When he walks into the room, you’ll notice his smiling eyes and his seemingly confident stride. He is a good-looking young man who can carry his own.
He can engage you in great conversation and easily charm you with his wit. He is very passionate about his job and it’s not by sheer luck that he earns a 6-digit income from it every month.
For me, he was a success. He had every reason to be confident.
“But I am just not good enough,” he said. He told me how shies away from the women he’s attracted to because he feels he doesn’t deserve them. “They’re too good for me.”
