How is it possible to have $100M and still feel middle class?

Most of us have a hard time perceiving the truth of how far we’ve come or what we’re capable of. We forget that we’ve already beaten the odds, simply by being alive. And we waste time wishing for what other people have and questioning their qualifications.

On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re discussing the role comparison plays in perceiving ourselves as less than we actually are.

We explain how to build new beliefs by thinking through what you’ve already done, challenging you to break the habit of comparing yourself to what other people are doing.

Listen in to understand why people question and attack others when they’re hurting and learn what to do if your current self-perception isn’t helping you grow!
