Self-Image

Many people suffer from low self-esteem. Some are aware of this and some are not. Low self-esteem is generally related to a poor self-image. Our self-image is not always what we might wish. We might like to have a self-image of Superman or Wonderwoman, for example, but we might feel that we not only lack super powers but pretty much any power at all.

The funny thing is that we can control our self-image. Every one of us does super things and every one of us should feel like we are absolutely wonderful, remarkable people. If we don't, it is usually because someone else is controlling our self image.

Shake them off! Your self-image is yours alone. Decide how you wish to see yourself, and let that be your self-image. Then start living that image, because that is who you are and who you want to be.
