Secrets Of
Higher Self Esteem and More...
How did it feel the last time you were criticized? How did it feel the
last time your manager told you that your performance was below
standards? How did it feel the last time you have done something then
you were told that it was not that good?
Probably you felt bad, But do you know why did you feel so? , Because
you have got an external self confidence and not an internal one.
you are not what you do nor what you have
Many people out there think that they are what they do, or that they
are what they have. They think that if they did something wrong that
they are faulty, they think that if they did things that everyone liked
then they are good. They tie their opinion of themselves and their self
worth to external events and objects instead of their own inner feeling
of self worth.
Once a friend of mine did some writing work, and upon finishing it
everyone told him that what he wrote was not that good. He then felt
worthless, down and remained depressed for a few days. Do you know why
did he feel so? Because he thought that if his writings were bad then
this does mean that he is bad too, he thought that if his work was not
liked by people then he may not be a worthy person. He thought that he
is "his writings" instead of thinking that this writing is one of the
many tasks he performs.
Some people go beyond that and think that they are what they have. They
may think that they are their cars, they are their big houses,they are
their emotions or they are their current profession. There is only one
problem with that way of thinking, which is as soon as they lose any of
these external objects they loose their self worth with them, because
they were not john or marry, they were not Paul nor peter, they were
the big car and the good job, they were the achievements and the fame,
and so after they lost them, they became nothing.
life moves in cycles
Know that life moves in cycles and whatever goes up must come down, the
hundreds of friends you currently have now may disappear one day, the
fame and glory you have now may be forgotten by people, the money you
have collected may be lost within months, know that if you think that
way then your confidence will move in a yoyo like motion according to
the ups and downs of life.
Its still not to late to fix this way of thinking, just know that you
are not your work , you are not people's opinion about you, you are not
what you do nor you are what you have. If you wonder whom you are then,
then dig deep into your abilities and skills, dig into your wishes and
dreams, dig into your Beliefs and higher values , only then you can
know your true self.
