What do you like about yourself?

[MH1]

4. I like myself for what I'm good at, and for making an honest effort.

There are things I'm not good at. There are things I'm pretty good at, but I know there are others who are better than me. Then there's a couple things I'm really good at ... but then I know that somewhere in the world there is someone better than me at each of those things, too.

The key is to make an honest effort; do your best to do the right thing. If you know you made an honest effort and did your best, then you can be easier on yourself if the results aren't quite what you hoped, or if someone else did better. If there's room for growth, then always be open to learning.

If your question is serious, as I assume it is, I would recommend reading 1) The Four Agreements (don't fall for all the marketing, but the basic points are excellent); 2) any good book on basic Buddhist philosophy (specifically about the 4 Noble Truths and Eightfold Path).
