You might have some characters that you don’t like. For example, you may be a shy person and you don’t like it; you wish you are an outgoing person. You might then think that you are not clever enough. All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. Fortunately, there are always things you can do to make you like yourself. Here are some tips: 1. Write your success stories One reason we may not like ourselves is that we are too focused on what we don’t have so that we forget about what we (already) have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in our life. 2. Accept things you can’t change There are some things you cannot change, such as your background and your past. So learn to accept them. You will feel much relieved(宽心) if you treat things you can’t change the way they deserve: just accept them, smile, and move on. 3. Focus on your strengths(强项) Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique person. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them. 4. Stop comparing yourself with others You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless comparing yourself with others.
