Do you have a habit of making negative jokes about yourself?
I know I used to do this once upon a time.
You see, being humble is one thing and we should strive to cultivate the virtue of humility.
What we shouldn't do is use humility, even with good intentions, as a justification to make fun or belittle ourselves for laughs and go on to make a habit of this.
What about if you make a mistake?
Are you overly hard and negative with yourself?
I know I used to do this also.
You have to remember that we are what we think.
If we make a habit of poking fun at ourselves or being overly critical and harsh on ourselves we will cultivate a negative aura and energy and we will soon find ourselves attracting all kinds of negative outcomes.
Learn to cultivate kindness and grace not just with others, but specially with yourself first as this is one of the most fundamental first steps in your journey of personal growth.
Remember that our outer world is shaped by our inner world and our inner world is shaped by our thoughts and the quality of our thoughts.
Always be kind to yourself and elevate yourself in your thoughts and your inner dialogue.
