Summary

Funny thing about competence. With rare exception, we so often look at others and think they've got it so much more together than us.

They're more skilled, smarter, more established, more connected, better able to do the thing we most want to do.

Except, it's almost always a lie.

We're all in that same "looking at the person ahead of us and wishing" boat. Thinking someday we'll get there. Or, maybe giving up and wondering how do we just be okay being okay.

When we determine our own self-worth, happiness or sense of fulfillment in comparison to others, we always lose. Because we're comparing our insides to their outsides. And, even if we knew their insides, they're not us.

So, here's the thing.

This day. This moment. We ARE enough. You Are Enough.

That's what this week's short and sweet GLP Riff is all about. And, it's a response to a listener email we recently received.

0:25.8	With the accolades and experiences to back you up, I noticed that those with a big
0:29.8	following, your peers in the online world were also super smarty pants in school, graduating
0:34.3	in top of their classes too.
0:36.5	I'm smart.
0:37.5	There's no doubt yet.
0:38.7	I wasn't at the tippy top of my class.
0:40.6	My writing is good, but nowhere near as profound as yours, which means my mind isn't
0:44.6	as profound.
0:46.0	What advice do you have for people who are smart, but not necessarily genius to create
0:49.9	a tribe like you have done?
0:51.7	I'm looking for a new perspective on this.
0:53.4	I don't know that I'll ever have the profound wisdom you seem to embody, which means my
0:57.4	stuff isn't really going to stand out from the crowd.
1:00.2	And I'm so bad at the social media game, I can't rely upon that to generate a tribe.
1:04.7	I fear I'll be forced into slimy marketing tactics because I don't have the brain it
