Your value doesn’t decrease just because someone doesn’t see your worth.
Have you ever been at a key moment in your life in which you feel as if your future can be inextricably altered by someone recognizing the value that you bring to the equation?
If that moment did not go the way you had expected, how did that leave you feeling?
If you are allowing anyone else’s perspective to fully influence your vision of yourself, you are making a tremendous mistake.
You might find value in listening with an open mind to the criticism of others, as there may be genuine validity in that criticism for you to learn from, but for you to feel any lesser degree of self-worth, as a result of their opinion, is a very significant mistake.
People will always have opinions, and at some point we must decide whether or not our own image of self is strong enough to weather any storm that may arise.
If we understand that our internal perspective must reign sovereign over any third party’s opinion, we have the strength and reality to bounce back from anything that appears as a giant disappointment.
Instead, we replace those moments with nothing but our confidence, which must remain immutable in order for us to ultimately succeed at whatever we have set our mind to achieving.
If you are projecting negative projections on yourself, I would counsel you cease and desist from that behavior immediately and instead, focus on your strengths and continually improve them every possible way that you might.
You are who you think you are. It’s really that simple.
Happy Monday!
