The key is to shift your focus to what you're doing well, what actions you're taking, what you appreciate about yourself. And then forget about fixing all the problems with yourself because there's always going to be more problems. And get out there and just start connecting as if you already are enough. And you'll realize there's more than enough opportunity, more than enough humans that love you without you being perfect.
