I Would Rather Be Alone (ft. @leilahormozi)
Talk With The Video
Summary
- I would rather be by myself than be with someone who makes me less like who I truly am.
- It's important to ask if being with someone makes it easier or harder to reach your goals.
- People aren't necessarily bad if they make things harder for you; it’s about their traits and how they affect you.
- Think about what traits a person has that you admire because those traits can rub off on you.
- If you're around patient people, you might become more patient, and that's a good thing.
- Being around empathetic people can make you more empathetic, which can also help you reach your goals.
- Be aware that you might absorb everything from someone, not just the good traits but possibly things that make you weaker.
- Weaker means being less likely to achieve what you want or become who you want to be.
- People often struggle with this because they fear being alone.
- The first step might be to become comfortable with being alone.

How To Take Action
Embrace Solitude
A good way to start is by learning to be comfortable being alone. Spend some time each day without any distractions or people to see if you enjoy your own company. This can help you grow and understand yourself better.
Evaluate Relationships
Next, assess your relationships. Think about the people you spend the most time with. Do they make it easier or harder for you to reach your goals? If someone’s presence makes you act less in line with who you truly are or want to be, consider limiting your time with them.
Seek Inspiring Traits
Identify traits in others that you admire and wish to develop. For example, if you want to be more patient, spend time with people who exemplify this quality. Let their patience influence you positively.
Balance Influences
Remember, while you can absorb good traits, you can also pick up negative ones. Stay mindful of which influences you’re letting in. Balance the positive by staying aware of behaviors that might make you less likely to achieve your goals.
Face the Fear of Loneliness
If you struggle with being alone, take small steps to overcome this fear. Journal, meditate, or go for walks by yourself. These activities can help you build a strong foundation of inner confidence.
By focusing on these steps, you can create an environment that supports your personal and professional growth while staying true to who you are or want to be.
