Now that I have your attention, you were probably thinking, ‘oh how arrogant, he says he’s awesome!’
Why do people frown upon self-confidence and almost automatically want to smash the person who is feeling good about themselves?
Good question? I think so.
Society has conditioned us to believe that we are not adequate and somehow we have to achieve what the ‘norm’ is in order to be deemed amazing. I believe this is part of why we have, for the most part, this built in ability to criticize others- because deep down we simply don’t believe we have a right to be awesome unless we have accomplished something they’ve been telling us is our life goals, such as:
- Getting a high paying job
- Marrying
- Buying a house
- Having children
Quite the list, and quite an under-whelming goal, especially for those of us who do not view materialistic things as a measurement for success.
Basically, my message and thought today is about the idea of people supporting each other, but we can’t do that if we suffer from low self-esteem and go along with what the status-quo thinks is ‘awesome.’ If you noticed, I said you were awesome as well but I bet you dollars to donuts, you most likely focused on my belligerence rather than your own awesomeness. Got you there didn’t I?
Until next time,
