No one can motivate you better than yourself. Is that true or false?
Yes, this is absolutely true.One needs to trust his own abilities and work accordingly. Focus on your strengths and move ahead.One need not always have to find out his weaknesses and try to correct them, if this was the case then the great businessman like Dhirubhau Ambani would not have became a great business man. He was aware of his strengths and he focused on that only, for rest of the things he hired people.You must have watched the movie “Guru” right? His father was not really agree with his decision but he took the right decision because he was quite aware of his abilities. And the result is we all know.So, yes there are people around us, who support us and there are people who demotivate us too, but it's our decision and our choice is whether to give up or keep on fighting with our own self to be better. We just can't blame others.Stay blessed stay happy and keep fighting, you are already a winner.
Is it possible for someone to know you better than you know yourself?
Yeah it is. Your parents mostly, your siblings. There are a lot of people I know better than they know themselves because I always catch them before they start to do something…well…I guess that’s not better that’s as much as they know themselves.Most don’t believe until I do it…and it can rarely ever be done with people I’ve just met…but if you Google “Mind Science…Secrets Kept Hidden” it’s a good foundation and a good read on Quantum Theory will get you on the road as well.It will take some time to get there, so don’t expect miracles overnight…but then again…never say never.Thanks…
Why do people get jealous when you’re trying to better yourself?
Perhaps they want something you have. The will power to start doing something. If we all had that will power, there would be nothing undone in the world.Instead of being distracted by their jealousy, try being complimented. You are setting the example they want to become. That is a wonderful thing! Even if you do not succeed the first time, you tried. That is far more than many people!Keep searching and reaching for things you need or desire. Keep setting the example and showing people it is possible to step up and do it! Some will follow. If not this time, may be the next or the next. They have your example to thank!Hope this helps and take best of care!
Should you care more about others than yourself?!?
The Bible says to think of others as better than yourself. God says to trust him and lean not to your own understanding,to be humble and he will lift you up. Pride says take care of myself first and others are last to lift myself up, but humility says to look out for others as I would want for myself and sacrificially. This does not include anything that is not beneficial to others such as propping up their drug habits or accepting abuse on a continuing basis with no apology. Common sense tells you that you should take care of yourself also because for one thing how are you going to care for others if you do not take care of yourself? In order to live sacrificially, you need time with God and prayer. Everyone needs to pray for God's guidance in all things .
Why do we always have to strive to be a better version of ourselves? Is being happy with what we have not good enough anymore?
Being a better version of yourself does not mean haveing more out of life. Being a better version of yourself just means you want to be a better person than you are for other people. For instance, bad habits you want to break, emotional issues you need to solve, fixing your impulse control and or bad behavior, ect. Nobody is perfect however that’s not excuse for being a shit person, so we strive to be better than we were before and overcome the obstacles that hurt others and ourselves.To explain the other half of the subject though we should never settle for any less than the lives we desire to live. We should always be thankful for what we have, but we should never stop striving for what sets our souls on fire.In conclusion, We must always strive for what we believe is best and never settle for less, however you are right. We should also be greatful for what and who we have in life for that is also equally important.
People say that you should never try to be better than someone else. What exactly is wrong with trying to be better than other people?
The problem with trying to be better than someone else is that you're defining your goals in terms of someone else's accomplishments. That means you have no actual control over your target. If you do something great, but this other guy does something slightly better, you're now a failure. That tends to create poor self-esteem, because it cuts off the connection between effort and achievement, and it promotes resentment of the other guy's accomplishments, because you fail by comparison when he accomplishes more.Wise men have often said that the only person you should try to outdo is your former self. If, in the process, you outdo other people as well, that's fine, but the important question is whether you're improving and how fast. If you do that, you shouldn't spend too much attention on whether others are doing better.
I love myself better than you, I know its wrong but what should I do ?
"In order to say 'I love you,' one must first be able to say the 'I." your on the right track....the trick is to balance love 4 yourself and self-obsession ;)
How do you feel when someone is better than you/smarter than you?
I feel intimidated. I feel stupid. I feel embarrassed. I feel uncomfortable.And this happens to me frequently. I suspect part of the reason for that is that I love to be in the company of people who are smarter than I am.I approached Luis Alvarez to be my supervisor for my Ph.D. work. At the time, it seemed that everyone in the Physics Department at Berkeley considered him to be the smartest person they had ever known. Years later Richard Feynman told me the same thing about him. So most of my time with Alvarez was one of awe and a strong feeling of inferiority. I consoled myself that even if I eventually learned just a little of what he knew, what he could do, it would be an enormously valuable eduction.One day I recall putting my hand to my head and pretending to turn a key. I called it my “ego key” and I had to turn it off in order to keep working with Alvarez. Forget ego; just learn everything I could possibly learn.I recall when I first joined JASON (Alvarez had nominated me) and I found myself working with dozens of people, every day during the summer, all of whom were vastly smarter than I was. They included Freeman Dyson, Dick Garwin, Steve Weinberg, Mal Ruderman, Walter Munk …. I remember the stress that being surrounded by such smart people triggered in me. But I took solace that I was in the most stimulating, learning enviroment that I could imagine. I knew it would be tough, but if I could survive, I would emerge as a much better scientist.I survived. I later learned that it was a member of the Jason group who nominated me for my MacArthur Prize. In my mind, every one of the other Jasons qualified for that prize. I was somewhat awestruck to discover that any other of Jason actually considered me to be smart.This habit of keeping myself surrounded by super smart people continues today. It has not gotten any easier, but it has remained extremely stimulating and a great way to learn at a very deep level.I’ve tried to teach my children (and now my grandchildren) not to avoid discomfort. All adventures are characterized by discomfort. I recall some of mine: being lost in a deep cave, backpacking off trail in snow and sleet with no prospect of shelter for the night, wandering around in Moscow, struggling to find a way to study the Big Bang, facing a steep slope in Squaw Valley, writing a book, being a member of Jason ….
