I get discouraged easily

[scorpio_89]

I think some people I know, notice that I'm a person who loves to admire talents,intellect,beauty and what-not. In short, I'm an admirer. Because I'm not into myself. Why do I think this way? because I see a lot of flaws in my whole self. I have dreams,ambitions,aspirations. I love music, I'd love to have my own band and be the vox who plays the guitar. I want to be successful in anything. But how can I, if I can't even pull myself together? Yes, I can't! I think I'm not good enough. There are times that I am trying to be positive, but reality speaking, it's hard to pretend that everything's fine! Especially when I overhear someone criticizes me. I'm really sensitive. I'm weak. I just can't get these negative emotions/thoughts away! It's extremely hard! I don't know what to do in life. Well, I know what I want, but I just can't take actions!

why not count your blessings instead than being envious at others?

[scorpio_89]

Uhmmm.. I guess, you don't see my point. Yeah of course I envy at some successful people I mean who doesn't?. But I'm not saying that I'm not grateful for what I have! It's just that, it seems like there's something missing. Naa koy ambition, dream.. pero wa ko ga take ug actions para ma-reach nako akong gusto. Because I lack of self-confidence. And that's the issue.

Self-confidence is a state of mind. If you keep minding others then wa jud kay mahimo. When you wanna do something, then just do it an pour your heart into it. Do things with resolve. If somebody criticizes you, let them, but drive yourself to do better. Ako, I like being criticized, because they are offering me a challenge. Challenges drive me to be better, not to say I quit. It's like jumping off a bridge into deep water, It's only the first time that's difficult. Unless you push yourself to jump that first jump, you will be forever be that person looking down from the bridge, envying others who are swimming with the current.

to know what you want is a good first step.

I know what you mean, I feel that way sometimes. Pero ambot lang nga mokalit naman pud ug likoy ning akong utok!

I understand you too...I wasn't born confident. It takes experience to develop a mind of steel. Ako I just made that leap, both literally and figuratively, niambak jud ko ug bridge to conquer my fear. Haven't looked back since.
