Some people have all the qualities of becoming successful,
such as good education, intelligence, having
goals, focus,
energy and enthusiasm. Yet they are bogged down by self-limiting
beliefs and doubts, which prevent them from using their full
potential and experiencing true fulfillment from their effort.
They suffer from a nagging doubt that they might have achieved
success by chance and they may not really deserve it. If they
are successful in some venture, they experience disbelief and
even discomfort. When people try to appreciate them, they play
it down and try to change the subject.
Humility is no doubt a virtue. But in this particular case
what they show is not true humility, but self-deprecation. If
people cannot appreciate their own achievements and talents and
are not willing to take credit for their success, it is very
likely that they are victims of their self-sabotaging behavior,
which is a common malady, and which prevents many from being
what they are and what they can accomplish.
There are some, who have every talent you can imagine, but
have a problem speaking to others and seeking their help. They
would achieve success and prosperity, if only they venture out,
establish good working relationships and find people who can
help them in realizing their goals. There are some who are
wealthy and successful, but do not have the heart to feel good
about others and usually end up being distrustful, alone and
miserable.
This article is about how brilliant and talented individuals
can be happy and successful by mastering the art of
self-appreciation and self-acceptance and how they can live with
a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the blessings they
enjoy and the help they receive from others and the world in
general. It is about how we can learn to appreciate ourselves,
others, the world and our interconnectedness with the whole
universe and live our lives meaningfully and joyously.
