A New Day - Who do you think you are

By
Managing Real Estate Broker

“That kind of life is most happy which affords us the most opportunities of gaining our own self-esteem.”
Samuel Johnson

You will never rise above the image you have of yourself in your own mind. Your self-image is much like a self portrait; it is who and what you picture yourself to be.

Do you base how you feel about yourself on false standards such as where you live, what you look like, the car you drive, or the opinion of others? If so your self-image may not be an accurate reflection of who you really are.

Every person has an image of herself or himself. 

Who do you think you are?

A deep question that fortunately we all have control over it. . 

What an important role for a parent to take your advice on this. . and raising a child has a completely different meaning..

Your self image is much like self portrait.  What a great idea, something that is so important.

Hi Fernando... Yes parents should do everything they can to keep their children's self-esteem where God meant for it to be...  My grandchildren are blessed with great parents and for sure God favors all of them so they have wonderful self-esteem and I have no doubt that they will all do very well and handle what ever obstacles come their way... Happy Day and thanks so much for stopping by...

What an interesting thought to ponder "your image is like a self-portrait" today it's about helping people get what they need.

It is so easy to have a negative personal image while the circumstances justify a very positive perspective.

I will be watching for the results of your photowalks. A single petunia may be viewed as a gift of beauty.

This is the truth in all areas of my life. I have learn to use positive affirmation as a way to redirect my thought if they get off track : It all is to think defferently!

 

Love and light,

Laura

I am always struggling with this question. Sometimes I am disappointed in myself for not being all I can be and other times I I proud of myself for being myself. Thank for the great post.

Sure is the right way to look it things. If you don't see yourself in a good light, either will others.
