Steven Bartlett Inspirational Quotes

Stories are the single most powerful weapon any leader can arm themselves with – they are the currency of humanity. Those who tell captivating, inspiring, emotional stories rule the world.

If you want to change someone’s belief, don’t attack it, make them a direct witness to positive new evidence that will both inspire them and counteract the negative effects of their old beliefs. Unchallenged limiting beliefs are the greatest barrier between who we are and who we could be. Stop telling yourself you’re not qualified, good enough or worthy. Growth happens when you start doing the things you’re not qualified to do.

You’ll never be intrinsically defined, valued or measured by your car, bank balance, job title, followers or accomplishments. That’s a socially propagated lie inspired by societal status games, and it’s a lie that feels so fucking tempting to believe – especially in the social media age. It’s a lie that makes us desire to escape ourselves, fix ourselves or go under the knife to correct ourselves. This toxic lie speaks directly to our self-esteem, our ego and our self-efficacy. After all, if it’s true that we can become ‘more’ than we are right now, we must surely be less. It’s all a fucking lie. You are enough. And you always were. REAL ambition is not based on or inspired by the desire to be ‘more’ than you are. That isn’t real ambition. That’s the same insecure pursuit for external validation that I embarked on at 18 years old. Real ambition isn’t about ‘less’ or ‘more’, status or fame, approval or disapproval. Real ambition is about you; it doesn’t care about likes, followers or comments, it cares about what honestly matters to you.
