What do you think it is that makes some people just more successful than others. Yes all of the social structures that impact our dailey life obviously have something to do with this. Yet, tonight I started to believe that it may be something more sometimes, something internal.
How often do you either hear someone say positive, self validating things about themselves? More even, how often do you find yourself focusing on your atributes instead of what you are lacking. I believe some poeple are sucessful because they simply believe they can be. They have either been told since delinquency that they were more than capable or they had that ah! epiphany moment when all of a sudden they believed in themself.
Our society trains us so much to only focus on our short comings because that is how we will get better. I can’t do this anymore. While I am aware of what I can improve about myself I need to find a greater self love, in order to acieve the things I am capable of.
I guess what I am saying is that I want to be the person that is able to sit down in front of a problem and fix that problem because she knows she can. I no longer want to be the person that does not even sit down in front of that problem and make an attemp because fear and self doubt tell me before I have a chance I am not good enough, not capable, and simply not special.
