Bea Creates there’s a huge difference between doubting yourself and the points he gave. For example - just because you always see yourself as the worst person in the room does not mean that you see yourself as bad at something - it just means you’re always willing to learn. You have to stay confident in your ability without developing an ego - meaning you always need to be able to point out your own failures, learn from them, and continue to move forward knowing that information. What people do too often is think that taking responsibility is the same thing is just doing something like calling yourself dumb or giving the easiest explanation that comes to mind, when in reality you have to analyze and you have to actually be WILLING TO BE WRONG

Hi Thomas, perhaps as a suggestion to improve your viewers’ retention of information -- at the end of the video presentation you could close by stating the key points (in this case the 4 key mindset hacks) or a put up a slide with the main points at the end maybe with a voiceover. I find that when I’m trying to learn new things I summarise the points (jot it down or make a mental note) and doing so increases the chances of me remembering it in the future! Then I look for ways to exercise the thing in my day to day life. Then teaching seals it in. 😆 Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into all your videos, they’re so valuable and I get excited every time you release a video. Wish you good cheer for the new year.

I’m still working on confronting harsh realities, but the other three have been dramatically life changing for me. Being the worst person in the room often leads to you being the best person in the room pretty much anywhere else you go. It helps you to grow and to be an expert in any other setting (which is pretty cool). I also had an issue where I was “never wrong”. I instead looked to see the merit behind others arguments and the book that really helped me with this was “Getting To Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In” by Roger Fisher and William Ury. I also was afraid of pursuing something or attempting something until I was 100% sure I could pull it off perfectly. This kept me from doing anything because you simply CAN’T be perfect at something if you’re too afraid to try.

I love all your tips. Being the worst one in the room is fantastic. It took me until my 40s to really believe that no one is paying any attention and things that I remember being embarrassed about are things no one else remembers at all. I still get embarrassed but I don't have any shyness about showing I don't know what I'm doing if I want to improve. Also, about your self-reflection advice, there's a quote by Robert Heinlein I like that I'll paraphrase: "I never learned anything from someone who agreed with me." I've had my mind changed many times (even politically if you can believe it!) by just listening carefully to people I respect when I think they are totally wrong...

maybe try not doing anything else until you do the work? it's something that I do like if I have a project to start on, I don't allow myself to look at my phone, write, read a book, not even eat until you do the thing. Realistically this lasts 1-10minutes of just sitting because you get into a self-awareness type mode. It's kind of like if you're really bored and don't know what to do, then you open up a book and start studying, within a minute your brain comes up with better things to do rather than study. So with starving yourself from activities until you start your project, your brain would much rather start the project than be bored.

I liked most of these. It is definitely the case that one's personality or world view affects whether these would be good or bad mindsets, though. I used to be totally addicted to entertainment media, especially video games. One of the things I most strongly noticed as an effect of this, especially when I quit playing, was that, whenever I messed up something, or just realized I hadn't been very productive that day, I would have a longing to hit the "reset" button so I could do my day over again. But real life does not work that way. There is no reset button. You don't get to take your words back after you wound someone. You don't get to hit "undo" when you mess up at work and get fired. And I was just making myself depressed by that thought process of wanting to start over and try again, because I knew I couldn't, and I'd feel like even more of a failure. I realize you meant this in a slightly different way, particularly in the realm of learning to do something new. I think the point you were making about being okay with not getting something perfect on the first try, but improving as you learn, is fine. I just find that video games aren't the best object lesson for this principle, at least for me. Of course, after overcoming that addiction, I wouldn't want to associate anything positive with video games anyway, so. But, on the positive side, I really liked number 3. This is, I think, most especially important when dealing with something negative about yourself. For example, if a friend tells you that you have a serious problem with being insensitive, you need to be willing to face the harsh reality that you might drive your friends away if you don't deal with your personality flaws. Another challenging example would be facing the harsh realization that someone dear to you has betrayed you, or has otherwise demonstrated that they are not trustworthy. Oh, and especially important for parents is facing the harsh reality of their children causing problems, rather than sweeping the evidence under the rug and pretending they're children are little angels because they can't face the truth that they have made serious mistakes in their parenting. Oh, how many major problems, especially in relationships, could be avoided by adopting this mindset! Number 4 was great, too. We all need more humility. Every single one of us. Very excellent, and I hope that you take this one especially deep into your heart. By which I mean, you don't just ask this question when dealing with basic facts or information, or even personal issues, but even with your fundamental worldview. It's very easy to think that we're fair and reasonable and humble when the things that our deepest assumptions have never been challenged. It's a good thing that you have been practising this for some time, as it is good training for when the really tough things come.

Just my opinion, the last point may undermine a person's confidence over time by constantly asking "where am i wrong" perhaps a more positive rephrase can be "have i done my best that i could in that situation?"

I have been watching your channel and content for 2 years now i find your videos very motivating and inspiring.....side note: i have to disagree with you on ' accepting that it is ok to be the worst person in the room means you will be able to compete to be better" my friend " accepting it is ok to be the worst person in the room means ypu will always be that , nothing more" i am speaking from personal experience but generally hating that spot motivates you to do better not accepting it by any means , at least that how i see it. Thank u for the great work , keep on

The last one! We lie to ourselves all the time and it closes our minds to others.
