Why You Are Amazing
When was the last time you told yourself that you were amazing? Was it last week, last month, last year, or maybe not even once in your life?
As humans, we always seek to gain validation from our peers. We wait to see if something that we did recently warranted praise or commendation. Either from our colleagues, our bosses, our friends, or even our families. And when we don’t receive those words that we expect them to, we think that we are unworthy, or that our work just wasn’t good enough. That we are lousy and under serving of praise.
With social media and the power of the internet, these feelings have been amplified. For those of us that look at the likes on our Instagram posts or stories, or the number of followers on Tiktok, Facebook, or Snapchat, we allow ourselves to be subjected to the validation of external forces in order to qualify our self-worth. Whether these are strangers who don’t know you at all, or whoever they might be, their approval seems to matter the most to us rather than the approval we can choose to give ourselves.
We believe that we always have to up our game in order to seek happiness. Everytime we don’t get the likes, we let it affect our mood for the rest of the day or even the week.
Have you ever thought of how wonderful it is if you are your best cheerleader in life? If the only validation you needed to seek was from yourself? That you were proud of the work you put out there, even if the world disagrees, because you know that you have put your heart and soul into the project and that there was nothing else you could have done better in that moment when you were producing that thing?
I am here to tell you that you are amazing because only you have the power to choose to love yourself unconditionally. You have the power to tell yourself that you are amazing. and that you have the power to look into yourself and be proud of how far you came in life. To be amazed by the things that you have done up until this point, things that other people might not have seen, acknowledged, or given credit to you for. But you can give that credit to yourself. To pat yourself on the back and say I did a great job
.
I believe that we all have this ability to look inwards. That we don’t need external forces to tell us we are amazing because deep down, we already know we are.
If nobody else in the world loves you, know that I do. I love your courage, your bravery, your resilience, your heart, your soul, your commitment, and your dedication to live out your best life on this earth. Tell yourself each and everyday that you deserve to be loved, and that you are loved.
Go through life fiercely knowing that you don’t need to seek happiness, validations, and approval from others. That you have it inside you all along and that is all you need to keep going.

5 Ways To Deal with Personal Feelings of Inferiority
Have you at some point felt that you are inferior to others? That’s normal. All of us, at some point in our lives, have felt the same. Growing up, we saw other kids who performed better than us in the class. Kids who played sports well. Kids who were loved by all. We got jealous. We felt inferior to them. We constantly compared ourselves to them.
Almost everyone has experienced that in their childhood. But do you still feel the same about others? Do you constantly analyze situations and people around you? Do you feel worthless? Then you probably have an inferiority complex. But the good news is you can get over this inferiority complex. We are going to list some of the things that will help you in doing that.
Build self-confidence
Treat yourself better. Act confident. Do what you love. Embrace yourself. Is there anything in your body that you don’t feel confident about? Maybe your smile, your nose, or your hair? The trick here is to either accept yourself the way you are or do something about it. If you have curly hair, get your hair straightener. Do whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
2. Surround yourself with people who uplift you
It’s important to realize that your inferiority complex might be linked to the people around you. It might be your relatives, your friends at college, your siblings, or your colleagues. Analyze your interactions with them.
Once you can identify people who try to pull you down, do not reciprocate your feelings, or are not very encouraging, start distancing yourself from them. Look for positive people, who uplift you, and who bring out the better version of yourself. Take efforts to develop a relationship with them.
3. Stop worrying about what other people think.
One major cause of inferiority complexes is constantly thinking about what others are thinking about us. We seek validation from them for every action of ours. Sometimes we are thinking about their actions, while sometimes, we imagine what they
