Self-Development: a Persistent Process of Learning

By -

I grew up in an orthodox Brahmin family during the mid-80s and early 90s. The bitter experiences and turbulent accidents affected my personality and mindset so profoundly and negatively that I lost my confidence entirely. Those childhood and teenage experiences made me timid and a person with no confidence. Due to which, I had to work very hard to be the person that I am today.

Some years ago, when I realized that I was left with no option rather than working on my mindset and personality, I started looking for ways that could be helpful. The very first aspect which I wanted to change about myself was to have a self-value which I hardly had. Nobody paid any attention to me or my viewpoints. No matter how hard I would try, no one gave any heed to me. We all are familiar with the fact that the feeling of being ‘No One’ hurts us a lot. Let me tell you that we all are living in the best era as there’s easy access to the internet. I started watching the motivational videos which were available on YouTube. The speakers such as Opera Winfrey,  Les Brown, Zig Ziegler, Jim Rohn provided me with a real insight into having a confident personality. I came across that life is not easy for most of us and we all have to grapple with the odds in our lives. But real winners are those who learn how to overcome the vicious incidences that take place in our lives.
So, first of all, I considered myself significant as if we wish others to respect us, we’ll have value us.  This change of thought created a magical impact on my behavior. I fell in love with myself and stopped behaving with me in a cruel and rude manner. (Earlier, I had a habit of rebuking myself for failures, problems and all the negative happenings which took place in my life.) I initiated congratulating me for small gains.

Then my next step was to change timid and scared ‘self’ to a confident one. I started working on my inner self. Positive declarations such ‘I can do it’, ‘I am confident’ and ‘I am a winner’ resonated with my inner self with positive vibration. It took me three months and I could see a wonderful transformation in me which helped me to be happy, gratified and empowered. Now, others’ viewpoints about me stopped hurting me.
My new and changed attitude attracted success and now nobody can even guess how frightened, diffident, shy and pessimistic girl, I used to be several years ago.
The process of self-development which I commenced years ago still continues as this a persistent and rigorous process. There are several new goals to achieve and I’m determined to grab them.
Are you also a pessimistic and fearful fellow? Kindly leave your comments and share your problems if you too wish to change your attitude and life. Let me tell you that happiness is our right and we should not live lives deprive of this wonderful attribute which is a key to success.
Best Wishes!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself f...

Dear All, Let's talk about a positive emotion...happiness. "Happiness starts as a tiny seed. Plant the seeds of happiness, then nurture them each day."                                                                                  -Meadow Linn, spiritual Coach It is very important for all of us to let ourselves know how to be happy. What gives us happiness? Is it  immense wealth, foreign tours, friends, branded shoes or a luxurious car....the list is very long. But these things make us gratified and happy for only a certain period of time. The moment...we fulfill one desire of ours, one more wish generates automatically. So what to do...how to be happy? What is your perception? Please share with me.. Mamta Sharma

Being Uncomfortable Leads to Success!! Friends, How are you? Let me ask you if you ever feel vulnerable. Do you ever find yourself out of your comfort zone? So what do you do to survive in such a situation? Despite our yearning to move ahead and progress rapidly with the changing period, many of us get scared when we are out of our secured position.    What is a comfort zone? Yes, today’s discussion is about COMFORT ZONE. Friends, comfort zone refers to be in a secured position which most of us love to be. I had read somewhere that real life happens out of comfort zones. If we expand our arena by coming out of our comfort zones, we will surely reach the pinnacle of success. What happens when we are out of a secured position?  While training the under-privileged children in an English class, I could experience the discomfort; the students were going through while introducing themselves to a large audience. I come across several people who seem to ...
