supportive good thoughts instead of bad ones...
i think my self-esteem was suffering because i had this weird thing going on where i would smash any good idea with a bad or critical one.
like today, i realized that one of my co-workers sorta tries to seduce me by touching her butt all time time. i knew it from before but i told myself, don't be a pervert, don't look. like, i make this good, exciting thing into a bad thing. no wonder i am always stuck. today, instead i said in my mind. it's ok to look and enjoy that because it's a sign i am healthy and straight. and, i felt this new thing, new possibilities rising up in my mind. and, i think i do this type of of criticism, smashing, rejecting thing to almost everything. so my goal is to start accepting good things that happen. i am going to let good things come into my life and i will accept it. like if someone comes at me with friendship, i won't think in my head 10 things that is bad about the person and reject them. i will think of 5 good things about them and give it a chance instead. my shift in thinking is coming from that book i am reading... "the magic of thinking big." i have rejected so many good opportunities in life by being anally perfectionistic. this has got to change.

@Got_Takoyaki - just to go amazon.com and search the magic of thinking big... i think it's one of the best books i ever bought.
The power of positive thinking! It definitely changes you attitude.
@ccarothers - yes, and i was in need of a huge attitude adjustment.. i still have a bit to go but improving each day!
That book is great!
Yeah, perfectionism is too much!
One step at a time, it will lead there and you will end up enjoying the journey a lot more and perfecting things at you go along.
Best of luck and keep us posted!
@MidnighTinVenice - seriously, i've read a lot of self-help books.. and this one probably is the best one. it's the most basic and makes sense.
You needed to start at basics and build from there. Perfection is multiple steps.
