Good morning, Believe Nation! Today's message is: Don't worry about others.
Over to you, Carlos Slim Helú.
I wake up every morning with espresso to keep me going. Success is not being recognized by others. It is not about an external opinion. It is about an internal state of being. It is the harmony between the soul and our emotions that are fed by love, family, friendship, authenticity, and honesty. The fundamental and permanent values that are far superior to professional, economical, social, or political success.
I think not worrying about what others or what others think of you is like a huge thing for your life. What others think of you or what you think others think of you can really put a damper or limit you in what you want to do. So like if, for example, your thing is like vlogging and you have to carry a camera around like you do, like to shoot a vlog, and you're thinking about like what other people on the street are gonna be like, "Look at this guy with a camera, what is he doing?" You're never gonna do that, right? So same thing goes for like, like being at the gym, for example. You go to a public gym and maybe you think that other people are more fit than you and you have no place being there, so you're never gonna go to the gym, right? So I think you shouldn't really care about what others think, and that way you can, I guess, do what you want to do and express your talents to their fullest.
Yeah, I love that. And actually, talking about doing the videos, that was the hardest thing for me to get used to. Yeah, was just walking on the street and knowing there's somebody coming, I'm like, "Oh, shut down the camera." Wait for them to go and then film it up again. And I think it just comes from practice. I think people often, you know, you're here, you want to be here and you want to take this big leap, but it's too scary and there's too many people who might judge you. And I find for most people to make that leap, it's like small steps, small steps, small steps. And the first video I did outside, I did like making sure there was nobody around me. And then the next one, you know, there was somebody far in the distance in, so I tried to wrap it up really quickly, and then he heard me and whined like, "Okay, I'm just gonna do it," and somebody was walking by me, and some people turn around and like, "What's happening?" and some people don't care and just go on with their lives. But I think just from practice you get the incremental gains, and with that practice you stop caring as much about what other people think, and I agree, I think if you base your life based on other people's opinions, you're always gonna hold yourself back and you won't recognize your natural talents.
Yep. So the question of the day today is: Name one incident where you if you did worry about others and how did you get over it?
Thank you guys so much for watching. Have an amazing day. Continue to believe. And we'll see you again tomorrow morning for another shot of espresso.
Don't worry about what— what is it?
It's good, man.
Over to you, Carlos Slim Helu. Was that the name? Thank God.
Yeah, that was good.
I was like, in my head I was just like typing it out. Carlos. Okay, okay.
