The importance of self-image The image we have of ourselves is the most important thing in determining what we experience in the world. We spend our days acting out the kind of person we think we are, and eventually, as Earl Nightingale observed, we become what we think about. We experience what we are convinced is true and so, in a very real sense, we have each created ourself from our own mental image. And we can recreate ourselves from a new mental image if we choose. Whoever you are now, you have chosen it. And in a year, five years, ten years from now, you can be the same person, or you can choose again and become someone different. |
