For one to succeed, there are a lot of factors. Having a good self-image is one of them. In fact I think it is the most important of all the factors. Sadly most of us don’t know we really are. We don’t have a good self-image. We think negatively of ourselves, belittle our success and magnify our mistakes. This is a road that is directly opposite the success road. Socrates said man know thyself. Common sense demands that we know, like, love, value and respect yourself. He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals. It is said that the richest place on earth is the cemetery, because there you will find buried six feet under the ground, dreams that were not fulfilled; ideas that were not brought to life; visions that were not seen to conclusion; men and women who could not be what they were meant to be, because they don’t really know themselves. We were made God’s image and likeness. That should tell us something. You were born an original don’t die a copy.
Some nuggets of wisdom:
The most important thing in life- Power of God
The most powerful communication- Prayer
The greatest asset- Faith
The greatest joy- giving
The most prized possession- Integrity
The worst thing to be without- Hope
The most beautiful attire- A smile.
There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.
