Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 More on self-esteme and humility: Extend your positive self-image to others by focusing on what you like about them. Become a good acknowledger of people. Tell your children, your parents, your mate, your brothers and sisters, your co-workers what you like about them. Train your mind to see the good qualities in others. Often, we judge others automatically because we are afraid they will judge us. Don't atticipate attack. Let go of your compulsive need to defend yourself and make others wrong. Validate others. Let them know you see the goodness in them. Of course, acknowledging others is no substitute for their self-validation. But the power of loving words should never be underestimated. It is never too soon to tell a child good things about himself. Even when he is the womb, you can start this prenatal positive stimulation. Make sure, whenever you acknowledge others, you are doing this freely, without anticipation of any return. The joy of acknowledging others is that your own heart expands in the moment. Future return is irrelevant. Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
