Learn Self Acceptance Self Confidence By Letting Go Of Ego & Being Yourself

The weight of carrying a false identity, constructed from insecurity and ego can be overwhelming. Everyone already sees you for who you are and has chosen to accept or reject you. Show up as who you are. You have nothing to prove. This is the path to true self confidence. Love yourself and accept that you are perfectly imperfect.

This was originally filmed during Epicurrence Winter Work Week 2018.

I don't know about all people but this thing is deep and if you understand and master it. You can be the best version of yourself for rest of the life.

[callumgriffith]

Why does it always feel like these videos are tailor-made for where I am in life.

[rahulbhogal]

This is soul cleansing! Man I can't tell you how many times I avoid speaking or engaging with people because I have this self built fear of saying something invaluable. I feel like this is still a work in progress for me, so thank you for this.
Jordan Peterson said something amazing in one of his videos, "the willingness to being a fool is a precursor to transformation".

[BenjaminIMeszaros]

Caring more about other people is the easiest way to gain confidence

[jdt]

That and it's always comforting to know nobody cares about the things you're insecure about but you. Everyone else is absorbed into their own realities

[tekua]

That line "Everybody is already okay with who you are" was great and made so much sense. Like, duh, any "mask" or front I put up isn't fooling people. Same way I can tell when others are putting on a "mask". Awesome strategy to just focus on how to serve the person or people you're interacting with rather than focusing on our egos. Great video.

[heidigfx]

once you are comfortable with who you are, you start to attract the right crowd for you.
on a less related topic, I was just reading about the Dunning–Kruger effect... also about self-image and performance.

[ashrock]

You can’t change your external factors always but can mould your inner self and be content with what you are. Love these type of videos from you Chris.

[mirelacotaga]

"I do sound terrible, but I already sound terrible to everybody, and they're okay with that" this is what did it for me

[mfeagirlxx]

This is exactly what I needed at this moment. Your channel has been a game changer for me ever since I discovered it!

[flairsensemedicine]

Man you dont sound terrible. When you speak, it soothes my heart for some reason

[YogiLab]

When the people that matters accepts you for who you are, it will help you find your way to self-acceptance

[shauntitus]

Yeah like for example right, whenever I am being my real self right, thats where people would scare me and disturb me but when I am being my fake self, thats where they won't disturb me. So weird. Especially my family.

[ArchieDeZ]

this is something i can relate to. i'm introvert and i do have same problem, just i'm still studying. but i know i'm always be myself, though more likely "my own pace". and to know that "Everyone already sees you for who you are" really open something new for me today.

[heenaverma]

This video is a pure gem. I can feel that anxiety of being in such rooms filled with talented people and have absolutely nothing to share. Being an introvert it's hard to find voice in writing as well. So one can imagine how worse things can be when you have to phase something physically. But I keep boosting myself and practicing such good suggestions. 🙏

[effvc]

Looking back on it, how much you have been able to transform, that is what is so inspirational to me and so many others. Makes me feel like I can do that. If it came naturally to you like it did for Jose, I don't think you'd have as powerful of a story or connect as deeply with many of us here. That in and of itself is incredibly motivating.

[janeo]

Video worth replaying when one is down or lost

[andreclark]

I have been stuck in my own head and stressing about how to act and what to say for a preflight/portfolio review event tomorrow. As a first year Graphic design student who stutters, this video was exactly what I needed to hear at the right time. Thank you Chris Do. This helped bring me peace.

[CodeKwento]

Two things.. Self-awareness and self-acceptance. Master that and you can face the world.

[ForeverDansky]

Great video Chris! Thanks for sharing, really resonated with me and it’s good to know it’s totally normal to feel like that 🤟
