When I talk and listen to a lot of people in the personal development space I hear them say “You really gotta love yourself” and while I think that’s true to some extent, those words just don’t work for everyone. Nick Dee especially. Nick Dee is a self-proclaimed self-hater, but for good reason. They always think they can be better. I mentioned in the episode that there’s a difference between people who hate themselves and don’t push forward in their lives and then other people who hate themselves, but still go do the “thing”! While you never want to hate yourself so much that you never celebrate any of your successes or think that you’re terrible at what you do, a little bit of “self-hatred” can go a long way if you use it FOR YOU.
For me, personally, I have always strayed away from purposely hating myself to push further because, deep down, I really did have a dislike towards myself! But growing older and also understanding how to love myself, I see the true benefits of using some optimistic self-hate. We spend a little time talking about this and Nick Dee’s mindset in the episode, which I was fascinated with, but we also talk a lot about their resourcefulness, their desperation to get off their friends couch and in their own place, and the terrible experiences they had leading up to opening their own business! Ya gotta hear this one!
