A short motivational talk by Louis Massaro (YouTube) about identifying and leveraging personal strengths to reach new levels of success. Massaro uses conversational, supportive language and a video-game metaphor to describe stepping into uncomfortable, unfamiliar levels of growth, trusting the process, and persisting until breakthrough occurs.
You've got strengths, and if you can't say it for yourself, imagine somebody that loves you, that you're asking them, what are my strengths? And they say to you, well, you're really good at this and you're really good at that. Right? If you've ever had somebody that supports you in your life, you know, turn around, my wife will tell me, but you're really great at this. And I'm like, yeah, you know, you're right. Because whenever we're pushing this room, we're pushing ourselves to go to the next level. And when you do that, you're going to be uncomfortable at the next level, you. You know, because it's foreign territory. When you begin to trust in the process of. I'll figure it out. I know I got to this level and it was hard, and I figured it out, and I got to that level and it's hard, and I figured it out. And just recognize that that's where you're at. And every time you step up to that new level, it's hard. You know, kind of like I think about video games back in the day. Like, you know, you get to the next level of Zelda or whatever, like, and you. I'm going, I'm dating myself. But you get to that one, and it's hard. You can't break through, and then you finally break through, and then that one's easy.
