7 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes, and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.
One of the superpowers in good anxiety that comes from your own anxiety,
and this is a beautiful example that you just told me, is the superpower of empathy.
For yourself or others?
First for yourself and recognizing it in yourself and then giving it out to others.
Because just as you described your journey,
a lot of our own anxieties have been with us since we were little.
Same anxiety.
They stay for decades.
For your lifetime sometimes.
What was yours?
So I have many, but the one that I talk about here is... shyness and kind of social anxiety.
And I've learned because I'm a teacher and because I want to become an author,
I've learned the skills not to have those kinds of anxieties.
But I was painfully shy as a young girl.
And even into college, I found myself in social situations
and wanting to join and not feeling comfortable or even in class.
And so...
I realized that that has become my superpower as a teacher
because I know when I'm standing at the front of the classroom.
