“How you perceive yourself is how the others will see you.”– Paul Arden

You will receive what you give out. If you don’t feel good about yourself, that is exactly how the world will see you. But why are you not feeling good about yourself? Are you thinking others are better than you, or are thinking you are not where you supposed to be?

No one is better than you. You are who you are. You are where you are supposed to be right now. The opportunity you are looking for is right where you are. But if you don’t feel good about yourself, you will struggle to get things done.

You are unique. Don’t worry about what others are thinking of you. It is your duty to take care of yourself. It is not selfish to do that. If you don’t value yourself, no one will value you. When you value yourself, according to John C. Parkin, “What tends to happen is that the more you value yourself, the more the rest of the world will tend to agree and value you as well.” When you value yourself, people will value you. It is your responsibility to value your life. Are you willing and ready to do that?

Why Is It Difficult To Accept Rejection

Rejection hurts. But the real rejection is self-rejection. If you don’t reject yourself, no one can reject you. Rejection happens within you.

You don’t fear rejection. You fear the problems after rejection. If you want to deal with that, you must first accept yourself. Without self- acceptance, you cannot fight or cope with the issues that come with rejection. According to Bo Bennett, “It is not rejection itself that people fear; it is the possible consequences of rejection.” If you want to build a great life, you must conquer the fear of rejection. You must be in love with yourself. Love conquers everything. If you feel rejected, love yourself even more. With love, rejection is meaningless. With love, your world is bigger than rejection.
