Your Self Image - How You Feel About Yourself


When you think about yourself, your accomplishments and your failures, your weaknesses and strengths, how do you feel about them? What is your answer to the question of who you are? How do you define yourself?
The way you see yourself determines your success in life, your status in your society and the way others feel about you. All of these factors are major in your life.
A balanced self image, knowing clearly and confidently your strengths and weaknesses, results in utilizing all your potential and skill and places you in a position by which you will be of benefit for yourself, your family, society and nation. Any accomplishment in this world is achieved through people who think that they are going to make what they have in mind. That technically is called faith; which is "... the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrew 11:1-2. None of these people underestimate or see themselves as if they are not able to do what they want.
A distorted self image, not knowing your potentials and weaknesses, results in living below your standard. It hinders you from who you could be. It makes you live an ordinary and normal life which prohibits you from exercising your unique position in this world, in your society and country.
Therefore, who are you? What are your strengths and weaknesses, your potentials, talents and skills? Knowing yourself clearly and building the right self image towards yourself helps you to be the best you can be and fill your unique place in this world. One big and important point though, no one knows you (including yourself) as your creator does. He knows why and how he creates you. Consult him to know yourself fully so that you can build the proper self image towards yourself.
