Do you ever feel proud of yourself? If so, how do you go about feeling proud? Can you use others to help boost your self-esteem, or are you a loner who needs to feel confident in your own skin?
There are those who have little self-esteem but still try to make it big. They might put on a show that they think they're worthy of success. They might hide behind their past to convince you that they're not as good as someone else. Have you ever been on the receiving end of this kind of treatment? I can tell you that it can lower your self-esteem considerably.
On the other hand, there are people who truly feel magnificent. Who view themselves as the center of attention, the center of their world, the center of the universe? They don't worry what people think of them. They take pride in themselves and look down on those who treat them poorly. And when you treat them badly, they treat you poorly.
Some people have an extra degree, a skill, or a specialty that sets them apart. Sometimes their talents are in areas that are less known, less appreciated, and not studied as much. But these people feel proud in their fields. They aren't concerned with what other people think of them, and they don't let trivial things go to their head.
Some of us are a bit timid and shy. We can't speak up for ourselves, and we don't like to attract undue attention. Sometimes our courage to be ourselves is just too great. But when you are proud, you act on your instinct - your gut, in fact.
We are all unique. Some of us are outgoing and fun, others are introverted and serious. Some of us have high standards and expectations for themselves, and others have low standards and expectations for themselves. But we all have something to offer. We all have our strengths. And we should use our strengths to our advantage, and work to reach the goals we have set for ourselves.
The greatest challenge we face in life is not from other people but from within ourselves. We can control our thoughts and actions. We can control our behaviors. But most importantly, we have the ability to think right and feel right. If we feel proud, it is because we know our abilities and strengths.
We can use our high standards to become better human beings. High standards are an important part of personal success, and they don't come between you and who you are. If you aren't proud of yourself, then you have nothing to be proud of. So start being proud. You'll be surprised by how good it feels.
It is easier to be proud of yourself when you have something that you're very attached to. Be proud of your great business idea or your wonderful home. You have a lot to be proud of if you have the objects that will support your pride. Have them around your place. They will help to make you feel proud.
There is no better way to make someone else feel proud than to tell them about your achievements and successes. Everyone loves to hear about themselves. Try to be very forthcoming and honest. If you have a great reputation, make it known. Make sure that you do things that will promote your high standards.
Remember that when you start being proud, there are going to be some things that you need to do to be really proud. The best thing to do is to make sure that you do everything that is required of you to promote your status. You can't be proud of the small things. Focus on the big things. By doing this, you will soon find that you have a large number of high status friends.
To tell the truth, it is easier to be proud of yourself when you know that you are doing the right thing. Your actions should match your words. Do not lie to yourself, because it is only going to come back to bite you in the end.
