The e-Minute Tips on Motivation, Leadership and Sales

You have the right to like yourself as you are.

We all came into this world as miracles - high tens. We got exposed to family, religion, education, politics, etc. and over time we have internalized many external messages. We have created our own barriers, fears and limitations and consequently we have become who we are today. We have been our own worst enemy. Now it is time to review your beliefs about yourself.

When I was young I was told I was cute. Having heard it many times, I started to believe I was cute - it gave me confidence, self-esteem and self-respect. However, life is about balance. I became a teenager with a bad case of acne. I was told I was ugly by the people I cared about. I became extremely shy. I avoided people. I found it difficult to look at myself in the mirror. I lost my self-esteem, my self-respect and confidence and hence my teenage years.

It wasn't until I was about 18 years old that I decided to look into the mirror - first without cloths and then beyond that layer of skin that everyone judges us by. I came to a great realization. If I did not look into the mirror I would not see my acne. Therefore, if I don't see it, it is not my problem, but the problem of those who look at me. That day, I made a decision - to live my life from the inside-out. Yes, I had acne, but I liked the guy inside. As I realized this I started to get out of my shell. In fact, I eventually gained enough self-confidence and self esteem to live my dream as a professional speaker/trainer.

I like myself as I am. I know myself, my values, my strengths and my weaknesses, and my dreams and desires. However, there are things about myself that I want to change and we will discuss that in two weeks.
