Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself,
Suddenly I'm on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.
These words
are from a song that describe so many of us. Here
this young man becomes the most powerful person on Earth and he has such a
negative self image that he still sees himself as Ioser. Many of us have this
innate negative attitude towards ourselves. We feel that either we are not
capable or not worthy to succeed or to be special. Negative self esteem or self
image will cause you to fail at everything. Imagine thinking to yourself,
" I am going to fail for sure".
If you were the boss of a company would you hire someone with that
attitude?
Excessive self-criticism tends to backfire,
because it leads us to focus on our so-called failures instead of the "small ways that we could haveimproved,". When you make a comment after a meeting that your
talk was stupid and that probably ruined your career. That type of thinking
will become true because when you believe that you are a failure then you give
up trying to win or to succeed. And over the long term, studies show,
self trash-talk is associated with higher stress levels and even depression.
I once read a book on how to become the
President of the Unites States. The author said that to be president you
had to believe with all your heart that you are the best person on the planet
to run our country and that without you the country will not succeed. If
you do not believe it then no one else will. Vincent Van Gough once said," if you hear a voice within you
saying, you are not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be
silenced". Never allow s negative self image stop you. Mohammed Ali
was famous for saying , "I am the
greatest." Once during an interview he said, " I am the greatest - I used to say that even before I knew I
was." He became the greatest boxer of his tunes because he
believed that he was great even before anyone ever heard of him. Would
Ali have become the world heavyweight champion if he didn't believe that he was
a champion." All that we are is the
result of what we have thought." Buddha.
