I met a young lady earlier this week and she told me she was never going to be successful. I was so shocked to hear that. Why would such a young lady make that conclusion about her life?? Very pathetic. The reason behind this is because she grew up with the wrong people. Her father divorced her mother before she was born and about few months later, her mother married another man. She lived with her mother and step-father for years. Her mother didn't give her so much care, love and attention. Her step-father constantly reminded her of how unlucky, chubby and dumb she was. He told her she was a bad omen and was never going to be useful to the society. Nobody reminded her of how victorious she was and she focused more on those shortcomings and words of her step-father. As time went on, she kept pondering on those words of her step-father. Today, she has a negative opinion about herself and that resulted in a very low self-esteem.
I want to talk to everyone out there on how important it is to think right about ourselves. We talk more to ourselves than we do to others and this is called "internal dialogue". It's just like a voice in our mind that speaks to us constantly.
What do you meditate on? Do you have a wrong thinking pattern??
Too many people are in mediocrity because of these negative self-talks. Some people are living far below their potentials because of a low self-esteem. Quit listening to the negative voice. You should talk to yourself with empowering and affirmative words deep down on the inside. You should prepare your mind and know you are well-able to make the best out of your life. Rise up in your authority and change for the better on the inside because God has something in store for you. You have to make sure you keep the right thoughts in your mind.
Do you know who you are?
You are full of potentials, you are overflowing with creativity and you can accomplish everything in your heart. You have courage, strength, ability and determination. You are blessed and cannot be cursed because you are made in the image of God. Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high and be victorious. That's who you are.
If you cannot get along with yourself, you won't be able to get along with other people. Embrace the right thoughts, keep the right attitude and watch yourself soar like an eagle. Get your "internal dialogue" in the right direction and this will instill confidence. Remember, "You might be poor but your mind is a palace". Treat it right by keeping the right thoughts. Have a blessed weekend!
