What Really Makes You Feel Good??

There are three types of ways people use to feel good about themselves.

The first is that they do active things to feel good. Such as skiing, music, art, writing... etc...

The second is they recognize things within themselves that makes them feel good. Example, ideas, beliefs, qualities - what makes you up as a person (self appreciation) etc...

The third is using other peoples opinions to feel good. I have this, look at me, look what I can do etc..

The best ones to use are the pro-active ways to feel good; and the deep qualities within yourself that you recognise makes you feel good (self appreciation of who you are).

The third one is based on external reliance because if you didn't have these things, if you didn't look a certain way, if people didn't like what you have, then you wouldn't have anything!

You become reliant on what other people think instead of being your own personal resource of feeling good about yourself!

If you have to rely on somebody else's opinion to make you feel good, sexy, intelligent, smart, worthy... or if you have to rely on what somebody else created to make you feel good, or what somebody has (that you need) to make you feel good, then unfortunately you lack the ability to make yourself feel good about yourself!

Personal power comes from finding whatever you need WITHIN yourself!

Your I-pod sucks! Nobody cares about what you look like! Anybody can do that, you ain't that special! Keep on dreaming buddy!! Nobody gives a damn about what clothes labels you have!

If any of these comments stunt your growth (or make you angry) notice you are relying on something outside of yourself to keep yourself secure, instead of relying on something more powerful that comes from within!

Love my bum!

P.S. If you don't care about what I think, at least (take a moment to) care about how you think about yourself as a person.

Peace! ☺
