Know your real advantage and do not pretend.
Every man has an advantage over others, something that sets him apart from the majority and makes him superior to others in this business. You have to know this asset in you and above all fully assume it and embrace it.
"The more a man plays his true advantage, the more valuable he is as good company for other men, the more useful he can be for others, the more he can be trusted to be authentic and fully present." David Deida.
Imagine if you had no fear and no worries about money. What would you do? Naturally, after a few seconds of reflection, you would move closer to your advantage, to what you love.
Most of us are afraid to fully embrace our advantage. Sometimes for lack of money, thinking "but what will others think"... And for the majority of us these kinds of personal aspirations are stifled by fear and will never see the light of day. But our loved ones will feel that this fear overwhelms us and that we are not working for what we are made for. And little by little they will lose the confidence they had in us and we will lose value in their eyes. If we don't face this fear we end up choosing the right studies, getting our degree and having a normal job, getting a normal wife and creating a normal family... In short, we live a normal life. We lose our liveliness and we fade away little by little from our true potential.
You have to embrace your advantage and share it with the world to make it better and to magnify it. A man shines if he is aligned with his gifts. To do this you must face your fears and without making rash decisions or risks, move beyond them and move out of your comfort zone.
