Dear
friend of Koikai, do you know and recognize that you are unique?
Getting
to know yourself is one important part of the growth process, but equally
important is loving and appreciating yourself. Self-deprecation is a habit,
just like all types of negative thinking.
Unless
you begin to appreciate your strengths, believe in yourself and reinforce your
true capabilities, you will not move forward in life! Sure, you might stumble
across the random opportunity and make some progress occasionally, but you
won’t accidentally achieve the level of success you desire.
FIRST
AND FOREMOST: CHOOSE TO FORGIVE YOURSELF NOW.
Forgive yourself for anything you may feel guilty about, for allowing fear to
hold you back from what you really want to do, for not believing in yourself,
for allowing other people to define you. Affirm that you did the best you knew
how to do, but now you know better and will do better.
SECOND: STOP
THE CYCLE OF SELF-ABUSE and begin honoring yourself for the
beautiful and brilliant person you were meant to be.
THIRD: BEGIN
A HABIT OF ENCOURAGING YOURSELF. Speak kindly to yourself
and affirm your ability to accomplish anything you want. Eventually, you will
begin to believe it.At the same time, WORK ON FORGIVING ANYONE WHO
HAS HARMED YOU, BELITTLED YOU OR HELD YOU BACK. Even though these
experiences may have affected you in profound ways, they do not have the
ability to affect you now unless you choose to let them.
FOURTH: LET
GO OF YOUR ANGER, HURT, DISAPPOINTMENT AND BITTERNESS. They
do not serve you, and they do not punish the guilty. They only punish you by
acting as a heavy weight bearing down upon your shoulders. If you release them,
you free yourself to create the joy and success you truly deserve.
STARTING
NOW, CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITIES. Believe that you can
form your life into anything you want it to be. Believe that you can overcome
any obstacle, strengthen any skill, tackle any challenge and conquer any fear
you may have. The more strongly believe you can do it, the more likely it is
that you WILL.
... It
really is a CHOICE!
Thank you
