Self-esteem, self-image is foundational to your quality of life. We cannot rise above, or at least not stay above whatever is our inner perception regarding our worth.
Just look at what happened to Tiger Woods. The sad thing is, we are already good enough, just because we exist! We are the one who continue to allow the thinking into our lives that something “out there” is our salvation. That inner peace is to be had from something outside of who we are.
Granted, the emotional wiring that usually gets screwed up early in life play a significant role, but I’m here to tell you that we can rewire ourselves once we make the intentional commitment to do so.
And, the good news is, it is not as difficult as you think. I’ve made it my business to find tools and processes to change my inner turmoil and find the inner power and peace to consciously design my life by choice.
And it is working.
I also believe that the changes that we feel “in the air” around us is helping to assist this process by the rapid insights that are happening in the progressive arenas of science and spirituality. The spirituality piece is actually ancient.
We are just waking up again to remember. Now, how does this apply to everyday practical life? Let’s look at it from a business point of view.
When you are insecure and worry about what others say it translate to:
1. Poor networking skills, the old “fear of rejection”
2. Afraid to get out of the box and become the next visionary entrepreneur, like Steve Job for example. I’m sure he had plenty of naysayer dragons to slay.
3. Low self-worth often translates to “what will they say” if I become wealthy?
We give our power away and look for validation from the opinions of others. We think that something out there will be the magic bullet and make us feel good for a change.
Why not start asking different questions? Like, where did this belief that my worth is based on what some strangers say about me come from? Or how about seeking more courage within to get out of your own way and start seeing our relatively short life as an adventure instead of a mediocre trip of merely surviving until we grow old and die, a life never lived?
The high rate of misery and depression, chronic debt and disease proves that something is not working. Hint: As we think and feel, so will we act. One key to raising our quality of life is to stop thinking we are bad, unworthy and rejecting ourselves and we can then make room for compassion, for our self and others. It’s about living from a place of love instead of competition and fear.
Self-esteem or acceptance and self-love can only be stable when it starts from the “inside out”!
