In this blog, I would like to expand on how to overcome inferiority complex. Every person on earth has unique properties, from personalities to qualities and skills, we are all different in some way, but oftentimes we struggle and want to be like someone else.
You may have an inferiority complex because you think you are not as good as others or that you’re not good enough to be accepted by the people around you, but it’s time for a change. This is your chance to overcome this feeling and stop worrying about being “not good enough”.
It’s hard to change how we see ourselves, but if we want something different from what we have now, then we must do something different from what we’ve been doing before. You can’t be different from others if you don’t know who you are. In his book the 15 laws of growth John Maxwell states the law of awareness as “You must know yourself, to grow yourself”.
If your life is a mess, it’s because of the way you see yourself and the world around you. But there is hope! There is hope because you can change the way you see yourself and what you have believed about what you are capable of.
The truth about who we really are is a simple knowledge of understanding that there is a higher power over our lives and that our successful life has been created and finished before we were born. Holding on to this as truth will not only change your life forever, but it will also help you overcome your inferiority complex once and for all!
It’s never too late to start feeling better about yourself or become more confident in everything that you do. Learn how to overcome inferiority complex using these four powerful tips.
Firstly, Overcome the Negative Idea In Your Mind That Is Stopping You From Manifesting Your True Potential.
This can be done effectively through imagination. It is possible that this belief has been engraved into you, and thus is causing a mental block of other opportunities or possibilities in your life. Everybody has a hidden power to change any engraved thoughts, or any thought that is not blessing them. Within you is the power to be successful, happy and the ability to create the life that you want.
The biggest problem that many persons face is in their own minds. If you have a negative mindset, it stops you from achieving the success you want in life. It can be difficult to overcome a negative thought pattern because you have been thinking negatively for so long. But there are ways to change your mindset and take control of your thoughts.
If you have a limiting belief that is blocking you from achieving your goals, this might be the reason why you are not living the life that you want and deserve. The good news is, there is no need to feel bad about it because this can be changed through meditation and visualization techniques.
Imagine how great it will be when all of your dreams come true! If you can make effort to renew your mind daily, you will gradually change any negative thoughts and convert them into positive ones and these positive beliefs will open up many opportunities for you in every aspect of your life – health, wealth, love, and happiness.
In order to achieve true happiness in life, you need positive beliefs about yourself and the world around you. You also need to believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
Secondly, Choose to Rate Yourself 100%, Because You Were Beautifully And Wonderfully Made
You can use imagination as a tool for changing any negative idea into a positive one, no matter how hard or strong it may seem at first. If I could do it and use it to overcome mental blocks, then anyone can!
Feelings of inferiority come from your conclusions and evaluations of yourself. How you feel about yourself depends on the standard of gauge you’re measuring yourself with.
As a young girl, I suffered from severe anxiety as a result of inferiority complex. I never believed that I was good enough. Similarly, a large percentage of people in our world today suffer from this same feeling.
Thinking that some other person is better than you because they have a skill that you don’t have is thinking inferior of yourself. And it is the way you see yourself that other people will see you.
Even though you know that there are other people more skillful and talented than you, you must know that you cannot compare yourself with them. You must stop feeling you’re no good because you can’t do exactly what they do.
You must be confident knowing that what you can do is all that you need to create your success. You may feel inferior because you believe that others are better than you and this makes you feel less worthy.
It is true that there are other people who can do things better than you, but it does not mean that they are more intelligent or capable than you. There is no need to compare yourself with them.
The solution for your inferiority complex lies in knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are and accepting the fact that everyone has their own unique talents, skills, abilities and potential. You must also know how to make use of your strengths so as to be able to contribute something valuable in life.
Being confident means having a positive attitude towards yourself despite being aware of your weaknesses and shortcomings. This will help build up your self-esteem which will eventually lead to greater confidence in yourself as well as increase productivity at work or school.
You should never let the opinions of others define who you really are especially if they don’t have any idea of your purpose in life. Choose to rate yourself 100%.
Thirdly, Stop Judging Yourself, You Have Nothing to Prove To Others.
When you compare yourself with others, you will always come out second best, this is because there is always only one original. No two persons were created perfectly equal and the same. Even a set of identical twins have so many similarities.
The feeling of inferiority leads to low self-esteem and a feeling that you’re not good enough and that there are always better people than you.
You must know that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so it is impossible for anyone to be perfect in everything they do. So, stop trying to measure yourself against others, because this will only make you feel worse about yourself.
Find out things that will make you happy, peaceful, lovely. Instead of feeling like a failure or being jealous of other people’s talents and skills, you can learn how to appreciate the things that make them different
You may have for a long time now, always felt inferior because you think that others are more talented and skillful than you. If you want to overcome your feelings of inferiority, then you must stop comparing yourself with other people. Instead spend more time focusing on your own strengths and talents.
The best way to overcome feelings of inferiority is by focusing on what makes you unique as a person, not by trying to be like someone else or competing with them.
It is not out of place for you to be weird, or different. Enjoy being weird and different and ignore what you think others are saying about you. You don’t have to be like anyone else. There are no fixed standards.
Fourthly, Believe That You Are A Work In Progress And Open Yourself To Growth.
When we make comparisons between ourselves and others, it’s easy to focus on what makes us different rather than what makes us similar. Perfectionism can be paralyzing—it keeps you from trying new things because they aren’t “perfect.”
But perfection doesn’t exist; nothing is perfect! Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, learn how to accept yourself for who you truly are right now—a work in progress!
You are unique, you are special and there is no one else in the world quite like you. However, it’s hard to see this when we spend so much time comparing our lives with those of other people on social media or in real life.
The truth about you, is this, YOU are not superior to anyone else, and you are not inferior to anyone else, you are simple YOU, in an original form. So, I like you to create a mental picture of YOU as the alter ego that you want to be.
I like to say I know God so much because I feel his love in my life. This one thing I know, God did not create a standard human. There is no standard person, as you would have a standard policy, a standard guide or procedure. We all are works in progress.
- Each day for the next 3 days, list 3 things that you are grateful for.
- Each day for the next 2 days, identify 2 people you will complement.
- For the next day, do something to grow your mind (read a book, write in a journal, watch a learning video)
Believe you are a work in progress, start focusing on your strengths and work towards developing your unique personality and contribution to the world. Let go of every perfectionist mindset that you have, learn how to relax. Set your goals and plan to work towards them.
We all have a tendency to compare ourselves to others, and often feel like we’re not good enough. Setting goals is a good thing, but it can be hard to stay motivated and focused on them.
The longer you delay your goal achievement the harder it becomes to reach that goal. You will get distracted by other things in life, lose sight of what’s important and eventually give up.
It’s time for you to set some goals and let go of perfectionism once and for all! Believe that you are a work in progress, open yourself to personal growth and start focusing on developing your unique personality instead of trying to fit into someone else’s mold.
Be proud of who you are today, but don’t stop there! Learn how to relax so that you can enjoy the journey towards achieving your goals rather than being stressed out about them all the time.
Set your goals realistically (and make sure they’re really yours) then plan how you’re going to achieve these dreams, starting with taking small steps each day towards making them happen until one day soon they will.
Today, through this blog, I hope that I have been able to inspire you to step out of hiding and become your best self. There is so much of you that the world has yet seen, and unless you apply and follow these tips, you cannot overcome an inferiority complex.
This feeling is what may be leading you to try to prove yourself in other ways, and in the long run, increase your stress level. The harder you try the more miserable you will become, as you will be trying too hard.
