YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE: How to unlock your true potential and become your most successful self

So many of us are held back by the difficulty of overcoming failure, but what if we were never failures to begin with? This video is something I wish I had seen when I was struggling with feelings of failure at stages in my life, so I hope it helps in fighting the fear of failure and overcoming set backs so we can continue to become the most successful versions of ourselves 🫶🏼

I really struggle with comparison, but not in terms of unrealistic expectations but rather comparison with others in terms of what’s possible. This particularly was evident in university; I saw friends of mine took part in many societies and graduated with firsts even with prizes. But as for me, I graduated with an empty 2:2. Then I started seeing these friends and subsequently other KZbinrs like yourself who seemed to have done what’s possible with KZbin and succeeded in their degrees. Since then, I viewed university as a traumatic experience that have placed a scar for life, always reminding me of my failures, and was on a depressive rollercoaster I feel all I have to do is to try and make up for what I couldn’t do.

One thing I wish I'd realised sooner is that there is so much more to life than grades and a university degree. There are so many other skillsets to have, so many other ways to feel achieved, and so much more to learn that isn't necessarily 'academia'. Find what makes you happy and roll with it!

As opposed to attracting success, you have to become success 7:13 . Kinda like when Alex Hormozi said "Don't do your best, do what is necessary". In order to become success, you have to educate yourself, put yourself in uncomfortable situations, learn how to leverage the people around you , and learn how to turn defeats into victories (AKA resilience). Finally, what would a successful person do?

I went on a date for Sunday brunch this morning, at the end of the day I have mixed feelings about what happened today. I feel like my ADHD takes over the date at some point. For example, I was making eye contact at the beginning and she was reciprocating that but then I got tired or too excited too maintain that throughout our interaction. All I remember was thousand thoughts racing my mind at one point. Also, I get tired of speaking too, it happens at work too. I feel like a failure after all this.

[@humzahjan1249]

What would you consider to be the criteria that characterizes validating the progress of realistic goals, on an incrementally planned basis, in order to avoid semi-success and pursue the long-term vision of yourself, to become successfully adapted? Great video,btw!

[@AbbeyRobinss]

I'm not quite sure I understand the question, but I would validate the progress of realistic goals but turning the goals into smaller tasks that can be ticked off as you go and allow you to assess where you are at. Thank you!

[@oioio-yb9dw]

Funnily enough I am guilty of all the things you mentioned ai shouldn't do.

[@SlimHandle]

I saw your video on your monthly expenses as a management consultant and your expenses list is impressive at 22. Your expenses exceed my monthly income by 0.1-0.3k and im a 31 year old working in IT. What do you think about my career and what would you advise?

[@AbbeyRobinss]

I don't think I have the expertise to advise on this just yet but my approach would be to go for what makes you happy, if you love your job then maybe the salary doesn't matter as much, but if you are money driven and not happy with your current salary then you could explore other opportunities in your field.

[@Peacewithuniverse]

Really needed this at the moment 🥹 thank you abbey ❤

[@AbbeyRobinss]
