Article reflection- How to get the most out of yourself

We get up in the morning and wash our face in front of a mirror. If another person comes to the mirror, you can often hear whining of that person. She/he says ‘I am not fit enough, my hair is bad, and nobody will like me etc.’ However, normally that person’s weight is normal and his hair is perfect. Actually this perfectness makes us lack of self-confidence. This self-confidence is important in all places of our lives. As the writer of the article mentioned in his writing, self-confident people come to important places. They conquer themselves firstly. They have the self-acceptance and they know their abilities. We can understand from the author’s clear statements that people need to focus on not the obstacles but the abilities they have. When we think abilities as cars, they become vehicles to get us to the future. However, limitations are broken cars and they just take us to the hills. As a customer looking for cars, we need to be careful. Because nobody wants broken cars or cars to break down in a few days. All type of cars is in front of us, but we need something very important: self-confidence. If we cannot deal with ourselves, we will not be able to deal with the seller, and then we cannot reach the perfect cars and cannot go to the future and success. 

In this video, Robert E Najemy tells us about lack of self-acceptance. He says ‘When I do not believe in love, then I cannot feel the others love towards me.’ How can a person feel something that he does not believe in? There is something similar also. A person can feel nothing for another person. He/she may not accept that person. He/she may not want something good for him. And this occurs in person’s inner side also. One part of the person does not want good things for the other side. As a result, that person wants nothing good for himself, because he does not accept himself.
