Beat the Feelings of Inferiority
There are a few aspects that contribute to the feeling of inferiority that are important to consider as we strive to live authentic and fulfilling lives. Comparing our life to someone else’s life is important to think about. Do you ever find yourself looking at a neighbor or maybe a colleague who makes it look so easy, therefore they are somehow better than you? The question is,Burberry Scarves, how do you really know how this individual handles their life? Many people find themselves comparing their insides to other people’s outsides. Do you monitor their every move and know with all certainty that they are a model of perfection that all should strive for? The answer is no. Then why do we do this? It is self-defeating. Perhaps, we feel the need to have a point of reference to ascertain that we are doing the right thing in this life. But again, we do not know if these individuals we are comparing ourselves to are these models of perfection we are making them out to be.
The other dynamic to dissect is the influence of media. More and more we are finding celebrities doing shoots without makeup and they actually look normal! We need to immunize ourselves to the perceived glamour and perfection our media portrays of celebrity life. We also need to immunize ourselves to the perceived standard of living the media portrays. Do we really need several cars in our driveway and homes that are too large for our families? Again, the answer is no.
