I'm aiming to rid myself of passive, submissive, reactive behavior.
The pattern I'm seeing is that:
Social wins/momentum follows
successful assertiveness/boldness in expressing/acting on intentions follows
either confidence or courage which seems to follow
self-esteem/validation or self image/belief
One challenge is overcoming an over-sensitivity to external validation/rejection.
The other is just cultivating a core set of beliefs that being good isn't being nice/appeasing but is focused on being straight with integrity first.
Thoughts or suggestions?
