Je suis un chat.
That means I am a cat in French.
I was taught that when I was, ooh, lets see, maybe 11 decades
old?
I studied French until I was 18, in fact I was quite dazzling at it.
Despite the fact that my teacher said I had one of the worst accents she
had ever heard, I got a great grade A Level.
I think may actually remember saying Je suis un chat in the spoken exam.
Whereas this phrase I am a strong and worthy human
Or this one I may achieve anything I want to achieve
Well, no, I can not
remember being taught either of those.
Ok, I may accept the possibility that if I come back in the next life as a cat,
(who lives in France), it might be fairly handy to be able to say Je suis
un chat, but *this* is what I struggle with, *this* is what keeps me awake
at night
Why, oh why, was I taught that phrase, but not the other two?
I am a strong and worthy person.
I can achieve anything I want to achieve.
These two, repeated morning and night, outloud, and fairly often throughout the
day, will give you an increased level of self-esteem immediately.
Dont believe me?
Try it.
Go on, right now as you read this, say it outloud, I am a strong and
worthy human
.
You will *feel* stronger and worthier.
If we accept the failings of our education, as well as appreciating the
sizeably effective bits, we may see the gaps in our data
, and educate ourselves.
Self-esteem books cost only a few dollars, or you might
get them in a library.
Most of us generate no effort whatsoever to educate ourselves in adult life.
We rely on what we we are
taught at school, and in my view thats the
reason most of us dont even come close to realising our lifes potential.
If you take the time to look at yourself, learn something new, you can
wrestle back the reins of your life and take your life in whatever
instruction you choose.
Teach yourself and reap the rewards.
You might not have been taught it at school, but by jiminy you may teach
yourself now!
So why *arent* we taught self-esteem at school?
Je ne sais pas! (I do not
know!)
