Believing in oneself promotes growth and individual development, because when we believe we can, we risk much more than when we think we are unable to do something, people who do not trust them are in the comfort zone and never explore anything new.
The inspiration for writing this article came from a conversation I heard while traveling on the subway: a woman in her thirties, introverted and discreet in appearance, was talking to a woman in her fifties who appeared to be her mother.
- From what I’ve heard.
- The woman had been unemployed for a few years and.
- Unfortunately.
- The sector in which she had experience was in crisis.
- She noted that the labor market was so difficult that she would have to look for work outside her area.
- As a waitress or cashier.
I was surprised by the response of her mother, who said she was not a cashier or waitress, as these were services for spontaneous and outgoing people. The woman agreed with her mother and resigned he he resigned he heed. The expression on his face completely changed from enthusiasm to discouragement in a minute. Suddenly, the possibility that could open the door to the labour market was abandoned.
I wondered, why did you do this to her? Even our family’s opinion shouldn’t influence us as much, only people who think bravely achieve the goal they want.
Confident people are those who do not let anyone interfere in their plans and, when a stranger doubts their personal worth, they move forward as if nothing had happened, they would never cancel the actions they thought they were taking, because of the opinions of others.
This situation made me feel helpless. The woman sitting across from me on the subway looked elegant, she looked good, but she was undervalued because she was an introvert and, by not believing in herself, she closed the door to new opportunities.
Each type of personality has its good side and its bad side, neither is better than the other, we must accept ourselves as we are, so that all the potential that we have within us arises.
Believing in yourself is essential to take the first step and embark on new experiences, if we do not dare to explore new paths we will never know the potential that we could develop.
This woman didn’t trust herself and the worst thing was that she let herself be labeled, believing that her personality didn’t correspond to what she wanted to do, never leave a comment like?Aren’t you capable!? Decide your decisions, even if that opinion comes from a family member.
These bad opinions should only serve to strengthen the desire to fight, because if you don’t try, you won’t know if you had done it right or wrong. I can not? Because ‘trust me and I’ll try’.
Believing in yourself is the most positive act we can give ourselves, because if you don’t even believe in yourself, who will?
When we accept ourselves and believe in possibilities, everything changes and what once seemed difficult becomes easier.
The proof is that many inseurgized people improve when they start dating, because they feel wanted and accepted. Love and acceptance allow us to make better use of what we have in us.
Discovering it for yourself, in love, in a friendship, in a family member, can positively stimulate our growth as a person, but even when you do not find it outside, it is possible to be within yourself, you can love and accept yourself. in a way that nothing or nothing negative affects you.
Most of the limitations we believe we have are in the negative way we think, if we realized all that human beings can do, with effort and self-confidence, we would be surprised.
The woman I mentioned in this article should have said the following to her mom: “That’s your opinion, but I think I can work perfectly as a waitress or cashier, because introspection is not negative, I have many other virtues that will undoubtedly be valued in my work. ?
If you let others tell you what you can and can’t do, you keep your inner potential from growing. Believe in yourself, get better and move on.
