Having Proper Self Image

All the gurus are continually speaking about having positive self esteem. Self-help and building one’s self image books have their own section in bookstores. You read about thinking and speaking positive and how this develops in you a positive self image. My response to that….NOT! Yet to date people suffer from poor self identity.

There are no guidelines or books to help us construct a well balanced self image, hence, in the quest we suffer. We go the extremes. Narcissism and low self esteem are polar opposites and neither delineates who we truly are. And naturally we are driven to either side of the continuum. Even at that we put all of our energy on our strengths and don’t make an effort to work on our weaknesses. So how do we find the balance?

Most have no idea that in fact there is a blueprint. We are spiritual beings who need to tap into the creator for the ultimate understanding of who we are and clarity of our assignment in the universe. Yes, we each have an assignment. As spiritual beings we have the power to do anything we set out to do. It is not necessarily all positive however, we need to have a healthy balance to reach our full potential. Understanding what a healthy self image is the premium balance.

The key is not a good self image but a proper self image. Knowing our place and mission in the universe pursuing it and becoming successful. All the positive talk can lead an individual to narcissism and self absorption and will still not formulate the ultimate self image. Aligning perception of your self image with God’s brings you to understanding who you truly are and what you can do. Then you can speak whatever you desire and you will prosper. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he ~ Proverbs 4:23
