53: How I Broke Free from the Inferiority Mind Trap

53: How I Broke Free from the Inferiority Mind Trap

Do you ever look around you and feel you are not as good as others? Does that feeling nag you to the point of negatively affecting your actions?


You’re not alone.


This is a feeling David had his entire life, but this last year has learned a few key lessons to free him from that inferiority mind trap.


Listen today as David walks through the journey of what trapped him in an inferiority loop and what the turning point was that allowed him to break free.


Your past should not define you. Your future should not define you. What others think and believe about you should not define you. Comparing yourself against the success of others should not define you.


There is only one person that defines you that really matters, and it’s not you. It’s God.


You are created by God, as His masterpiece, for good works. He has already laid them out before you, you just need to do them.


If you have struggled with feeling inferior to others in the past, tune in and find hope, peace, and the courage to move forward boldly in your life.


David has gone through that transformation, and you can as well.


Verses mentioned in episode:

  • Ephesians 2:10 – God created you for good works

  • 2 Timothy 2:20-21 – God uses countless people for His work, not just a few

  • 2 Corinthians 10:12 – Don’t compare yourself with others

  • Exodus 6:1, 12 – Success is determined on God, not you


Other takeaways:

  1. Advice is not as good as counsel

  2. The Clarity—Confidence—Actions—Results improvement cycle

  3. Results belong to God
