You be you. I'm Jennifer Takagi, the host of

destin for success, and today I want to talk about Ubu, and I

think it was attributed to Oscar Wilde. Part of me, but that's a

little questionable. Did he really say that? I don't know.

Maybe the concept was his, but the thought is, You be you

because everybody else is taken. You be you because everybody

else is taken. If you're on a journey of personal development,

personal growth, like I am, I've been on it for a while, and if

you're on it, you see people, and you're like, wow, like, I

want to be like them. I want to show up like they do. When you

think that, when you say that out loud, sometimes you're

looking at social media people. I mean, I know I have from time

to time, or I don't know, every day, but you're looking at them

and their lives and what they're projecting to the world. And we

have to keep in mind it may not be true, like there should could

be some photo shopping going on. There could be editing of their

lives. There was one person that was a big influencer, and I

really started following and really appreciated what they

were doing and how they were showing up in the world, and it

all fell apart, and many parts of their life were not how they

were portraying them through the world. There were was a lack of

authenticity and truth behind what they were selling and how

they were showing up. So you have to be a little bit careful

on that. But one thing that I find kind of fun to do is look

at other people and consider what attributes they have that

you want to embody like they do that really well. I i would like

to be more like that. A number of years ago, I was on a special

task force team with the federal government, and we came together

for a week for a boot camp to kick it off and figure out what

on earth we were doing and why we were there. And there was

this one woman that just was very appealing to me, like her

whole demeanor, how she showed up, how she shared information.

I was like, wow. Like, I want to be more like her. She just seems

so polished and brilliant. And after a couple nights, we all

went across the street from the building where we were working,

and had dinner and drinks, and everybody from the group had,

like, vanished. Somebody went to smoke, somebody went to the

bathroom, somebody went to the bar, like whatever. Everybody

kind of scattered. And she and I were the last two at the table,

and we had taken the Myers Briggs Personality profile exams

or assessments, I guess, and we were going to find out the next

day the results of our assessment, and I hadn't taken

one before. And we were also going to find out what teams we

were on. There were five of us, and we were going to be in teams

of three and another team of two. And so when this gal and I

ended up being the last two at the table for a few minutes, I

said, you know, I just, I just want you to know that I think

that when these results come out, we are going to be polar

opposites, and I hope I'm on a team with you, because I think I

have a lot to learn from you. And she looked at me, and she

goes, That is so funny that you would say that, because I was

thinking, Jennifer and I are probably polar opposites, and I

would love to be on a team with her. And voila, we both got our

wishes, our dreams came true, our results came out. And I

don't know the lettering for Myers Briggs, but on the far

left of the chart was extremely introverted, and on the far

right of the chart was extreme extroverted. And lo and behold,

she was far left, introverted, and I was far right,

extroverted. And the third amazing member of our team was

one point over the line of being extrovert, and she raised her

hand and said, Can I change my score? Because I think I'm an

introvert. And we all laughed, and they said, Yes, of course,

you can change your score. You can be whatever you want to be,

but she really was. She really was right on that cusp. And to

be clear on the definition and the difference between an

extrovert and an introvert, it's how you recharge yourself, how

you refuel. So think of an introvert as the person who

might go to the coffee shop and read a magazine, cover to cover,

and never say a word to anyone other than when they place their

order. They are being refueled, re energized by spending time by

themselves, reading a book, reading a magazine, the

newspaper. Maybe it's watching TV, I don't know, but they're

doing it by themselves. They're not interacting with people.

People seem to pull their energy and drain them. Flip Side,

extrovert, I would train all day, literally on my feet,

talking, training all day long, and then I wanted to know where

we were going for dinner and drinks, because my cup is filled

by being around people, interacting with people. Now, I

go days at a time when I never walk out of my house and I never

see a soul physically, in person, I'm on Zoom calls and

I'm on telephone calls. I'm working with clients and stuff,

but I'm not necessarily physically with somebody, and

that doesn't bother me at all. I have friends who are like, Oh my

gosh, I had to get outside. I'd been inside all day, and I was

like, it's 105 in Oklahoma. I don't need to go outside the

mail. Can wait like I don't need to go out there, but I do get

energized talking to people. If you've been following for a

while, you might know that I had my knee replaced in a few months

ago, and it's been a little slower recovery than last one,

which the last one I bounced back very quickly. This one's

been a little slower, which irritates me to no end. And the

doctor keeps saying, Oh, it's fine. It's fine. You know, every

surgery is different, every recovery is different. And I

said, Well, I'm done with this. He just laughs at me and says,

you know, whatever is going to happen when it happens. But even

though I'm an extreme extrovert, I'm fine being home alone, like

that's okay. I don't have to be with people. I don't have to go

out all the time, but I also don't mind going out all the

time and seeing people and being with friends and family. So

that's the difference between an extrovert and an introvert. An

introvert recharges being alone extrovert recharges being with

people. That's the difference. So this friend of mine, as I'm

looking at her qualities, I'm like, I want to be more like

that. I want to be a little bit more thoughtful

before I answer or respond. I want to do just a little bit

more research

before I make a final decision. Those are some qualities of hers

that I really appreciated. Those were qualities I didn't have,

but the great qualities I did have is I very easily could

extemporaneously speak on the topic, I could engage the

participants and get them to engage and share I I'll just say

I've been very proud when I've been training a room of 3035

people, and every single person interacts and engages at some

point throughout the day, that's a big deal, because sometimes

you go to those things and people won't say a word to

anyone. Not every person raised their hand and spoke out loud,

but every person shared, at least within their table. And I

think that's a big win. I take that as a really big win. So I

do that well. I do public speaking well. This podcast has

been going for a while, and I think it's going pretty well. So

there are a lot of those communication training things

that I do really well. So when I line that up against the

attributes of people that I see, that I admire, that I want to

embody some of their qualities, that's great, but if I make a

list of their qualities, and unless a list of the things I

already do, well, it's super fun to see how they align, and I

encourage you to do that too. Why? Because you're probably not

missing the mark by as much as you think they are, spend a

little bit of time figuring out where you align, how much you

align, and then on the things that you want to build. Build

this skill. Nobody came out of the womb being really good at

anything. We might have a propensity to be a little better

at some skills than others, but for the most part, we need to

learn how to do it. So decide what skill is it that I would

like to build up and do better so that I can show up better in

the world make a greater impact? Act as I create the life of my

dreams. I promise you were destined for more success than

you have ever even imagined, and now it's time to go for it. I'm

Jennifer Takagi with destined for success. I look forward to

connecting with you soon. Book a call with me on your success
