 Why some people think they don't deserve to succeed? One will think that everyone will want nothing but success for themselves, even if they don't want it for the rest of the world, including their loved ones. However, some people don't think that they deserve to succeed. Jody Amman said, believing that you don't deserve to heal is one of the biggest blocks to heal in, in the same way, when a person believes that they don't deserve to succeed. Then they will not. For a person to, however, think that they don't deserve to become successful, clearly, something or some things must be responsible for this mindset. In this video, I'll share with you why some people think they don't deserve to succeed. This, I believe, will help you become a successful person.

Bertrand Russell said, fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty to conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Every one of us has one fear or the other, especially the fear of the unknown. However, some people amplify their fears and allow them to take over their reasoning. So, instead of taking control and facing their fears, they decide that it is better to be on the safe side than lose it all, which is why they'll rather choose to believe that they don't deserve to succeed. If a person is too afraid to fail, or in some of the cases, if they are scared to test their abilities, they'll offer a safer option instead, an option that will help them avoid what is right there in their face. Do you know what? The feeling that a person doesn't deserve success comes in often more than a self-deceptive attempt. 2. They've acquired certain wrong beliefs while growing up. Children who grew up in the neighborhoods where they were continually shot down, neglected, and ignored will most likely grow up into individuals who believe that they don't deserve anything good, such as success, because they are not special or useful to anyone else. The truth is that these are wrong beliefs, and as long as they continue to think of themselves this way, they'll never consider themselves as people who deserve to be successful. In the case of some other people, they rely on their physical inabilities or features to lazy around and not welcome the idea that they deserve to succeed. For instance, some people may judge themselves based on their physical appearance. Imagine growing up in an environment where they were told that they are too fat to fit in, or they are too dark-skinned or white-skinned to make it. In most cases, it takes a lot of courage and guts to disregard what people say or think and accept what you want for yourself. Instead, this becomes their reality, and as a result, they feel they truly do not deserve to be successful, because they spent the whole of their childhood believing all the stuff they were told. You see, the truth is that the common children here growing up can affect how they think of themselves, because once a child thinks that something is wrong with them, they can grow up into adults who don't believe that they deserve to get anything good in life. 3. They've been treated poorly in the past. Have you ever watched movies where a person was always treated as an outsider and never got any of the good stuff that everyone else got? What happens to such character in the end? One of two things. They either encourage themselves to believe in themselves and work hard enough to prove to those folks that they can also become wealthy, successful and have all the good things that they want in life, or they can spend the rest of their lives believing that nothing good can happen to them, their curse, etc. The people that grow up to be like the second party are the people who tend to believe that they don't deserve to be successful. Paulo Colhill, a Brazilian lyricist and novelist said, Don't let anyone make you feel that you don't deserve the good things that happen in your life. 4. They have low self-esteem. According to Rik Pitino, an American basketball coach, self-esteem is directly linked to deserving success. You must deserve victory to feel good about yourself. A person with self-esteem has self-confidence and believes in their abilities to create value in their environment and for as many people as possible. Hence, they believe that if they can do that, then they deserve to be successful. However, a person who has low self-esteem or who has developed a negative mindset towards life doesn't believe that they deserve to be successful because they don't believe in their abilities. Neither do they think that they are capable of creating anything that will be useful to mankind. 5. They feel guilty for something that they have done in the past. Guilt is a very strong emotion that a person feels when they violate their values or when they believe they have done something wrong. When guilt, however, becomes intense, it can cause a lot of problems, including leaving in self-denial and thinking that nothing good should ever happen to them because they have done something terrible and now they must live the rest of their life's pain for their sins. People who think this way or people who allow this feeling of guilt or regret hold them this much don't believe that they deserve to be successful. However, irrespective of the situation, Paul O'Colio says, You deserve all the good things that happen to you. Don't feel guilty and accept the blessing. Conclusion Guatama Buddha, a monk, medicant, teacher and a religious leader, once said, You can search throughout the entire universe for someone more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. The truth is that, regardless of the reason you think that you don't deserve to succeed, you do. And until you begin to think of yourself as someone who does, you'll not be successful. Forget everything that has happened in the past, love yourself and treat yourself with respect. Finally, constantly remind yourself that, like everyone else, you deserve to succeed. Thank you very much for watching our videos.
