Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 3/10/14
This week’s focus point: Some people are fortunate enough to have had ego support as youngsters, with consistently positive feedback and experiences. They have had a good chance at achieving a life of self-actualization and self-mastery, becoming excellent judges of which feedback is valid and not valid. However, some have had limited or no ego support, and have found themselves trying to overcome lack of esteem and poor self-worth. There are two insidious factors in undermining self-worth: The original negative, irrelevant “baggage” we may still carry around, and our propensity to “default to the negative” (despite 50 good reviews, one bad one depresses us). Don’t live with these burdens, because they “mask” talent and prevent full potential from blossoming. A solid support system, candor, coaching, and even therapy can help remove the load.
