[MdedBiz Success Tips #6] Do You Love Yourself Too Much?
By: Henry Gold
(Part I)
I know you may say "Of Course" I love myself.
But "Do you know the truth?"
Most people say that they love themselves, but they
still eat junk food, which tortures their body.
They still listen to the negative people, who will
always stop them from achieving what they want in their
lives.
They still listen to their egos, which will block
the positive input that could help them travel to their
preferred destination.
....And much much more.
In the past, I admitted that whenever someone
criticized me, I would show them that I was smarter
than they. My ego would take over, where I argued until
the end to prove how wrong he or she was to say
anything bad about me.
The Result: None of the people who cared about my
existence would tell me the truth, instead they just
mentioned words that I would like to hear, as they were
scared that we would end up arguing.
Very soon, most of the sincere people left me alone,
as they felt it took too much energy to be around me.
Eventually, all the friends that surrounded me were the
people who would always "praise me " and say how good
I was.
This behavior was actually blocking all the
information that was supposed to make me achieve what I
wanted. Instead of receiving the correct input for my
business, I had to stand alone, as if I knew everything.
People whom I called "Close Friends" were looking
down on me. After my ego took over, my business
decreased from $4,000,000 to Minus $90,000 in less than
1 year.
I was in pain. I was suffering. It seemed as if the
world was moving by without my presence.
In fact, as soon as the word spread out to those
so-called "Close Friends", they all fled as they
couldn't see the advantage of getting close to me.
This was very sad, which has made me very strong today.
Think back and realize...
"Did I Really Love Myself?"
or
"Was My Ego Taking Control of My Life?"
You see, we all have self-pride. We always want to
hear people say great things about us. The truth is the
ego within ourselves is the first key to "Massive
Failure" in our life.
It is also the poison that destroys all the strong
friendships you have with honest and sincere people.
Instead, you "attract" those "hangers on" who are
just trying to get a piece of your gold.
We all want to be loved. We all want people to look
up to us and say great thing about us. This is the
"Natural Human Reaction".
BUT...
We need to understand being loved and self-ego are
two very different things in life.
Being loved: People love you for what you've done
in their lives and what you've given them to make them
realize that they are able to do something in their
lives.
Self-ego: You are looking for other people's
respect because you want people to think that you are
good. To believe that you are strong. Most of the
time, in desperation for getting their respect use the
material power to shut people's mouths.
This is totally wrong.
Without sincerity, those "Sugar-Coated" friends that
surround you will stick with you as long as you can
provide them with a material comfort zone, such as: go
to movie together where you are the one to pay for the
tickets etc.
How long will it last?
It is all depending on your finances for sure.
Once it ends, they flee.
The result: You cry. You are depressed.
"Why would you want those friends in the beginning
anyway?"
Discard them. Find new ones. Find people that truly
care about you, as YOU, and not for what you have.
Listen to their advice even though it may be bitter,
as they are telling you the truth, not something that
you would like to hear. This is the friendship that will
last forever.
Coming Soon Part II...
