Are you satisfied on yourself? If you are, you are probably a totally positive or lucky person. In my case, I never feel enough satisfaction from myself. I want myself to behave better. After all, self satisfaction brings happiness in my life. There are two things I’m working on to give myself a little change.
I was extremely timid and negative especially to myself before. I had not realized that until my friend told me, “Don’t belittle yourself. You should know that is useless and stupid.” That was quite shocking words! Since then, I tried hard to laugh more, think beautiful sides of the world that I’m involved in and have a lot of conversations with people. As a result, I’m more like an optimist now. It really is a big development but I planned to be completely optimistic. It might be great if someone can do the same ways I do to change himself.
The first one I suggest is somehow childish. Looking at the mirror and put funny spell to myself. I’m sure somebody who tries this would feel awkward at first. It is highly recommended to do this step alone every morning. For example, I’d like to shout, “I’m the prettiest, smartest and happiest girl in the entire Universe!” Although your or my spell seem impossible or far from the reality, don’t mind it at all. It’s not a crime but a special charm. I assume that someday my spell will work.
And the other step is to see the good points of the people around me. Sometimes I even decide them according to rumors or their appearances. As a girl on the puberty, it is not always easy to consider every people as fine friend. So my best friend proposed this as a solution. If I can find good sides from others, I’ll be able to dig in marvelous points of mine. I expect this trial to take me smooth relationship between people.
While I put effort on these steps, I can be perfect optimist. Not only to myself but this will affect good to others as well. I believe happiness comes from satisfaction of myself and loved ones. In no time, I will reach my goal and make my life joyful and successful.
