Live in thepresent when you stop trying to change your behavior, and you'll become like achild, becoming comfortable with yourself and ultimately believing in yourself.
Letsconsider for a minute that your life has a rewind button and you go back intime. On retrospection of your childhood, what do you see? Do you see the sameyou that lives in the present? Or are you picturing a different personaltogether?
You startedoff your life in a jovial manner as a kid, not thinking a lot and doing prettymuch whatever you wanted. As you grew up, you started getting trained to behavein a certain way and got punished whenever you diverged. This made you questionyour behavior and ultimately your own worth over a period of time. In otherwords, you started getting uncomfortable with being yourself. Today, you nolonger are that happy-go-lucky kid with carefree demeanor that you used to beonce upon a time. Instead, you think unnecessarily and excessively, more oftenwhen it is least required.
This hasresulted in you having deep ingrained inhibitions.
Most of you are threatened by the idea that other people are emotionally andphysically concrete than you. While this might be true in some cases, most ofthe times it is just a hurdle that YOU create. Ask yourself this even if theyare physically or emotionally stronger, what can you do about it? The answer isdisheartening but true - nothing. You cannot control others. The only personyou can control and change is yourself.
If you have waited for the moment to arrive when you could change yourself, youhave my congratulations because the moment has indeed arrived. That moment isNOW. Now is the moment to completely embrace yourself the way you are. Acceptthe fact that you still have that inner-kid with care a damn attitude aliveinside. Stop being an adult for once. Go back to the days of school and be akid once again. Dont care what the world thinks of you and be absolutelycomfortable in your own skin. You need to realize that layers of rubbish havebeen piled on your mind over the years. Its time to shake those piles off andlet your mind fly free. Understand that below these layers, your mind stilllies pure and beautiful as it was when you were a kid. Instead of taking whatothers tell you about yourself as gospel, make an effort to know yourself andform opinions of your own. Cease mending yourself all the time and start lovingyourself for who you are. Discard the negative thoughts that suppress you andavoid negative self-talk. Enlist your accomplishments and be proud of them,however meager they might be. Get up everyday and tell yourself that you lovebeing who you are.
Believe in yourself and the world will believe in you.
