GAINING CONTROL OF YOU!
A lot of us went through the stage of doubting our self worth, we looked down on our capabilities and strength, we never believed we were stronger or smarter, nor could be come out tops in class. We accepted that we can never amount to something great.
This sort of thinking can be as a result of our surroundings, family history, certain events that occurred and have gotten the best of us, also it could be discouraging words being constantly reminded of your "weaknesses" by close family and friends.
If you have not outgrown this feeling of insecurity, you need to know that having a feeling of self worthlessness, or assessing yourself far below excellence, will do you no good. It is in fact a lie you are telling yourself and this can stop you from using up your God given potentials. You are fearful and wonderfully made by Him, you are a heir of God, His child, God is mighty and you have his DNA. You are wired naturally to do mighty things, to outdo Him, for as He is, so we are on earth (IJohn4vs17), He told us, we shall do greater works than He did on earth! ( John14vs12).
Here are 4 things that have help me think Better about myself
1. THINK LESS OF WHAT THEY THINK!
Everyone will have a lot to say about you no matter how invisible you choose to appear, no matter how good or bad, happy or sad, jovail or aloof, kind or unkind, people don't care, In the eyes of humans you can never be good enough, someone may even say it is all pretense. Most people, do not want others to do better than them, to be more smarter or prettier or more happier than they are.Understand that you can never please everyone. So do not let what they think about you weigh you down, you owe a duty to yourself to think highly of yourself. Decide you do not need approval or affirmation of who you are from anyone either good or bad, with that you will forever walk with your head high and enjoy living your life on earth.
2. KEEP GOING!
Do not look behind you to see your past mistakes, inadequacies and failures. You may have done things that made others ridicule you in the past, or you have some obvious shortcomings, maybe your physical appearance or psychologically you are not completely stable. Don't dwell on it. This is a trap to hold you down, to dull your shine, So that you constantly look back at your antecedents and how much of a failure you are. Resist the temptation of wallowing in self pity, instead get better. Try to correct your wrongs, acquire more knowledge and skills, develop yourself. Get better education and more training. Reading is a good way to learn, get and read good books on life matters. With these your confidence will be enhanced.
3. WE ARE ALL NOT PERFECT!
You didn't think of it? be reminded then, that the man or woman, boy or girl you so much envy and try to become like isn't also perfect. Everyone on earth have imperfections.
There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake. (Ecclesiastes 7vs20). Yes the Bible said that. God knows that he did not create anyone to be perfect, we need His constant help to always get it right. Don't feel dejected when you are mocked at or rejected. The person mocking you also have his or her skeleton in the closet. So feel free to make good use of your life, those who value you will love the imperfect you, perfectly.
4. AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE LIKE A PLAGUE!
Get away from their midst. Do not hang around people who see you as inferior or who have no respect for other people. Humans are supposed to coexist with each other, by tolerance and mutual respect. However some persons break this universal rule, they treat others with disdain,and are unapologetically rude, unpleasant and consider themselves more superior. You cannot help them, do not stay around, you will end up dancing to their tune, turning to only a shadow of yourself. You will eventually accept their treatments and opinion of you, as someone insignificant, not able to make any tangible impact on earth, which is a false impression of who you really are. Instead, walk away from them or if it is not practical to go from there, then close your mind and heart against their attitudes, instead constantly remind yourself that no matter what they say,
You are Important, and You will do MIGHTY THINGS!
