Every person, be it a child, a student, a professional or a retired person, in the beginning knows that he/she is special in one way or another. There are some who think, they are ‘just plain divas’ and would not like to change their character.
The important thing to remember is, they are special. And they need to appreciate themselves so as to gain the confidence to complete other things. It will be a lot easier if they accept themselves- there is no point arguing with a person who has already made that decision. In this case the best way to approach is, “everything and anything you say, I am getting into it.”
This means, patience and faith. Yet in times of hopelessness, the best advice is, ” discontent is natural but, breakthrough is divine.” The way to gain great intelligence is to plan to use all the skills and talents that you have. Use the talents that came in you so as to bring out those that are latent within you. It’s according to your faith and determination that you succeed.
The most vital skill is the habit of self-appreciation. This way there is no motivation to create more if you can’t appreciate yourself. In the process of appreciating yourself, you are improving your status. For instance, you will be more attractive to others. Or the advantage of having high self-appreciation is that you cannot moan over mistakes while it was your friend or your colleague who makes mistakes.
Here are some tips for self-appreciation.
1. Value good things you do.
This is easier said than done, but as you do and as other people do, appreciate them. They are not really bad as they are under the control of another person (the one who stole the money) or circumstances (the high temperature today, the month’s monthly consumption). So appreciate them and feel a sense of equilibrium.
2. Always start with yourself
It’s surprising to realize that even a child should be appreciative for others’ efforts and deeds, and not falling as prey to thoughts of unworthy colleagues. This way, you see them as people who have worth and are worth appreciating.
3. Manage your life with things that have little impact on you
The end is me and good memories. But start practicing now. Just because you use a rock doesn’t mean you should represent rock everywhere you go and 🙂 If someone has impressed you and has made you feel more human than the previous species, then it would be getting winsome.
Small compensation for accomplishing a lot.
One very good way is making a personal diary. This way you will not forget any details. It’s a sort of diary to remember you big efforts that you did. With this diary, you can just pick up where you left off.
4. Read good books
Quotes may be useful in any learning process. Some of the best motivational quotes are like a novel or a poem. So read an inspiring book. But remember this at all times – always use quotes with caution. They should not be used to express disrespect, or blasphemy or racism.
5. Treat others well
To be special among people, you must be treated well. It does not mean a kind of superiority. It means, you should demonstrates kindness and modesty to equal no fear of any one.
6. Learn to meditate
Meditation is a stress management technique and it is more important than stress management itself. It involves peace of mind and a positive state of mind.
7. Appreciate your parents, teachers and elders
If you smile at someone, appreciate his achievement and wait for the same in return. If you forget about your parents for a while, you feel you are neglecting your first obligation is to take care of your duty towards them.
8. Leaders are self starters, which means they raise themselves to the peak of interest.
These people are interested with themselves, with their families, or with their work. They lead well. Now, you cannot reach this kind of leadership, without being self-occupied with their interest, just as a soldier is occupied with his duty. Leaders are neither inclined to look on the brighter side nor to dwell on the unfortunate.
9. Socialize with the important people
Yes, they are special people. Even giant US President Abraham Lincoln wept when he couldn’t meet his friend and general Andrew Johnson. They used to call him asComing to their ‘ stocks.’
10. This ‘ness’ is a consequence of your achievements.
The big people get this what most people don’t, power. They don’t just have talent, they are better than people. They have developed their personalities.
11. Take a challenge
Do something that is just beyond your comfort zone.
