Hello Friend,
This idea might sound weird to you but take a look at this perspective.
This statement is repeated & discussed by successful people to the point of sickness 👇 "If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room". Let me confess, I spent most of my life thinking that- > I need to be the best in the room. > I had to prove to people that I knew more than them > I was self-obligated to win every argument > I was playing the game alone > I was caught up in my ego thinking that my success will come only from my personal talents & abilities.
I’m sure many of you would resonate with me because that’s how we’ve been conditioned. 🙆♀️I can’t tell you how I regret doing all this for years. I’m glad that now I choose to be in association with those who are more talented, more knowledgeable & more experienced than me. And I’m open to learning & implementing all the Gyan I gather from them. WHY? Because growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum - it happens when we accept the likelihood of failure and learn from the mistakes and successes of others. What happens when you surround yourself with talented people 👇 1- You feel uncomfortable & that’s how you start pushing your limits to reach your potential 2- You get challenged for the narrative you created for yourself (which could be wrong). 3- You witness different perspectives from their experiences which you could have never gained. 4- You learn things you might never consider learning otherwise. 5- You make lesser mistakes because you learn from their failures. You can either choose ✅To feed your ego & be with people who make you feel good
Or
❌You can be with those who challenge you to beat your best. 👉Let me remind you: PROXIMITY TO POWER IS POWER Hanging out with successful people will one day make you successful because someday they were the dumbest in the room. ✅ I would rather hang out with goldmines than ash heaps. Take a little time out & look around your room. Are you the dumbest?
If Not, then it's time you find such a room.
Will you?
To your Brand's Success Sakshi Chandraakar
