“Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.” Helen Keller
These are great words of wisdom, of perception from someone who lived and breathed self-confidence. If anyone should think ill of the world it is surely Helen Keller. Yet she did not allow her situation to stand in her way. As a deaf and blind person she went on to be an amazing and inspiring author and activist. Her self-confidence was as strong as ever, never giving in to her lack of sight or language.
What can we learn from this? We can look at our habitual thoughts, and ask ourselves: what can we change? Which thoughts are working against us? Which thoughts are not giving us the desired results or outcomes?
Much like Helen Keller, we can transform our negative emotional habits into beneficial habits; ones that will have us look at ourselves and the world around us from a different perspective: one that is self-empowering and self-enhancing.
As you focus on attaining constructive, productive and beneficial emotional habits, all sorts of positive changes will take place. You will see and feel yourself improving and becoming more self-confident, happier and much more loving than before. And as you do, you will find yourself easily stepping out of your self-made comfort zone, doing things that you would normally not do.
And when you look at the world, you will look at it straight in the face, feeling joyful, fantastic and jubilant. Now isn’t that a great place to dwell in?
