Do you feel unimportant? Do others seem to ignore you all the time as if you never existed?
Whether it is due to our upbringing, or present failures in life, low self-esteem is due to the deception of thinking we are not as good, or lucky, as others are.
Once this lie is framing our mindset, we are bound for failure in everything we endeavor, because our thought patterns are messed up.
And it is right there, at the root of the problem, that we have to confront this lie.
3 Major Mistakes People With Low Self-Esteem Make That Mess up Their Thought Life
Here is a very a simple, common sense philosophy of life:
Discover your strengths
What you are really good at
What you love doing
In what field do others come to you to ask for help for?
What you choose to do in your free time?
Then develop it to its maximum potential until you can live from it. Bingo! You’ll never feel like you’re working again, because you love what you are doing! Goodbye to dreary Monday mornings and the weekly rat race.
Is it possible? It’s not only possible, it is (more…)
When things start getting difficult and seemingly insurmountable obstacles are blocking the road, people tend to forget God’s plan for their lives and the determination they had to pursue it no matter what happened.
Time also takes its toll. When we receive new revelations from the Holy Spirit, we get ecstatic and jump for joy, but with time the enthusiasm calms down and we may even forget what God is trying to show us.
This is where the habit of journaling becomes vital. It is when things don’t seem to go the way we expected them to go that we have to cling to what God initially showed us. And when we forget His initial directions, we have to be able to remind ourselves of His instructions to keep on track when circumstances are screaming at us.
Journaling may sound sophisticated, but it’s really very simple. All it requires is a(more…)
Has life turned into a drab sequence of colorless events that don’t seem to have any meaning anymore? Are you yearning for more purpose in your life?
If you have come to this point, I want to congratulate you. You are one of the few who knows, deep down inside, that there is more to life than what you have been told.
And you are probably on the verge of discovering it, because this dissatisfaction comes from God Himself, who is nudging you towards His marvelous plan for your life.
If you are ready for a color explosion in your life, take these three vital steps to discover God’s purpose for your life.
Having a desire to know His plan, but not the disposition to flow with His program. Most people miss it here. God wants our whole heart, not just half of it, or as much as we are willing to give. His plan is so far above anything we can imagine, that He won’t just throw it at us casually. Walking with God requires a 100% commitment.
Mistake #2:
Not taking enough time to spend with God and getting intimate with Him. It is impossible to hear from God if(more…)
Every one has been given a unique blend of God-given talents, gifts and callings that have the purpose of equipping them for a distinctive purpose in life. It is our task to develop these talents to their maximum potential and to walk faithfully in the plan God has predestined us for.
I am always amazed about the huge potential people possess,–and at the same time surprised by how little they are aware of it. Many choose (more…)
Do you feel like deep down inside you know there is more to life, but you don’t know how to make it happen? Is there something pulling at your heart that wants out?
It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut. Your routine takes over and suddenly you find yourself watching life go by. You have become a mere spectator and there is no meaning in what you are doing anymore.
Nevertheless, God created every human being with (more…)
The main reason for human inefficiency is that people simply have a poor self-image. Usually we have no trouble doubting our capabilities and accepting our shortcomings, but we struggle when it comes to convincing ourselves that we can achieve much more than we think.
The whole problem lies in our mind-set which has been framed by the information we have received about ourselves throughout our lives. And most of it is plain junk. If you have been listening to all those voices and heeding their message about what is and what is not good and acceptable, your self-image is probably not in a very good shape.
But you don’t have to stay that way for the rest of your life. You can (more…)
Does it seem to you that the rest of the crowd knows exactly where they are heading except yourself?
Contrary to what you may be thinking, your position is a good place to be in. It is that same dissatisfaction that will drive you to do something about it.
It is often in these moments of deep frustration that new doors are opened.
You are probably on the threshold of an important turning point in your life. It’s time to search for the right answers.
What is true success about anyway? The picture of a successful person the news media tries to sell us is that of a good looking young business man, or woman, who are enthusiastically waving their briefcase while they are off to work with a huge smile on their face.
In God’s eyes this is a very poor view compared to what He has in mind for us. The Bible says that “the blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow to it.”(Proverbs10:22)
God wants us to have a huge smile on our face while we are about to pull off yet another successful endeavor, and He wants to abundantly bless our finances too. But for Him it doesn’t stop there. He has greater plans for our lives.
Do you feel unimportant? Do others seem to ignore you all the time as if you never existed?
