because you feel that you’re
0:03
always behind the curve
0:05
in terms of abilities or your studies,
0:08
your love life
0:09
resembles a deserted cafe,
0:12
or you do not feel too thrilled
0:14
when you look in the mirror.

Whatever is causing you to feel inferior,
0:46
listen closely because I want you
0:49
to understand something profound.
0:52
You’re not defined by
0:54
your social status,
0:55
your looks,
0:56
or your academic journey.
0:58
You are so much more than that.
1:01
Not being a straight-A student
1:02
or having a university degree
1:04
does not make you less intelligent.
1:07
Not looking like you just walked out
1:09
of a fashion magazine,
1:10
does not make you less attractive.
1:13
Not being able to work a room
1:15
and socialise effortlessly
1:17
does not make you less interesting.
1:20
What truly matters
1:22
lies deep inside our soul.
1:24
The beauty of it all is that
1:26
our character, our talents, our strengths
1:29
can shine so much brighter
1:31
if we focus on those.
1:34
The secret to overcoming inferiority
1:37
is to accept yourself as you are.
1:41
Personally,
1:42
I have a long battle with eczema.
1:44
If I had focused on those
1:46
oozing wounds, bumpy skin
1:48
and skin deep ugliness,
1:50
I would have become an expert
1:53
in feeling sorry for myself.
1:55
Instead, I accepted my condition
1:58
and learned that it’s something
1:59
I need to manage.
2:01
I refocus my energy
2:03
on my inner strengths and
2:05
the impact I can make instead.
2:07
It is not easy.
2:09
It takes a lot of determination
2:11
and battle with doubts.
2:13
Well, if anything good came out of it,
2:16
I have developed pretty thick skin
2:18
over the years.
2:19
The great news is
2:21
you too have the determination,
2:23
the courage and strength
2:25
to fight your inferiority demons
2:27
and win them.
2:28
If you experience
2:30
a deep feeling of inferiority,
2:33
challenge those negative thoughts
2:35
you have about yourself.
2:37
How do you think those beliefs
2:39
you have about yourself
2:41
is affecting your personal
2:43
or professional life?
2:46
What do you need to
2:47
accept about yourself?
2:50
What strengths and talents you possess
2:52
that you may not be giving yourself credit for?
2:56
Remember, you are exceptional.
2:58
Embrace your unique self
3:00
and let your light shine.
3:03
This world is waiting for your incredible
3:05
contributions that only you can make.
