Am I Good Enough? What Will Others Think Of Me?

I struggled with these questions for many years. As I went deeper, I realized I did not think I was good enough and hence I was looking for people to tell me I was good. 

Hence I was concerned about what will others think of me. 

I looked outside when I felt incomplete inside:) But if you look at it differently. 

AM I good? I AM good! The same words but the meaning changes when we re-arrange them. 

"AM I" is the question "I AM" is the answer :) Carl Rogers said it so beautifully 

"What I am is good enough if I would only be it openly" 

Self acceptance is probably the way to self growth! 

Do you think you are good enough? Are you being open about yourself? 

How can you become 3.5 times better than yourself? 

You must have read this: Improve yourself 1 percent everyday, at the end of the year, you will be 3.5 times better. It is a simple way to improve ourselves.

Here are 5 simple ways I follow to change myself everyday: 

1. Keep a diary where you can regularly write/reflect on yourself everyday, this clears confusion, helps you understand yourself better. It has changed my life.

2. Apply what you have learnt, even a small thing can produce amazing results. I studied psychology & started applying that learning to myself, it changed me.

3. Observe people around you & learn from them. I try to pick one good habit from each person I meet & try to implement it. It could be a small thing like the way the person smiles.

4. Getting into uncomfortable situations gives the most learning, failing is even better. The more uncomfortable you feel the more you are learning.  

5. Doing new things everyday, doing the same things differently, this helps us learn, grow & change. 

Please share what are the ways you learn & change.
