Why You Can't Accept Compliments

from 10 Minute Mindset - Actionable Self Development With Scott Clary · host Success Story Media

When someone compliments you, you deflect or feel uncomfortable. Everyone thinks you're being modest. You're not—you're being honest. You know you can do better, and accepting praise for something beneath your potential feels like lying. High performers reject compliments for a specific reason that has nothing to do with humility. You'll learn why your standards create this discomfort, the hidden cost of never accepting recognition, and the reframe that lets you receive praise without lowering your bar. Your relationship with compliments reveals whether you're driven by potential or achievement.
