Is other people's life making you feel inadequate?

 


The feeling of being inadequate only comes when we compare our lives with others.

Most people live not to achieve what they truly want but to achieve something that can make them feel better than others. So no matter what they achieve in life, they always remain unsatisfied and discontent.

Never let others' life disappoint you. Appreciate your achievements, relationships, inner growth and strength. When you realise what you have, you will never feel any lack.


Are you on the right path in life?

 


The right path is the path of truth, a path led by our conscience. Anything we do against our conscience either turns into regrets of the past or hopelessness for the future.

When life brings us on a path, it is we who make a choice to follow it or not. Sometimes, we choose a particular path not because it is true but because it is very lucrative. We feel that a bit of wrongdoing won't make much difference, but our conscience remembers it and keep reminding us.

To live truly, led by your conscience. You will look forward to living every day of life and cherishing each moment of life you have lived.


Are you feeling strong enough?

 


You are strong, even though you may feel tired or broken. The only thing you must do is to keep trust in yourself.

Strong people don't have extraordinary strength; they just look at the positive side of life and, for every problem, try to find a way out. Sometimes, they may also face a big obstacle and feel exhausted. At that time, all they do is take a rest so that they can gather their strength again to continue. They may stop for a while but don't let their trust fall during this time.

To create strength within you, you need to trust yourself and the process of life. When you feel broken, pause and take time to rebuild yourself but don't give up on life.


Is your relationship losing its charm?

 


Keeping any relationship is a lifelong effort, but the effort needed is little and if you love that person, even making an effort for them gives pleasure and joy.

Apart from understanding, trust and support, people need to feel special in a relationship. This is where most relationships suffer. At the beginning of a relationship, we do anything and everything for each other, but after some time, we become too focused on ourselves that we forget about the needs of our loved ones.

Be there for your loved ones, involved in what matters to them, surprise them, gift them and express your love for them. Your relationship will remain full of vibrance.


 

How can self-confidence help to overcome the need for validation from others?

 


Being confident means that you rely on your own judgement about yourself. You acknowledge other people's opinions but don't make them a reason for disappointment.

When you lack self-confidence, you become dependent on other people's, opinion, judgement and suggestions to lead your own life. You become so reliant on them that everything you do is about pleasing them. When other people decide how you need to behave, act or live, you start living the life they want, not what you want.

Feel confident in yourself, no matter what others think of you. Take note of only those you know genuinely wish well for you, and ignore those who don't add value to you.


Does being kind make you strong?

 


Kindness can change someone’s life, but making a positive change you may deal with people who are harsh, unkind and want to bring you down.

Being kind is a great attribute because it is the way we give back to the world but at times some people might consider your kindness as your weakness and try to suppress you. In such a situation, you must not let others take undue advantage of you and not give up to them. We need to be kind but at the same time strong enough so that we don’t lose our self esteem.

Help others but remember you also need to help yourself. To help yourself, you must never accept wrong and take a stand against anything that affects your dignity.
