Self-Esteem and Empowerment

2 reasons why you have a difficult time creating your

own lifestyle

IntroductionHave you ever stop yourself from living

your own life because you are afraid of what other people might think of you?

Do you sometimes have difficulty trusting yourself and go with your instinct?

If you answered yes to any of the questions, then there are two main reasons why.

Follow the crowdFirst, you believe that your decision has

to match with other people in order for you to think that your decision is correct.

You believe that if no one agrees with you, then it is wrong or not the best thing for you to do.

For example, many people believe that the correct thing to do in life is to grow up, get married and develop a family.

Set your own time frameEven though at some point you might not want to

get married or develop a family, you are still likely to get married and develop a family because you believe that it is what you are suppose to do because that is what everyone else is doing.

Also, you believe that if you do not get married at a certain age, then there is something wrong with you.

Even though getting marry might be the right thing for you, it does not mean you have to get married at the same age range as everyone else.

You have to remember that each person is ready for things at different times.

Learn to control your human needs

The second reason is because you cannot control your two human being needs.

First, you have the human need to feel belonged and accepted by other people.

Acceptance usually begins through similarities. If you have a different life than other people, then

they will not accept you. The second human need is to live a meaningful

life. To live a meaningful life, you have to live your

own life that matches your own beliefs and values.

Keep your human needs in balance

When you try to develop your own life, you tend to suffer a little bit because your human need to be accepted is not being meant.

And then, that suffering might influence you to stop on creating your own life and try to blend in with everyone else in order to be accepted.

When you start to blend in with everyone else, you will also suffer because you are not meeting your human need to develop a meaningful life for yourself.

As a result, you are fighting with yourself between your two human needs.
