About this episode

Ryan Stewman discusses the importance of self-awareness and competing against your true self rather than external perceptions.

One of the biggest myths about most people is they think they know themselves. When I say, "know," I mean TRULY know themselves. We're all guilty of it. While I'm not a fan of therapists, they would even tell you that you don't know the true YOU. Out here on this planet, we wear masks. We conceal our fears, doubts, and create this imaginative "enemy" or competition in our heads. It's the biggest waste of time and we're all guilty of it. If you want to compete against anyone, compete against yourself. Compete against the person you were yesterday. How are you showing up today? Are you better or worse? Were you a good spouse? A great friend, parent, employee/business owner? Did you show up as the truest version of yourself or did you put on a mask and hide yourself from the world? The best thing you can do to compete in this world is to unravel the person that is truly you. Compete with that person. At the core, who you truly are is better than who you are showing the world. Be you. And you'll have a life most people won't believe.
