With all of his writing, it’s no wonder he has words that made our quote of the day today. It comes from a book where he talks about not living up to your full potential, and the quote itself is about not doubting yourself. Or rather, shifting your perspective and investigating why you doubt the good things about yourself.
He received his PhD from the University of Michigan and his B.A. from Harvard University. And as his site says, in his work, Grant “rethinks how we work and live.” So with all of that in perspective, let’s jump into today’s quote. Which calls us out for doubting the good in ourselves but not the bad, and how we can rework that so we don’t do either and recognize our worth.

This quote is from Grant’s book, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things, in which he writes about what we’re missing by overlooking people who aren’t born with “innate advantages” or who come out the gate as “gifted” students. This “leads us to overlook the distances we ourselves can travel. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.”
“Growth is not about the genius you possess—it’s about the character you develop,” the book description reads.
“Not long ago, it dawned upon me that impostor syndrome is a paradox:
Others believe in youYou don't believe in yourselfYet you believe yourself instead of themRelated: Quote of the Day: Psychologist Angela Duckworth on Effort, Talent and ‘Unmet Potential'
The point he’s trying to make is the silly concept of questioning your competence if there’s nothing to back it up, while also not questioning low opinions of yourself, too. Because if you’re going to do one, you should do both.
With that mindset, we might be able to eliminate imposter syndrome from taking hold. Or at the very least, be able to remind ourselves of the positives. Because if you’re not going to believe in yourself and give in to your thoughts about how you’re not good enough, why listen to the voices in your head pointing out your flaws?
