A speaker challenges you to stop blaming intelligence, race, gender, or weight for holding you back. The real obstacle is self-doubt. Others succeed not because they're inherently better, but because they work harder. The question is whether you'll do the same.
What are the things that you've held yourself back from because you think that you aren't smart enough, that you aren't physically capable of doing because of your weight, your race, your sex, your religion, or whatever? Ask yourself if those are really the issue or is it something more? Are the other people who are getting the job, the accolades, the this, the that, having more, being more, doing more, is it because they're actually putting the effort forward? Are you really seeing the comparative difference or are you allowing your own baggage to stand in your way of taking yourself to the next level.
