Many people working on personal development, myself included, struggle with or have struggled with feeling inferior at one time or another.

What I have learned to do (and what I teach others who are on their own path of personal development) is to pay close attention to the words I use to describe myself, for example: When I answer questions about how my book promotion is coming, I don’t refer to myself with regard to the challenge I face, as a “small potato”, or “little fish”, or “just a nobody”, and so on… Instead, I describe myself as what I am, an unknown, self-published author. I explain how I am learning what it takes to become known by enough people in order to sell lots of books, possibly even making it to the best-seller List.

You see, the words we use, to describe ourselves to others, are a reflection of how we view ourselves. If you describe yourself as “just a nobody” then how will you ever become a “somebody”? Being somebody starts with believing that you are a person of worth, that who you are matters, and developing that belief relies on the words you use to describe yourself. So, if you’ve been thinking or speaking of yourself in terms of being a little fish in a big pond, my advice is to change your self talk. You can be any size fish you want to be, everthing else is just details.
