STOP CURSING YOURSELF
It has been studied and proofed beyond any reasonable doubt that what we confess and believe forms the inner us. Also what we frequently watch/see and think adds to the inner development of ones self. The environment we live in also adds a recipe to our life's.I was once taught by my computer teacher some years back that if you input cabbage data to the computer,the outcome is cabbage out, hence cabbage in cabbage out. this implies that if you enter wrong data to the computer,computer will accept and process for you wrong results. When we come to real life scenario,we may not deny our eyes from seeing anything,we may not tame our mind from thinking,we may not tame our mouths from confessing/speaking words.
Words have power. Words are alive. Words planted today may germinate in 10 years to come!the words we use to describe ourselves,our children,our environment/village have positive or negative results. We are who we think we are.We are what the environment dictates.How we see ourselves is exactly how others sees you. The Biblical story of Moses when he sent twelve men of israel to spy the promised land canan,two out of the twelve spies saw themselves as grasshoppers.
“And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” – Numbers 13:33.
The ten spies brought a negative report to Moses and the children of Israel.The men saw themselves as grasshoppers before the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, and the amazing thing here is that, the people in return also saw the Israelites as grasshoppers. It is interesting to note here that the inhabitants of Canaan did not first see the Israelites as grasshoppers, worthless and or unfit. It was the Israelites who first saw themselves as grasshoppers, worthless and unfit to match into war with the people of Canaan. We as humans serve as mirrors to others. How we see ourselves is a reflection unto others. How you see yourself is exactly how others see you. It is just as simple as that. If you see yourself through an eye of love, self-worth and of great importance, that is exactly how others are going to see you....
Those who are contolled by timid,shame,inferiority and fear are prone to failure. Those who maintain status quo and live mediocre live will achieve less or nothing in life..unless we believe in ourselves.
Words like..
- its impossible
- its hard
- so and so tried but he/she did not make,so who am i?
- we were like this and we shall remain like this
- this family had this problem even before we were born so we can manage it
- we are weaker than them,they have advantage than us
So from today, begin to see yourself as a very important person, a very unique person, a person who is loved and cherished so dearly by friends and family. Take out those negative thoughts, perceptions and ideologies about yourself and replace them with positives ones. You’re very special, a wonderful person created in the image and likeness of God. Be proud of yourself, feel good about yourself and love yourself. Cheers!
