Act like your version 2.0
Your being changes your action, your action changes your result.
Dear Fit Rich,
When did you last think “I am not good enough”?
Last Sunday, I applied to speak at TED Talks in Hong Kong. It has long sat on my wish list, and I finally plucked up the courage to apply!
Looking at the speaker list from last year, there was the director of the leading ballet group, the advisor of the FemTech association, and the medical doctor. I couldn’t help but ask myself - “Am I qualified?” Very often, you compare yourself with others based on society's standards. It is how the majority assesses your market value during job interviews or dating - by where you study, which company you work and how much you earn.
It is usually how people think about their values - using external evidence to prove their worth. It is an outside-in thinking. Because of this mindset, many folks got stuck.
“Because I don’t have ________, so I am not good enough. Therefore, I shouldn’t do this.”
But this thinking has its flaws.
If you think that you need to have an egg to prove that you are a sexy hot chicken, does that mean you are not sexy when you haven’t produced an egg yet?
WRONG.
You are sexy just the way you are.
Because YOU ARE SEXY, you attract the right opportunity.
This strong belief gives you a greater chance to produce an egg (aka the triumph and trophy the society looks for).
Your being determines how far you can go.
Not praises, prize or prestige, but who you are.
The good news is - YOU CAN BE ANYTHING!
When you believe in yourself, you behave differently. You think, speak and act like your end self. Your result (eggs) rolls in.
Instead of thinking outside in, think inside out.
Some may ask, “But how can I believe in myself when I have not yet been?”
It is a matter of choice.
You can either choose to believe in yourself or not.
When you have a choice, why don’t you choose a side that helps you?
I constantly choose to believe in myself.
Life is more interesting when you hold a belief, put in an effort and see small wins, rather than thinking you are only limited to a level and can grow no more.
So I applied for TED Talks. I shared it on social media to celebrate the first step. I send this message to the universe so it receives my intention and sprinkles its magic.
Once the belief is set, set your actions. Ask yourself:
What is your version 2.0?
What can you do now to land on that version faster?
Ruby 2.0 spoke on the TED Talks stage about how to conquer stage fright, by seeing it as playing a mobile game.
She applied for TED Talks. (I did it!)
She watched more TED Talks related to her genre. (I am doing)
She practised her speech at her public speaking club. (I am going to do)
When you constantly show up for your dream, your dream becomes your reality.
When your desire is strong enough, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Act like your version 2.0.
Your being changes your action, your action changes your result.
