Summary

I was recently at an event and my mind was blown open when I realized this one simple truth: None of us are special. Annnnnd – that means we are all equally capable of doing great things. Those people you put on a pedestal - the heroes in your life – they all have struggles. They all have insecurities and doubts. They all fear failure. They all make mistakes. They all fall flat on their faces sometimes. And this is a good thing. It means we are all the same. While no one is special, we are all unique. No one can ever be more you than YOU. Which means no matter what you do, it will never be the same as anyone else and you can make it as big and bold and badass as you want. There is no reason to hold anything back. Listen in to learn how to be more YOU by: Identifying and pursuing your own interests Learn from people those who inspire you Identifying commonalities between you and the people you admire most instead of differences Identifying your zones of genius Starting passion projects that are just for you Diving into your story and embracing its impact on your life Links Mentioned: Podcast: School of Greatness interview with Lewis Howes and Shaun T Thank you to our sponsors: Canvas People: To get a FREE 11x14 canvas print (just pay shipping) of any of your photos, go to Canvas People and use the code SHAMELESS at checkout.
