When was the last time you told yourself how great you are? When was the last time you told yourself your an idiot for making a mistake?
In order to begin to experience joy and success, we first have to acknowledge our greatness. We have to compliment us. It's simple, we have all heard the saying, "If you don't love yourself you will never be able to love someone else.
Being self defeating is so simple that many become addicted to it. If we focus on the negative, than negativity is what we bring to us. We were not created to go against ourselves.
Imagine your taking a stroll in the park and you see a man just standing there beating himself up. I mean literally beating himself up. A left, a right, a uppercup and a right hook all to his own body. You would think that man was a hot mess and high tail it out of there.
But when we focus on whats wrong, that is exactly what were doing. The only difference is it's easier to hide.
The moment we stop comparing ourselves to others and the world doors of change will begin to open. new friendships, new joys, new peace and new ideas. If you acknowledge one good thing even in defeat, you grow and get the skills you need to claim victory.
The details of success are in the failings. But you can only see them by thinking the best. By focusing on whats wrong we are literally punching ourselves down. When you do that you forget the victories.
Being confident and positive doesn't create opportunities it only allows us to see them.
