This is a very interesting vlog. I think that when getting older we tend to loose this capacity of doing stuff that seems difficult or challenging. We underestimate our capacities and prefer to stay within our comfort zone. What you are doing with your comments is actually giving people a real feed-back and an encouragement to continue on their path. Self-confidence is the first step to gain and this will help to get out of the confort zone and to achieve something new. This is the key to evolve and to innovate. 

Great Vlog Zoltan @ph1102 we often underestimate our own abilities or even expect people to aim for more, a lot of it depends on the influences around us and often we can want more than people want for themselves.

I have told each of my children to decide based on their passions rather than what others want or expect from them at the end of the day, because they are the ones that have to live with the descisions they make, not me, my wife or anyone else.

We give them our advice when they want it, support them when they need it, and encourage them to have the confidence to explore their passions as well as new things.

You will never know if you like something, are good at something or want it to be what you do unless you have a go and sometimes we can discover new passions from exploring and learning new things.

Give it a go, give it a chance and believe in yourself, often we will surprise ourselves in the abilities we can achieve.

Love this story....Story Time with ph1102 is always enlightening :)

Yes, I think a lot of people underestimate themselves unfortunately. I think we all have the tendency to do that sometimes in some point of our lives. It's human nature. We are conditioned to "keep up with the Jonese" and even if we dare to do something out of the box, we risk being judged or even ridiculed in some cases....it isn't easy...

However, when we give in to those factors, we really are missing out on the potential we have..when we don't tap into it, we rob the world (and ourselves) of the gifts we can provide & the value we can add to others...it's an interesting paradigm, because when we discover how powerful we really are (regardless of what form it is), we let go of the limitations we tend to put on ourselves...

It really comes down to what brings you joy & what inspires you....and not caring what the hell other people think. Just be authentic, believe & be you completely. :) 

Thanks, Zoltan. You got me thinking again..thanks for your awesome content & for being you. :) 💚

We see someone is smart and talented, we think she/he will do something bigger. But we forget what that person really wants to do. What makes her/him happy? Whatever you do in life, if you are happy, that's all that matters.

I love your story, you know. :)
