Self-Appreciation

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 7:05 am

It’s harder than it looks when you know how, and it takes lots of work to make it look easy.

What are you really good at? It’s OK to blow your horn; no one is going to hear your response – just us chickens.

The fact is that you are good at something and you make it look easy.

Look at any cooking show or home improvement show on TV. They make it look easy. The degree of difficulty becomes apparent when we attempt to replace the toilet or serve that soufflé.

You can credit your impetus to start the project to enthusiasm but more often than not, it’s a lack of appreciation.

We often don’t give ourselves or others the proper due for the ability to make something look easy.

If I were handy, I would write a best-selling book of instruction called, “There’s No Such Thing as a 5 Minutes Job” because there isn’t.

Hard things are not easy; proficient people just make it look that way, and that includes you.

The real message here is that self-appreciation seems to be in short supply for many people and it makes their lives harder.

It’s not that we don’t have it; it’s in our toolbox, but we don’t use it enough.

I love self deprecation in a person, but when it becomes their lifestyle, they begin to lack appreciation for their developed skill set and marginalize it, rather than use it to their best advantage.

When you don’t appreciate your own skills, you communicate a lack of skill, which is never the case.

Take a look at what you’re good at and look for ways to let that skill ooze out.

It will make life easier and it will be harder for people not to appreciate you.

 

All the best,

John
