Most times, we do not even realize what we are capable of, the things we could achieve if we put our minds and efforts into them. This is probably because, we are so focused on other people’s lives that we fail to appreciate and bring out the best in ourselves. We are too busy admiring the strength in others and wanting what they have. This makes us begin to feel unloved, empty and with no directions at all. We begin to only see the weaknesses, the failures, nothing good anymore, all because we failed to look within, and see the strengths we have, we fail to appreciate and harness this strength to become all we want to achieve.
This is exactly how low self esteem stems up. You feel inadequate, unblessed and unloved and this certainly affects your life and relationship with others generally. You are majorly unhappy because you feel others have their lives going on but you are stuck and clueless as to what to do. Focusing on your weaknesses makes you recognize only the lack in yourself and never the strength, and this leaves you with a feeling of unworthiness.
This is very common amongst people that want to achieve great things but are clueless as to what to do with their lives. They then see their peers who appear successful to them and they have this huge admiration for the life they are living. They suddenly switch to whatever they are doing. They fail to evaluate themselves and make the right choices for themselves.
Its very beautiful to admire people, to admire whatever it is you love about them, its okay to aspire to be like them. What’s not okay is draining yourself while chasing to be who they are forgetting that you have your own unique talents and most importantly that, to be better in life requires efforts, consistency and patience. Behind those people you admire, their oratory, their writing skills whatever it is you admire were days of imperfection, days of constant practice till they became pros in their field.
Don’t let you weakness become an excuse or inhibit you from achieving what you want to become. Your weaknesses should be worked on, not dwelt upon. Look at yourself, look inward. you carry so much strength and grace, there is definitely something unique about you and the only way you can see that and achieve whatever you want is to pay you attention. Start to appreciate your strength and direct your energy towards what you can achieve with them.
Don’t focus on other people’s lives, it makes you forget yourself and start to chase what others are doing instead of your own dreams thereby, wasting your days and efforts because the truth is that, if you don’t love whatever you are doing, you wont make much progress. Don’t ever make the mistake of wanting to do something simply because others are doing it.
I want you to know that you have what it takes to achieve the success you dream of, quit doubting yourself.
