You define yourself!

We grow up with certain believes. Believes that can make-or-break-us. As a child we are moulded by our parents, teachers, friends and family. Perceptions about society, about who we are, how they want to see us, what are their expectations, their age old believes they are grown up with, etc...etc, are consciously or subconsciously transferred to us.

Believes like-

  • 'I can't do it.' This can be because one of your teachers, once choose someone else instead of you. She empathised to you saying that you are not that good as the other person is. That childhood belief is sown in your system. 
  • Believes like girls like pink, guys like blue. Who says so? We believe it too that extent that if a guy wears pink, it's too gayish.
  • 'I have a dark complexion, I feel inferior.' Even our advertisers make money selling this thought. We are surrounded by such stupid beliefs that do not hold true. Accept what God has given, cherish and enjoy in your skin.
  • 'I lose people whom I love and care.' Sometimes people think this after a loss of someone very close.
  • 'Nobody loves me.'
  • 'Everyone I meet is selfish.' When people take undue advantage of you and then leave. This feeling develops.
  • 'Everything I do is just not enough. What's wrong with me?' My question is- who defines that you are not good enough? Your exes, your siblings or your parents, or maybe someone else. NO. If you do not meet expectations of someone, it doesn't mean that you are not good enough. 
  • 'If it's not perfection, then it's ordinary.'
  • 'My sibling is better than me.' This is very common. Most of the siblings strongly feel that parents love the other one more than them. Where does this belief come from? For sure some actions or words from parents or sibling must have developed this.
  • I am not healthy. One thing gets over and other starts.'

Can you relate to anyone of these? These are just a few thoughts that grow within us. Such thoughts are like plague, if not identified and cured they will eat us. Don't let people decide for you what you are. Our limitations should not be framed and cultivated for us from other's point of view.

I have a friend, whose parents gifted him a tee with a slogan, 'First class or no class.' Since childhood he has always been an extraordinary, full of perfection until lately he is bogged down by it. Whatever he does, he is never satisfied. It is difficult to lead a life of perfection. It was his parents insecurity that was passed on to him. Life's beauty is not in perfection, but to be imperfectly beautiful.

I am no preacher. Maybe, a friend with a big sign board saying, 'STOP, hear me out'. :) Identify the fears or other's insecurities poured upon you. YOU ARE WHAT YOU DEFINE YOURSELF!

To make it more crisp and clear, loud and promising. Just see the video. Live it. Soak it. Believe it.


P.S.- This is one of my favourite scenes from movie, 'The Pursuit of Happyness.'
