The Importance of YOU!
I have encountered far too many people with a low opinion of themselves. (It's also true I've encountered a few with too high of an opinion
but that's a different article.)
I'm not sure where this, the low opinion, comes from exactly but I'll put forth my educated guess, my opinion.
Do you have a low opinion of yourself?
Or perhaps, it's not low but just not as high as it should be!
I'm betting that others have convinced you that you are less than you are or could be. They have criticized you, made you wrong, told you
are stupid, ugly, never going to amount to anything, lazy, ignorant, and on and on.
Probably you can think of a few things your family have said to you that made you feel bad! And no doubt, your employer(s) past and
present. How about your spouse? Does he/she often sound like his/her parents when they are upset?
And there's always the “friend” that is telling you “for you own good” what is wrong with you. That's a good line “What's wrong with you
is...” or “The thing wrong with you is...”
Most people treat you like they were treated. So they aren't all bad but often have been trained by pain to react the way they do. There is
little, if any, thinking behind their venom. You just happen to be a “friend” they can whittle down some safely.
See if you can recall someone speaking to you this way? Or someone speaking to others this way? Perhaps you've done this too?
If you found yourself guilty of doing this, now that you've spotted it, you can simply decide if you wish to continue help kill off your friends
and family or to change and be a true friend. It's your choice.
This is called invalidation, making wrong or less of someone!
The government does this every time we let them take over an industry or problem area. By doing this, they are telling us we can't handle
the problem. Unfortunately we usually have failed to take responsibility and thus let the government cease power!
Healthcare is an example of that. Many people in America complained and failed to be effective. So the federal government has illegally
took over and will be dictating your care. And who's going to pay for it? It is totally corrupt but that's not the point of this article either.
You are successful!
You are far more successful than you are a failure. Were this not true, you would not be able to read this.
Additionally, if you are not more correct in your actions, more successful, than you are a failure, you die. You haven't made a fatal
mistake nor made enough little mistakes to die.
Many people have good opinions of you. I do! You're taking the time to read this and perhaps improve yourself. That will help you and
mankind. Thus I benefit!
Look around. Do you have friends any where? Do you have any family that cares about you? If you don't email me and we can set up a
regular communication. I'll help you. No cost!
The media is constantly feeding you bad news. Radio, TV, newspapers, the internet, even your “friends” and family feed you bad news.
“Look how bad it all is!”
Well, it is not all bad! Did you eat today? Good! It could be worse.
Now what can you do to improve things? What can you do to improve your opinion of yourself?
Tips on Survival:
1. Change your viewpoint!
- Look around and see the beauty around you. It is not all ugly. Have you seen a toddler lately? That's beauty and they are so alive!
- Recall the times you have helped someone, even a little!
- Recall some of the times you've been successful, that you've been right!
- Now, just change your mind and decide you're great!
2. Improve your diet and rest habits.
Tired or ill fed people think all is lost. Recall the last bad hangover you had! So just start getting a little sleep and eating regular
meals. If you need data on nutrition, contact me! Also, vitamin B1 can help a lot of things, you might try it.
3. Stop watching, reading, or listening to the news! Just try it! Go see a good movie. Listen to some good music or read a
book. Read the article listed below! Contact me!
4. Put some time into learning! Learning is an expansion of you, your beingness. If you ever totally stop learning, you will be dying or
dead. If you need something to study, there's a list of article that I recommend below or contact me!
5. Change friends! Lose the negative people. Once, my wife and I cut all communication with her aunt for four years. Our life got
simpler and better! If you absolutely can't cut communications with negative people, contact me. I'll coach you on how to handle them. No
cost. Don't let others pull you down to their level of misery!
