What You Critique, Others Envy

We all have things that we don’t like about ourselves. Our teeth, our height, that we don’t deadlift more, we wish we were funnier, better looking, faster, more successful, harder working, more popular. In fact, I bet you can name three things to me that you dislike about yourself faster than three things that you like. A shame that most of us are this way.

But consider the very real likelihood that the things about you that you aren’t busy completely self scrutinizing are very likely things that others admire in you greatly. Envy, in fact. We are ruthlessly hard on ourselves. So, if you have three or four things about yourself that you think are positive, then it’s a pretty safe bet that others probably perceive them as highly desirable.

You posses enviable traits. I’d like to nudge you towards realizing them.
