Stop and ask yourself today, "How do I really feel about myself?" Before you answer read these ten principles.
(1) Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.
In this life, almost everyone can speak negatively about you. Starting with your parents, friends, relatives, lovers, etc to the person who doesn't even know you. The only person who truly knows you is YOU. Now if you talk negatively about yourself, who can think otherwise?
We'al have our God-given strengths. Something we can do perfectly with a lot of ease. Learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.
(3) Don't compare yourself to anybody else.
You're unique baby, you're one of a kind, you're an original. It's entirely okay to admire someone. But no one is complete. The one you admire also admires somebody else. You can be anything you wana be by just being you. So don't settle for being a copy.
(4) Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Explore your full potential and maximize it. As I said earlier, there's that one or two things you can do perfectly well with very much ease. You maybe having some limitations here and there but buddy, just believe that your potential can consume all of it. Remember, God lives in you!
(5) Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.
I'm not so old but these few years I've seen life, I've learnt that the things we love most, the things we do with so much enthusiasm are the things do best. Cristiano Ronaldo's best moment is when he's playing soccer, and we'al know what he can do with the ball.
Do what you always like to do, and trust me, you can never go wrong.
(6) Have the courage to be different.
Be unique and different. Difference is good.When people say,"Why don't you do this like most people?" Reply with, "I'm not most people." People always want you to do what they want to see. I think it's better to do what God wants you to do.
Be a GOD pleasure, not a people pleasure.
(7) Learn to handle criticism.
To a greater extent, criticism is good. People criticise because of very many reasons most of which are known only to them. Some may just be hating on you, some want you to improve, some may just criticise for FOMO. But in any way they do it, let it just develop you instead of discourage you.
(8) Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you.
Most times when people determine your worth, they they short-change you! You are not nothing. You are something big abduction you should let the whole world know that. Don't let anybody undermine you.
(9) Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress.
We don't always get to do what we wana do, when we wana do it. That's not how life works. Life's not always a straight path(many life theories here.. Haha) Ok my point is we'll always have setbacks in our plans, we'll always have disappointments here and there. What do you think of now? Quit?? Just don't. What if Kool from the Kool and Gang quit? Do you think Gang would get that recording contract with "Gang" as the name?? I guess not. Or what Cristiano Ronaldo quit because Lionel Messi had won the Ballon D'or fir an unprecedented 4 times in a row?? Do you think he'd have won it last year? No. Hang in there. Keep trying. You are still a work in progress baby. One day you gonna make it.
(10) Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - The GOD Who lives in you!
And how can I write this list without putting in God. God comes first in everything and being last on this list doesn't change a thing. Put all your faith, trust and hope in Him. You can never go wrong.
YOU ARE WELCOME.
