[00:00:00]Why is it hard for people to recognize their own strengths when they feel insecure?

[00:00:04]>> Because when you're feeling insecure, you're hyper-focused on what you lack.

[00:00:09]And it's really hard to focus on what you do have. And a lot of the times, our strengths are so natural to us that we don't view them as strengths cuz to us it's just a normal aspect of us.

[00:00:20]And so we don't view it that way. And so when we're in a place of insecurity, we're usually in a place of focusing only on the negative, which makes it even more difficult to focus on the positive.
