Life Quote

:: Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once. Circumstances and situations do color life but you have been given the mind to choose what the color shall be. Heal the past, live the present and dream the future. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever. So, make your life worth living! ::

Let's Overcome Inferiority Complex Now!

Everyone is this world have their own weaknesses. Nobody's perfect so why you should embarrass with yourselves? It's not about how your feel your weaknesses but it's about how you deal with your weaknesses. 

So now, what is Inferiority Complex? Basically, Inferiority Complex is a persistent feeling of being inferior to others in some way. It is usually connected with a real or imaginary shortcoming in physical appearance, intelligence, personality, education, social status or economic status. Overcoming an inferiority complex implies a set of key shifts in thinking:


  1. Realizing that any flaw you have is not as bad as you think;
  2. Realizing that having a certain flaw does not equal with not having any personal qualities;
  3. Realizing that all people have their flaws and most people have major flaws..

In order to overcome your Inferiority Complex, you have to: 


 1) Admit it

Admit that you have the problem. Don't try to hide and give excuses. If you keep comparing yourself to others and think that people are bigger, better, smarter, etc. compared to you, you do have the problem.


2) Make the decision to change

Your view about yourself was created in your mind. In order to change your feeling of inadequacy and lack, change the way you think and see yourself in your mind's eye. Visualize yourself as a confident person because what you visualize is what you become. Create in your mind the image that you want to have.


3) Observe people

Don't compare but observe. Observe and watch how confident and assured people behave. See how they conduct themselves in the company of people. Watch how they move, speak and how they use their body language. Observe also how people respond to these people. You can learn a lot using this method.



4) Believe in yourself

Never mind what others have told you. You don't have to agree and make them yours. One of the ways to break apart your limiting beliefs is to question the truth in it. List down those limiting beliefs that have made you feel inferior and incomplete. Ask yourself if they are true. When you get the answers, question yourself further until you are convinced that you are more than you have set yourself to believe.


5) Fight your timidity

Conquer your fears of making mistakes and looking stupid. When the opportunity arises, show your mettle by voicing out your opinion, offering suggestions and solutions. The more you meet your fear head on, the better you become and your self confidence will increase. Look up at your own worth and respect yourself if you wish to gain it from others. Your self esteem will surely improve.


6) Change your posture and work on your appearance

How you dress will affect how you feel. Dress accordingly so that you can move around with ease and avoid any feeling of discomfort. Keep yourself fit, toned and healthy. Watch your posture, manners and body language. Your emotions will catch up with your actions. People will respond to you according to how you express yourself.



7) Find someone to model and change your environment

You developed the inferiority complex through conditioning and your upbringing. Find different role models to overcome your weakness. Instead of envying what the other person has, find out how she acquires the qualities that you wish to adopt. Learn from her and model her strategies and beliefs. Create better circle of friends and choose a different environment.



8) Acquire better knowledge and skills

If you have more knowledge and better skills, people will seek you for advice, opinions and information. Don't try to compete but to create. Do it because you want to become more proficient so that you can advance in life but not to be at par with anybody.


9) Take notes

Take notes of your daily interactions, attitudes and behavior. Reflect at the end of the day and learn from them. This will enable you to understand yourself better, adjust and make improvement.


10) Use subliminal messages

Your past mental programming brought about from upbringing, past influences and environment are imprinted inside your brain. It takes a lot of discipline and efforts to overwrite them. An easier and faster method to reprogram your past conditioning and overcome inferiority is to use subliminal messages.
