CONVERSATION WITH SELF

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

 
Sir,

We are always encouraged to say positive things to ourselves, especially when things are not going smooth in our lives or when depressed. We live in a time when we become more sad than amused.


We lose people we love, trust, depend on and people we look up to; we make mistakes or get entangled in situations which cost us our jobs; we fail assessments, courses, semesters or life changing examinations, which all cost us our dreams.


We make plans which never go as we wish; we put our hearts and minds on things that do a good job on causing us pain. We see opportunities and take them in attempts to make our lives better, and lose everything in the process.


Confused


We get confused and start losing faith in what we believe in, and go on to lose hope that things will ever get better.
We run out of plans or options on how we can make things okay, how we can regain what we’ve lost or how we can correct our wrongs. The truth remains, we can never undo our past, but we can colour our future brightly. We can stop crying over our mistakes and learn from them, only if we realise and not ignore them.


Future


After every downfall and the future begins to look bleak, we get stuck in our thoughts on where we should go or what we are supposed to do and how? But the first step is to remind self and comprehend that it all begins with you.


You know your mistakes, weaknesses, skills and strengths. Whatever you do or say to yourself determines how much you love or hate yourself. We tend to focus more on other people than self; what people do or can do to or for us. I don’t know why we never realise that we don’t have control over other’s opinions and actions towards us.


Putting much attention on others gradually makes us lose self. We never realise how effective it is to pay attention to what we say and do to ourselves. If you always say positive things to yourself, you supply yourself with enough confidence and improve your personality.


As a person, it is for your own benefit to spend time and get into a deep conversation with yourself. Remind yourself of what you’ve gone through, either good or bad, how you got there, and how it impacted your life. Spend time questioning your decisions and choices; ask yourself if whatever you choose to do reflects your personality or character; does it lie in the path towards your goals; or how beneficial will it be for you.


Decide


Decide carefully what you want to do and who you are doing it for; yourself or it is what others expect you to do? Does it serve you or your purpose or it serves your friends or family’s purposes. Does it make you happy or excited or it always makes you worry what others are going to say? In all instances, before you do, pray and ask God to lead you in everything. So that when you get confused, you consult him first before you turn to the world.
