Ep 010 - Self : Ideal self, Self-Image and Self-Esteem

Life would surprise you a lot indeed. The fact that nothing is guaranteed is quite threatening. In other words, no one knows what exactly is going to happen in the next couple of minutes. Even if you guess, your guessing turns out to be a mere assumption that has nothing to do with reality most of the time. That is why the rate of disappointed people is getting higher every minute. Expectations are so tricky, but don’t fret! We are human beings, and we get easily manipulated and affected by words and situations. We get hurt, troubled, and joyful or over the moon; it just depends on what happens in our lives. One minute you’re excited about something, and suddenly, something else happens that shuts you off and makes you lose interest in whatever you were thrilled about. Don’t be shocked! You only need to reconcile with life’s unexpected ups and downs. You need to understand that this is how life functions. It is a mixture of good and bad, and that’s what makes it balanced and healthy.We should be aware that many things could go wrong and be opposite to what we desire. However, this should not make us lose hope, lose our spark, lament our fates, and isolate ourselves! No! Instead, we should keep a positive and an understanding attitude towards whatever is irritating us or causing us dissatisfaction. Ignite Positivity aims to help you recognize and appreciate the positives in life despite your circumstances. A wise man once said, “life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we choose to react”. Every week, we prepare your daily dose of optimism as we discuss various topics that range from philosophy of everyday life, self-improvement, relationships, success, failures, and many more. Join us and be motivated, encouraged, and inspired by our stories, interviews, and discussions.
