Who is the Greatest Person in the World?
Posted by admin at 06:18 | Filed In Build Self Esteem
Well who is it? It better be you! Yes the most important person in your world is you. Think about it for a moment, who else could it be? Your mom, well can she breathe for you? Your dad, can he brush your teeth for you? Well he could but it is not practical much past 2 years old.
The pop culture for many years is to put you after everyone else. How has this been working for you? If you look at the huge rise in anti-depressant drugs I think it is not going all that well.
When you realize in your own little world that you are the star player your attitude will change. You will no longer go with just a few hours sleep, you will give your body the rest it needs. When you do that you will feel better, when you feel better you will be friendlier. When you are friendlier your world will seem a lot better.
If you are nice to people they are generally nice back. This will change your perception of the world to that of a friendlier place. I will demonstrate this with an old Chinese story.
A wise man is sitting by the side of the road at the entrance to a small city. A traveler passes and asks the man, What are the people like in this city? The wise man asks the traveler, What where the people like in the last town you where in? To which the traveler responded, They were mean and tried to cheat me. The wise man sighed and said, "Sorry but they are the same here."
Later another traveler passed the wise man and asked the same question and again the wise man responded by asking how the people where in the village before. The traveler responded, They where wonderful. The wise man smiled and said, "They are the same here."
The point is how you are, is reflected in the people you meet. Once you value yourself, others you meet will feel you value them. They then will value you, it is like a big circle of respect.
The notion of putting others before you just does not work. You are teaching others how to treat you. Here is a final example, have you ever flown in a plane? Do you remember the safety speech, the part about if the plane loses pressure and the air masks drop? If you are flying with someone, whose mask do you put on first, yours or his or hers? Why?
You put on yours first, otherwise by the time you put on theirs you will likely not be able to put on yours. But if you do put yours on first you will be able to help the other person easily. It may seem a stretch to you but if you look after yourself first and do it well. You are in a better position to help others.
Remember, who is number 1, you are!
