I want you to write this quote down.

If you have a problem that can be solved with action, you don't have a problem.

So a lot of us talk about the problems that we have, but they're actually not problems.

We're stuck in one of the traps of self-doubt.

Yeah. we're stuck in one of the traps of self-doubt. Welcome back to the quarter of the day show.

I'm your host, Sean Croxon and Sean Croxon.com.

We got Mel Robbins back on this show today. She is going to share the myths and the truths about confidence.

And my favorite quote from this clip is this, if you have a problem that can be solved with action, you don't have a problem.

That is so true. If you have a problem right now, you know that, okay, I can make this problem go

away by taking uncomfortable action. You don't have a problem. You have an opportunity for growth.

You have an opportunity to go through some struggle, do some stuff that makes you feel it uncomfortable.

And then when you get to the other side of it, you're better than you were before.

It's the struggle, Napoleon Hill is going to talk about this tomorrow.

It's the struggle that makes you stronger.

So if you can do something about it and make you go away, just go ahead and do it.

It's not a problem.

Another thing that I really enjoyed about this clip is when she's talking about

the connection between developing competence or developing skills and your level of confidence.

It reminds me of Booker T. Washington. He always talked about the spirit of usefulness, right? You don't want to go through

life feeling absolutely useless. You want to feel like you have some purpose. You want to feel

like there's something that you can bring into the world, right, that you can help other people

with. And so developing skills makes you feel useful. It makes you feel like, yeah, I can do something, right? I have some impact here. But if you don't have any skills and you don't have any real competence and mastery at anything, you can kind of get into this kind of nihilistic state of mind where it's like, what's the point? Because there's nothing that you're bringing. There's no value that you're bringing into the world as valuable as you are like inherently and innately. There's no real value that you're bringing into other people.
