She always felt that she did not look beautiful. Actually, she felt that she looked ugly. She had a dark complexion and little plump. And whenever someone looked at her, she felt that he/she was making fun of her. She just focused on two things. Her complexion and body structure. She judged herself for that and she felt everyone else too.
When she came to me, I asked her to write her own good things which took her a while. In few days she was able to compile a list. Her work, her salary, her achievements, the way she handled people and then she realized, her beauty was in who she was rather than what she wanted to become. Beauty of an elephant is in being an elephant and beauty of a deer is in being a deer. She realized this after working on own strengths and then she started focusing on same. What she realized within few days was that people were complimenting her on her work and other things. She also felt that her skills were more coming to use. It was like someone removed the dust from her skills which had settled over years. She did not realize that it was herself who had settled this dust on herself.
In another scenario, one gentleman who grew up in a financially poor background. He really wanted to change his life. He had decided he did not want to die poor. However, he was unable to get rid of the thought process of being poor. So one day he finally sat down and wrote how rice he wanted to be. He also wrote down in finest of details that how his life would be, if he would become that rice. He slowly gathered the thought process which he really needed. He worked hard. He formed a real estate company and within few years, he was flying internationally.
In whatever way, if you really want to change your life, change what’s inside you. The way you feel about your life will change everything in your life.
