Recognize And Accept That You Are More Than Just One Shattered Part Of You
It's simple to believe that everything—all of you—has been broken when things are hard and some part of you is chipped or damaged. However, that is untrue.
We all have an image of ourselves in our heads and a concept of the type of person we are. We frequently respond defensively and impulsively when this idea is even slightly hurt or endangered. People may criticize our work, which affects our belief that we are competent individuals, and this causes us to feel wounded or furious. When someone wrongly accuses us of something, it undermines our belief that we are decent people. As a result, we may become enraged and attack the other person, or we may become afraid and sob. The list is just endless.
The most absurd thing is that we frequently damage and threaten ourselves with negativity and unfounded charges.
Just this morning, I was finding it difficult to get motivated to start a new creative project I've been putting off, and as a result, my self-perception as someone who is consistently motivated and productive and has brilliant ideas came under attack. I became incredibly self-conscious and frustrated when I realized I wasn't accomplishing anything because I started worrying subconsciously that I wasn't who I thought I was. I was guilty of laziness.
Realizing that I'm not simply one thing was my answer. I'm not always productive; there are times when I'm both productive and unproductive. I don't always have motivation; occasionally I do, but all other times I'm a little lazy. Of course, I don't always come up with brilliant ideas; that's not feasible.

The fact that I may be many different things allows me to expand my identity and make it less brittle so that it won't completely break if a small bit of it gets cracked. Because I don't always do a good job, it doesn't matter whether occasionally someone thinks I didn't do a good job or if I catch myself occasionally doing a bad job.
Before we can amass wealth in large quantities, we must magnetize our minds with a strong desire for wealth. To do this, we must become "money conscious," and this desire for money must then motivate us to make specific plans for amassing wealth.
Everyone who reaches the age at which they can comprehend the function of money wishes they had some. Wishing won't make you rich. Riches will come from wanting money so badly that it becomes an obsession, from preparing specific ways to get money, from implementing those plans with tenacity and disregard for failure, and from following through.
I am fallible.
I am not entirely flawless.
similar to YOU.
And that's totally fine.
