    I have used the quote "I am loveable, I am love able" it's also really cool to look yourself in the (in the mirror) when you are telling yourself these things!

    I read the book years ago and felt it was a great book , I recommend it to everyone. Nathaniel Brandon in his book said a confident person is benevolent because he or she knows who she is and has nothing to prove to others. The book was enlightening if you want to improve yourself as a human being.

    To me, the root of all and most important pillar of self esteem is self love, which he mentions as the 7th pillar . Also recommend reading “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” by Kamal Ravikant .

  • @MirzaBorogovac
    @MirzaBorogovac 8 лет назад +27

    I disagree with you on what assertiveness is. It is not some sort of belief in yourself. I would say that assertiveness is willingness to disappoint or hurt others so that you get what you deserve or so that you do not get taken advantage of.
    Basically, sometimes you need to be a bit of an a-hole. This is something people do not want to hear nowadays because society abhors overly aggressive and pushy people. And also, as kids, we were constantly conditioned to please others. We had to please parents, teachers, relatives, etc. If we asserted ourselves over the wishes of adults in authority we would get scolded and punished.
    So in order to not be a-holes, many of us went to opposite extreme and became doormats. That is not good either because there are people who will take advantage of you. There are many situations where you need to assert yourself to be treated fairly.
    Realizing that I had to be a bit of an a-hole was a magic bullet that immediately improved my life. The day I came to that realization was the day I quit this church committee that I did not want to do and that was taking up a lot of my time. While becoming a bit of an a-hole does take a bit of effort, it was still the easiest, fastest, and most effective self improvement hack that I found.

    • @youtubechannel12371
      @youtubechannel12371 4 года назад +1

      It’s important to differentiate between being assertive and being an asshole. You can get the benefits of being assertive without being an ass. Assertiveness is taking action and responsibility of your ambitions without being hindered by others. This can be done from a place of confidence and kindness. Being kind and being a push-over are not one in the same. Being as asshole is a mental/emotional position, stemming from a “knock everyone else down so I can stand taller” type of mentality; as opposed to just building yourself up higher.
