The first step towards a big improvement in our results in to change the way we think and talk about ourselves. We decide on our own self-image. We decide on our worth and decide how much happiness to expect.Our self-image determines our focus, or what we allow ourselves to think about. A good self image allows us to concentrate on compliments paid to successes we achieved.
Being egotistical and having a healthy self love are to be differentiated.
People with huge egos need to be the centre of attention, crave recognition and have little concern for those around them.
A healthy self love enables us to respect our own wishes as well as the wishes of others. It means we feel proud of our achievements without needing to broadcast them, and it means we can accept our shortcoming while striving to improve ourselves.
Lets acknowledge that it is ok to accept a compliment when it is paid to us. We don't have to perfect to accept with a graceful thank you.
