Becoming more accepting of myself?

Question

I've been feeling extremely down lately and have lost my motivation and drive to be successful in school and whatever I do. I am afraid that whatever I do might not be enough even if I work hard. I read the news on the murder of Eve Carson the other day. Eve was leader everywhere she went and stood out of the crowd. She had something about her that made people notice her and like her and she was the last person who deserved a fate like that. I am on the premed track as she was, but I feel like I will never get into medical school if my competition is people like her. Also, so many people are grieving over her death and miss her(which is natural). If I were the one who was shot to death, I would not have half as many people missing and grieving for me. But I know that there must be a reason that I am still here. I want like to work hard and be the best that I can be. How can I get back my motivation? How can I become happy with who I am and become a person who people can genuinely like?

Answer 1

Frist treat you self well and do unto your self ,what you would have done to others, be kind and loving. Just do the bst you can at all you do.Change the things you can

Answer 2

sometimes, we don't enjoy the things that we do because we ignore our heart. we often live to what others expect. listen to your heart, listen to what it has to say, be yourself, and if people won't like you, so be it, coz when someone loves you, that means they loved you for who you are. ^_^

Answer 3

Happy people are not happy because people like them - it is the other way round. People like them because they are happy.

You will be happy if you like yourself. If you don't like yourself how do you expect others to like you?

You don't need any reason to like yourself. Be genuinely good - not to earn others appreciation - but just because it makes sense. Every moment in life is a new opportunity to dump the past and be happy now and again.

A good place to start is by NOT COMPARING yourself to others.  You are a unique person whose gifts to the world are yours, only.  No one else can contribute YOUR gifts..so find out what they are and go on with your life. You have every right to be happy....so give yourself permission to do your best and know that it is good enough!!!!!  Others may say you are not doing your best but this is not for anyone  but YOU to decide.
