You Don't Want To Be The Smartest Person In The Room | Ep. 211

I want to open up and share one of the most challenging lessons I've ever had to learn. 

It's a lesson I've had to relearn multiple times throughout my life because, to be honest…I'm a slow learner. 

There's something inside me that constantly struggles against this idea.

I’ve always had this desire to be perceived as confident, competent, and intelligent. 

Throughout my younger years and even into my 30s, this desire to be seen as intelligent led me into debates, correcting people…and sometimes even being a know-it-all. 

But there's a hard truth I had to come to terms with…there are no prizes given for being the smartest person in the room. 

I've realized that the rooms we want to be in are full of people smarter than us, not because we're inferior, but because we have so much to learn from them. 

So if you’re facing similar struggles that I did..know that you're not alone. 

Embrace discomfort, surround yourself with people who challenge your beliefs about yourself, and you'll find that you're capable of so much more than you ever imagined.
