It's not just about you. It's about us. (Dame Jacinda Ardern)

   Self-doubt brings with it humility… The humility to know that when a challenge presents itself, you need to understand the problem to the best of your ability. It drives you to seek information — to listen to experts who can teach you and advisors who can guide you. 

   That sensitivity you walk through life with, the thing that moves you to tears when you see the pain of others? It can also be what drives you to action. The reason you seek to make change. The thing that motivates you to keep going in difficult or trying circumstances. 

   In fact, all those traits that you might have believed your whole life were weaknesses — questioning yourself, the doubt that brings humility, or sensitivity that comes with empathy — may just be what the world needs more of. 

   Because it’s not just about you. It’s about us. 

   We are connected. Always have been. History has taught us that time and time again, and now our current challenges and crises are reminding us. Not just that we need cooperation to overcome what lies before us, but that we also need the strength of shared values. 

   [Your self-doubt] is also your curiosity and humility. We need your sensitivity, because it’s also your kindness and your empathy. And most of all, we need your sense of duty to your home, and to others. We need all of that, because it’s about you. And it’s about us. 

--Dame Jacinda Ardern
Former Prime Minister of New Zealand
