How do you see Yourself?

What is the picture you have in your mind?
How do you see yourself?
Is your vision limited?

I heard a story the other day about a father and son who went hiking and they got separated from each other and the son got lost. The son was going in circles and ended up on a cliff over looking a valley. The son being a little scared started yelling out and began hearing his words comeback to him, but did not understand what was going on. The father heard the yelling and was able to find his son. The father and son was were reconnected and the son shared with his father his experience:
Dad I was scared and started yelling out and someone started yelling back at me. I would yell: "Help me!" and the voice would yell, Help me!. "Who are you?" Who are you? "Your a coward!" Your a coward! the son asked his dad, "Who is that?" the father (recognizing this teachable moment) laughed and said, "son that is an echo, the sound of your voice is bouncing off the rocks and coming back to you." let me show you the father hollered out "your a winner!" it came back your a winner. "You are talented!" it came back you are talented, "You've got what it takes!" it came back you've got what it takes.
The father said "son, that is how life is. You get back what ever you put into it!

So, in Life, what you send out is what you get back! What are you telling yourself?

I am clumsy, I am a loser, I cannot do anything right, Nobody likes me.

What you should be saying is:

I am a winner!
I am good lookin'.
I am strong!
People love me and love to talk to me.
I am victorious!
I am losing weight everyday.
I am a champion!

Visualization is so important in personal development. You will move toward your mental pictures. There are people who use this technique naturally in their everyday affairs, not being aware that they are using some sort of power. All successful people use it consciously or unconsciously, attracting the success they want into their life, by visualizing their goals as already accomplished.
By changing our thoughts and mental images we change our "Reality"; we change the "illusory" world we believe we live in.

We are not employing magic or supernatural powers when creating and changing our life and circumstances. It is not something "Material" that we change; we only change our thoughts, which shape our world, and influence the "Material."

2 Corinthians 4:18
18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Setbacks are just temporary!

VISUALIZE your wins before they happen.
FOCUS on the PROMISE not the situation.
Your a child of GOD!
You are a WINNER!
Don't let CIRCUMSTANCES or anyone tell you any different!

The MOST important gift YOU can give YOURSELF is a HEALTHY IMAGE of yourself!

It will CHANGE your LIFE, for the GOOD, FOREVER!
