It's not you, It's who you think you are not!
He didn’t even realize he was doing it.
Every time someone praised him, he brushed it off.
“You’re a great dad.”
“Eh, I’m just doing my best.”
“You crushed that presentation.”
“Yeah, but I stumbled on slide three.”
“You’ve got what it takes to lead this.”
“I’m not there yet.”
He thought he was being real.
Grounded. Humble.
But what he was really doing
Was reinforcing a quiet story in the back of his mind—
Not about who he is…
But about who he thinks he’s not.
Not successful enough.
Not smart enough.
Not strong enough.
Not ready.
It wasn’t true.
But when you tell yourself something long enough,
It starts to feel like fact.
Here’s the truth:
It’s not who you are that holds you back.
It’s who you think you’re not.
Stop underestimating yourself.
Stop apologizing for existing.
You don’t need to become someone else.
You need to remember who you already are.
