This is your life. Own it!
Have you ever felt like a total failure? when was the last time someone made you feel like a total failure like you are good for nothing? For me, it’s very recent. Every day people make me feel whether it be my own family or the people at work. Now the actual question is - “why do we give anyone the right to decide if we are a failure or a success?”
I have heard people say “I’m not the one to judge how good or bad I did this”, you are wrong hun it’s you who should decide which side you belong to. Stop giving others the right. You can decide if you have succeeded or failed in something how?
well, see we humans are one weird being we know how to judge others' work unbiased but can’t do that when it comes to our own work why is that so?
I think for this we need to rewind and go back to our childhood. Even a baby seeks appreciation from others. He/she smiles when his family smiles. They become happy when others appreciate them now don’t get me wrong it's a wonderful feeling to be appreciated, validated by others but isn’t it unfair that that’s the only thing that can lighten you up, the only thing which makes you decide if your work is good enough? It is. And it’s in us all to seek validation. Is it bad? A little bit.
When was the last time you ever appreciated yourself without a 3rd party’s opinion? Yes, exactly my point. Never give anyone the right to call you a failure. You decide if you have failed or not.
Does that make you selfish? no way! that makes you self aware. You do your thing.
