A short YouTube monologue (August 14, 2023, uploaded by Mark Evans DM) urging people to invest in their own growth and align their self-worth with their achievements. The speaker uses a Taylor Swift example and direct-address rhetorical questions to argue that personal competition is with oneself and that one must 'recreate a new movie' to match rising worth.
I see so many great people live so below their means because they don't invest in themselves. It's so simple to do. Just look around this room. You got Taylor Swift down the street. Everyone's lined up. They're bragging about taking their kids, their wife, their grandkids, and all this. Why isn't this room filled up? That's a real problem. Don't you guys see the problem? And then you guys are talking about competition. There ain't no competition. The competition is you in the mirror. Your self worth that you're looking back and forth is the reason why you're not where you want to be. Your self worth hasn't caught up to where your work has to catch up with your new self worth, you have to recreate a new movie. That's what I had to do.
