Sometimes I wonder if focusing on my weaknesses ALL the time hurts my confidence more than it helps. Is there a balance between improvement and being proud of what I've done right?

Absolutely, there's a balance to be struck between acknowledging your weaknesses and celebrating your strengths. Focusing solely on weaknesses can indeed take a toll on your confidence. It's important to recognize your accomplishments and the things you excel at. Celebrating your successes can boost your confidence and motivate you to continue improving in areas where you may have weaknesses. Finding this balance allows for holistic personal growth while maintaining a positive self-image.

I heard from my therapist that we have to treat ourselves like we would treat our best friend. You would focus on your best friend's weaknesses all the time, but whenever they fail, you would be there to help them realize they are more than their failures and help them get better. Take some time to think about your weaknesses, but when you do that, try to make a plan to get better and be patient with yourself, put some short-term goals, and when someone asks you about them, you will not only know it, but you will also have a plan to overcome it.

BTW, it's easier said than done, I also struggle with that. it's a journey

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
