The Cost Of Not Believing In Yourself @TheDiaryOfACEO

big mistake a lot of people don't

realize which is if you do really well

and you don't believe in yourself you

don't become secure a lot of people

think that becoming secure is about

being successful that's not the case if

you're really successful you don't end

up with security you end up with

impostor syndrome so I went to Tufts for

medical school and I did my residency

training at Harvard and what I saw is

that the more successful you become that

increases the rate of impostor syndrome

there's way more impostor syndrome at

Harvard than there is at the University

of Texas there's way more impostor

syndrome at a place like Goldman Sachs

than there is at Bank of America so lots

of success actually creates this idea

that everyone else is so much better

than me so we see actually lots of

success leads to impostor syndrome

confidence doesn't come from success it

comes from surviving failure it's also

far more internal so it's not something

that anyone else gives you it's like

when you believe in yourself then you're

confident and then the beautiful thing

is that once you believe in yourself

then other people can think whatever

they want to about you
