Like wishing for confidence without competence is just delusion.
matched
You have no evidence to say that you can do this thing.
matched
Yeah, for sure.
matched
I mean, you don't really realize it's just life.
matched
And then you learn a little bit more about yourself and you start to realize, well, look at all of the ways that I've had to compensate for that.
matched
Look at all of the ways that it's held me back.
matched
Look at all of the beliefs that I have about myself.
matched
And God, if only that hadn't happened, then I would be here or I would be there.
matched
Yeah.
matched
And then you realize, well, the light side of all of that dark stuff is usually the stuff that I'm most proud of myself for.
matched
So the fact that you were maybe a little bit alone in childhood means that you're very self-sufficient when you're an adult.
matched
Or the fact that you didn't have anybody to support you means that you have no concern about working on your own and continuing to take a bet on yourself, so on and so forth.
matched
So you end up having this really strange loop where you go from unconscious...
matched
incompetence in that you've somehow been through something that you really hate to this sort of awareness of how it's held you back to this awareness of how it's propelled you and then you have to get to this really difficult place which is okay so this is a thing that I kind of wish hadn't happened and yet I'm grateful that it did
matched
And it's like a psychological superposition that you need to hold in your head at the same time.
matched
You can't collapse it down into one.
matched
You need to hold both of these things.
matched
It's like, yeah, that shouldn't have happened.
matched
Like, I really wish that that... And had you have been able to see you, had you at 36 have been able to see you at 12, you'd have picked them up and given them a hug and said, I believe in you and you don't deserve this.
matched
But it needs to happen to you.
