Be intentional about the You, you desire to become
Sometimes, I wonder how people deal with the same problem but come out with different results and how the same circumstances birth different resolutions.
For a while, I thought it was a personality thing, but after intense study, I discover it is a psychological issue.
Our opinion of ourselves goes a long way in how we see and perceive ourselves, our perception of self is a major input that determines the output we see in our lives today, as in our workplace, you can't produce an output more than the input that is issued, the same way you can't build a great you with the input of a poor self-view, when we don't have an honest conclusion of who we are, we end up being a reflection of the opinions of other people. Rightly put, No man will value you more than you value yourself because
"Nobody can make you inferior without your consent” —Eleanor Roosevelt"
some people tend to talk down on themselves because they think by doing so, it will show how humble they are. so therefore they overlook their small wins and shortcut their joy.
The way we view ourselves goes a long way and also affects how we see the world, the way we see ourselves can influence our judgment, mood, and behaviors. We reflect what is inside of us
Making yourself feel small to make someone else feel better doesn't show how heroic you are, rather you are bashing your self-esteem and before you know it, peewee You are slowly going.
Be The You, You Desire
Be real: Always be yourself no matter where you find yourself, don't be swayed by the opinion of others, be the person you have always dreamt about, set principles, and don't let wrong and false views of others navigate you from the path you set out for yourself.
Speaking your peace out respectfully: Saying how you feel should not be an issue when you feel it is necessary to do so, you have to set boundaries in place when necessary, however, you shouldn't do it violently.
Standing on your ground politely: when it is yes, let it be Yes, and when it is No, simply put it as No. Hold your head high, and stand firmly on your principles. Standing firmly on your principles doesn't term you as rude or bad.
Celebrate every win: No win is too small nor too big to celebrate, every win is you climbing a milestone and you experiencing growth. Did you just accomplish a goal? Celebrate it, it's not embarrassing and because others have achieved it before you, doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate, what about those that haven't achieved it?
Be Real
When you try to live your most authentic life, some of your
relationships will be put in jeopardy. Losing them is a risk worth bearing;
Our self-perception can highly influence our judgment, it can influence how people treat us, and more importantly how we treat ourselves.
So let's be careful to see ourselves with the right lens so the world can see us right so
Pause for 60 seconds. Slow down your thoughts and think of the You, you desire. Ready? Go!
