This is a timely comment on our society and the preasures put upon people. I believe that as you say "most of us have some version of this fear and a deep-seeded belief that we’re fundamentally flawed" the "collective belief in our culture that becoming famous and well-known is an important goal and a key element to being successful and fulfilled in life" drives the insecure to seek 'fame' in a way that the individual insecurity alone would not. And then there is also the subconscious copy cat competetive drive. And thanks for pointing out the need to "Focus on what you really want", this could be helped by getting in touch with our idesls and purpose in life. Going deeper than the psychological, getting in touch with our spiritual ideals. There is a great deal of emphsis in our culture on our psychological makeup, and we often stay there, when we go deeper to our spiritual core and learn about that part of us, the psychological aspect of us often gets in line with the spiritual and many psychological issues either resolve themselves in time or at least are seen in a different light. Thanks for keeping us on our 'toes' ! Rachel Thanks!!! This is a timely comment on our society and the preasures put upon people.

I know that I would love to be known for being great at something, mostly because I want to personally believe that I'm great at something. And if I go deeper, I'm almost certain that's connected to my sense of self worth and how unworthy I can feel sometimes. Thank you for the reminder that we're all in this together.

Now that you've called us out on this, making me (and everyone else) more self aware, I can no longer mindlessly chase the elusive brass ring of fame. Just when I was dead certain that getting my kids on a reality show would create a lifetime of bliss for us. Thanks a lot Robbins! You're forcing me to evolve my soul. Well, thanks a lot.
