It’s always seemed to me that there’s a certain juncture in each of our lives where it becomes impossible to judge ourselves honestly, accurately, and with self-assurance.
Kids are open about every little thing, sometimes to a fault, as we saw with these brutally honest youngsters. Adults, on the other hand, seem to have hard time looking themselves in the eye and calling a spade a spade.
For women, signs point to a characteristic drop in self-confidence that arrives with puberty — which these brave little girls are working against every day — but it’s not obvious what factor, overall, makes adults cagey about confidence.
Now let me be clear: We aren’t bad at pointing out our own flaws and weaknesses — but we grown-ups, as a group, are way too hard on ourselves when it comes to pointing out the reasons that we’re successful, thriving, and worthy.We may be hitting every benchmark and milestone around, but we often don’t see our own achievements even as they stare us right in the face.
This telling video from A+ asks a group of adults to rate their level of success on a scale of one to 10. Then, they asked a loved one to come on-screen, and rate the same person, but from their perspective. What they had to say truly blew me away.
If this video made you reevaluate your own sense of success, please SHARE on Facebook for everyone who needs a reminder that they, too, have achieved more than they may have realized!
