To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment anybody can make. The most important opinion you have is the one you have of yourself, and the most significant things you say all day are those things you say to yourself.
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their true self just like the people in your life are direct reflection of what you think of yourself. Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become. How we think of ourselves thats how people will treat us. Like my pastor/bishop always says "As a man thinks in his heart so is he" in other words every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are. Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.
Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly. Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for something you are not.
Have a bless day,
- Juan C.
