From my experience, we're all guilty of it to a certain degree. We have that inner voice constantly doubting us, questioning our self-worth and making us feel, well, shit.I've been on a journey of self discovery for sometime now, it's taken me a long time to make the kind of headway I wanted to with my mindset, and the main reason is because of that little wanker inside my head giving me shit all day long.Over the last decade or so that voice has been increasingly louder, with every set back and upset his power grew, pushing my self-esteem, happiness and fulfilment into the dirt. The worst part of it is, when it's happening and you're in the middle of it, you often don't even see it.It happens gradually over time, the more that doubting voice is right, the more we trust it. The more we trust it the more miserable we become. I've only recently been able to appreciate failure for an opportunity to grow, I've said the words before sure; either we win or we learn and all that nonsense, but I've never been ok with failure until now.You see you don't win or learn. You win or lose. You can learn when you win, you can learn when you lose but the determining factor to learning in either case is your mindset. Your self-worth, self-awareness, self, self, self!! If you don't truly know, understand and LOVE yourself, you will never find true happiness. Everyone pumps it in to us from an early age not to be a dick when you win (and that is right, we should stay humble). And it seems that people love to put people down to improve their own social status. This kind of behaviour has a big impact on us through our lives, as we avoid any form of self-praise, most of us can't even accept a compliment without lessening it's impact.We should be humble, but we also need to learn to accept compliments, praise ourselves for what we do well and being ok with appreciating yourself. Life is too short to be miserable and all this negativity in around us will make us bitter and unhappy. Trust me, I've been living it, on a path to misery for the past 30 years of my life.I have been spending much time searching within, learning about myself, having empathy for my flaws and embracing my strengths. I think I've had a huge breakthrough in my life, because at a time when I have less than ever, I am the happiest I have been for as long as I can remember.Happiness isn't found in material things, it is found within. When you're truly happy, your life will be full of joy. Abandon your resentment, embrace your mistakes and shortcoming. Have empathy for yourself, understand and then let go of your faults, and hold on to your positive actions, behaviours and traits.I hope we can all be more positive, and make the world a better place.
