Insight #8 is set your mind straight. Too often, we let our inner voice drown out our ability to stand tall and be heard. See how I started addressing that.
Also, stop cutting people down and hating on their successes. That's hurting you! When you cut people down you're coming up with excuses for other people's success and in turn, excusing yourself from taking responsibility for your failures.
