I've noticed that especially women belittle themselves easily. Maybe we want to please everyone and soften our opinions.. Maybe we are afraid of what other people think about us. Or we think that saying aloud that we are good in some way is selfish love and negative boosting?!
❤
Being humble is beautiful but at the same time we have to respect ourself. We have to hold the field and not allow anyone to hurt us in any way. We have to know that we are good enough and we deserve good.
❤
I think that downplaying ourselves all the time goes against us. How can someone take us seriously and respect us, if we don´t do it ourself? I also think that it´s important and great that we can say to ourselves that we have received and earned our own success.
❤
Many times if we succeed we are almost a bit ashamed of it. We say that we achieved something because of others or good luck... But come on, you have done a lot of work, made difficult decisions and sacrifices, why couldn't you give yourself a big high five for the good job?!
❤
Moreover, we don't always know how to take compliments.. Why is it sometimes so difficult just to say thank you for them.
I still start by downplaying things that others might admire.. I don´t even notice that but always after this kind of situations I think to myself why did I answer by belittling instead of just saying thank you?!
❤
Have you noticed these things?
