According to a recent study in UK by Cadbury in partnership with The Prince’s Trust; the average adult has six moments of self-doubt a day – including whether they are good at their job.
A poll of two thousand people found that the biggest doubts relate to their work life; with 14% also concerned about their ability to climb the career ladder.
Another 25% have doubts about themselves and lack self-confidence, while 23% worry about whether they are making the right choices in life.
Another independent research showed that an average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts.
From these polls we can see that on average most people think more negative than positive. And this is mainly because we are products of our environmental programming.
This brings me to my main point; self-doubt, lack of self-confidence and all forms of self-sabotage are due to self-limiting belief system, which are a product of negative environmental programming of one’s mindset.
To break away from this environmental programming or herd mentality requires taking the responsibility for one’s personal transformation, growth, and development.
However, to transform your life, you must first unlearn every limiting belief and deconstruct every self-sabotaging opinion and mindset. It is only then that you can start the process of reprogramming your mind with empowering Self-concept and Belief Systems that are congruent to your Unique Identity and Potential.
This brings me to my next point; self-awareness and self-acceptance are the two major keys to self-discovery and personal transformation. This is because you cannot effectively build a healthy self-esteem, self-concept, and self-image, without first embracing your Uniqueness. You can use this link to read the previous post on the Power of Your Uniqueness.
In the words of the renown Philosopher Socrates, ”To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.”
Conversely, if your self-identity, self-image, and self-concept is based solely on external factors such as your academic qualifications or job titles, awards, or other people’s opinions and validations; you will inadvertently limit your ability to emerge as the Best Version of Yourself.
This is because personal transformation is a product of Mindset Optimisation (be transformed by the renewing of the mind). And once the human mind is transformed with empowering belief system, it can never go back to its original state.
Furthermore, whether you’re the CEO or Cleaner in an organisation, your self-identity is not your job title or qualifications, because no position (executive or non-executive) will last forever.
At this point I would like to ask you; “If you lose those cherished titles, accolades, brand identity, prime assets, celebrated business or career achievements, would you also lose your self-identity and self-worth?’’
I like what the executive coach and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith said, “Your job title is temporary, how you treated others, that is what will be remembered.”
Furthermore, your academic qualifications, career or business achievements, failures or mistakes are events in your life and do not define your capability or Unique Identity. And cannot limit your Potentials.
What matters most in life, is that you discover your Uniqueness (know thyself) through personal transformation. And by having a clear vision of where you’re headed to, despite the challenges and obstacles you will face in your life.
“All of us have the seed of greatness, unlimited potentials and success within us but what we eventually become is only a matter of personal choice” Clems
When you discover your unique identity and purpose in life, you unlock the potential to live a purpose-driven and impactful life.
Let me remind you again; ‘’You’re a Unique Masterpiece created for a PURPOSE, equipped with LIMITLESS POTENTIALS (seeds of greatness) and Designed for a DESTINY (purpose-driven and impactful life).
The first century scholar and author of the epistles, Paul said “God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes.’’
In conclusion, I would like to re-emphasize that nobody can denigrate or devalue you without your permission because you become whatever label you have accepted to be true regarding your self-identity and self-worth; whether good or bad.
This is because your self-image will inevitably create your self-identity, influence your self-esteem, and become your self-fulfilling prophecy. Simply put, how you see yourself is how others will see you and treat you.
