Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Everything and everybody else close to you may become Dart Pins, at one point or another. These dart pins will destroy your self esteem and pull you down in ways you won’t even remember. Don’t let them destroy you. So which dart pins should you avoid?
Dart Pin #1 : Negative Work Environment
Beware of “dog eat dog” theory where everyone else is fighting just to pull ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. Most of the time you get to work too much without getting help from people concerned. Competition is at stake anywhere. Be healthy enough to compete, but in a healthy competition that has.
Dart Pin #2: Bad People’s Behavior
All these kinds of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement scheme. Such as bulldozers, brown nosers, gossipmongers, whiners, backstabbers, snipers, people walking wounded, controllers, naggers, complainers, exploders, patronizers, sluffers.
Dart Pin #3: Changing Environment
Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way we think. Changes will make life difficult awhile, it may cause stress but it will help us find ways to improve our selves.
Dart Pin #4: Past Experience
Don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.
Dart Pin #5: Negative World View
Don’t wrap yourself up with all the negativities of the world. Learn it how to make the best out of worst situations.
Dart Pin #6: Determination Theory
You have your own identity and unique. If your father is a failure, it doesn’t mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from other people’s experience, so you’ll never have to encounter the same mistakes.
Being positive, and staying positive is a choice. Building self esteem and drawing lines for self improvement is a choice, not a rule or a talent.
In life, its hard to stay tough specially when things and people around you keep pulling you down. Life’s options give us arrays of more options. Along the battle, we’ll get hit and bruised. And wearing a bullet proof armor ideally means ‘self change’. The kind of change which comes from within. Voluntarily. Armor or Self Change changes 3 things: our attitude, our behavior and our way of thinking.
Building self esteem will eventually lead to self improvement if we start to become responsible who we are, what we have and what we do. When we develop self esteem, we take control of our mission, values and discipline. Self esteem arranges self improvement, true assessment, and determination. So how do you start putting up the building blocks of self esteem? Be positive. Be contented and happy. Be appreciative. Never miss an opportunity to compliment. A positive way of living will help you build self esteem, your starter guide to self improvement.
