I speak with many people who are holding on to stories from their childhood about not feeling good enough. They remember scenarios of being neglected, not having "good enough" grades, not feeling pretty enough. You know what? They have taken these stories and let them grow into reality. How? By continually watering their thought seeds with others beliefs. 我同许多打小就感觉自己不够好的人们交谈。他们一直记得自己被忽视、取得“不够好”成绩、自我感觉不够好的场景。而你可否知晓,他们把这些事往心里去,并使之成为现实。怎么做到的?还不是他们不断让自身的想法在他人看法的浇灌下萌发。 I remember an instance when I was probably 10 and my mother told me I had a booger in my nose. She told me out of kindness before leaving the house but still I felt crushed. This simple instance has stuck with me. I let it grow into being by watering it with my fear and thoughts of not being good enough, an embarrassment, even ugly. 我记得曾经在我十岁左右,我母亲告诉我鼻子中有个鼻屎。她在出门前善意地将这告知于我。可我仍然感到崩溃。这件小事一直膈应着我。我任它发展成恐惧、自我感觉不够好、尴尬甚至是认为自己长得丑的想法。 No more. I will not allow this seed to grow any longer. I will take responsibility for my thoughts and not put the responsibility or blame on others. I choose my thoughts. I choose how I feel about myself. |
