Success Strategies : The Importance Of A Positive Self Image

It is your self image that holds the master key to your success. No matter what level of success you attain ‘outwardly’ in your life, your life will only ever develop to the extent that you do or, more specifically, the extent that your self image does.

Our self image is what makes us behave ‘like us’. As such, the habits we adopt, and the way we ultimately ’see’ ourselves in our life, are a direct result of our self image and the way that our self image views ourselves.

As you achieve success, wealth, or ’status’ in your life, if your self image gets left behind, eventually you will find yourself sliding backwards, sometimes at an alarming rate.

It boils down to the fundamental issue of ‘derservability’. Does the self image believe that we deserve to have what we have achieved? If not, you will not stay there, because the self image, like all of us, has a very comfortable comfort zone.

If the self image asks “Is this like me?”, and the answer is “No”, the self image can not accept what we have become and will change our behaviors to get us back to a level that it feels that we ‘deserve’.

Note here that self image has nothing to do with ‘ego’, which is on the ‘outside’ and is dependent on ‘outside’ events, like praise or adulation from the outside world. Your self image is the praise or adulation which comes from within you to yourself. The self-talk that goes on within your mind, the images you reflect from within to the outside world.

So, to summarize, our thoughts, habits and actions are what initially get us to the level that we want to be at but, ultimately, it is the self image which is responsible for keeping us there.
