Believe in yourself: don’t let them label you

There are people who spontaneously, due to their personality, are capable of believing in themselves. But, for those who do not find it so easy, we will show you a solution

Believing in ourselves allows us to develop and grow, because if we believe that we can, we will risk much more than if we think that we are incapable of doing something. People who lack self-confidence stay in their comfort zone and never explore anything new.

“The eyes of others are our prisons; your thoughts our cages.“

-Virginia Woolf-

The importance of believing in yourself: A brief story

A young girl, with an introverted and discreet appearance, was talking to a woman who looked like her mother. From what I heard, she had been unemployed for years and from what she had experience it was the sector that had fallen the most with the crisis. The girl pointed out that since the job market was so difficult, she would have to look for work of any kind.waitress, cashier…

I She was surprised by her mother’s scolding tone and told her that she wasn’t fit to work as a cashier or waitress., that this was for spontaneous and extroverted girls. The girl agreed with him and agreed. The expression on her face changed completely, she went from excited to discouraged. Suddenly, that possibility that could open job doors for him was closed.

I asked myself: Why does he pay attention to him? Not even the opinion of our family should influence us. Only people who think in a winning way get what they want.

The merit of believing in yourself

People with winning minds are those who don’t let anyone interfere with their plans. and when someone from the outside doubts their personal worth, they continue ahead anyway. They will never cancel actions they had planned to carry out because of the opinion of others.

That situation made me feel helpless. The girl in front of me sitting on the subway seemed intelligent, with good looks, but she was undervalued for being an introvert, and by not believing in herself, she was closing doors for herself. Each personality type has its good and bad sidenone is better than another.

Acceptance is the first step

We need to accept ourselves as we are so that all the potential we have inside comes out. Believing in yourself is essential to take the step of taking risks and embarking on new experiences. We will never know the potentials we could develop if we do not dare to explore new paths.

This girl did not trust herself and what was worse, she allowed herself to be “labeled” believing that her personality would not fit what she wanted to do. Never let a comment like: “you can’t” stop you in your decisions.not even when that negative opinion comes from family members.

“Believe in yourself, have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your power, you cannot be successful or happy.”

-Norman Vincent Peale-

These bad opinions should serve to boost the desire to fight, since if something is not attempted, one cannot know if it would have been done well or badly. Change the “I’m not capable” for “I believe in myself and I’m going to try.” Believing in oneself is the most positive act that we can give to our person, because If you don’t believe in yourself, neither will others.

Love and acceptance transform

When one accepts oneself and believes in one’s possibilities one transforms., and everything that seemed difficult before becomes easier. The proof is that many insecure people make a big change when they find a partner who makes them feel loved and accepted.

Love and acceptance make each person bring out the best that they have inside.

Finding it outside, in a partner, friendship, family, can positively encourage someone to grow as a person. But when you don’t have it on the outside, you can achieve the same effect if you create it inside yourself. You can love and accept yourself in such a way that nothing negative they say to you affects you.

Most of the limits we think we have are in our negative way of thinking.. If we realized everything that a human being can achieve, with effort and self-confidence, we would be amazed.

In short, the girl I was talking about should have told her mother: “That is your opinion and I respect it, but I think I can perfectly work as a waitress or cashier., because introversion is not negative, I have many other virtues that I will surely value in my work.” If you let others tell you what you can’t do, you won’t let your potential grow. Trust yourself, value yourself and move forward on your path.
