Self Esteem

Self Esteem

 

“I am worthless. I’ve been around a long time and look what I have to show for it, nothing. I’m surprised my mirror hasn’t shattered from my ugliness. I am as dumb as a pile of rocks.”

 

Does this sound familiar? Do you hear yourself saying this? I did. But the bottom line is, you’re wrong. You may be right about being around a long time, but the rest of that statement is total rubbish.

 

If you have children and friends, you have accomplished something. No friends? Would you want to be around someone who is always negative like that? I didn’t think so. Look at what you are good at and put your focus there.

 

You’re ugly? Who says so? You? Don’t listen to the low opinions from others. You are good looking. You may not be model material but good looking nonetheless,

 

How dumb are you? If you can read, you can learn. Read, talk to others, but learn. Do not let your intelligence or lack of it, bring you down.

 

Look at yourself closely. Yes, there are some parts that aren’t the greatest, but forget about them. Put those out of your mind. Only focus on what there is about you that is good. If it’s hard, then just start with the little things and work up. You can do it, and you must!

Wonderful essay about something people have not yet mastered - building self esteem. We are almost always our own worst enemies. Defeated thinking leads to defeated living. Victorious thinking leads to victorious living.

I think that the perspective you've created in this writing is to bring the reader to understanding a deepr sense of where beauty is created, however I do have to disagree with you on one point.  I don't think of 'a pile of rocks' as being dumb. 

I love rocks and feel I need to stand up for them.  Wink

 Hmmm - Owen Fiddler couldn't have groaned and whined it any better! LOL. Nice post, Ron - it's all about free will, choices and consequences.
