What is the normal thing to do when someone pays you a compliment? - knock it down right?
What do you say when you talk about yourself? Negative things I'm sure.
Why are we always so hard on ourselves? It's almost as if we feel guilty for feeling good about ourselves, either that or we're so pre-programmed to think that we will always be mediocre that we've come to accept that as gospel. We assume that we'll never amount to anything. That greatness is really meant for the other guy.
Would it be that bad to think the best of ourselves and when someone pays us a compliment, we just say nothing more than 'Gee, Thanks.'
How hard would that be?
To do the un-usual thing.
