The way we think about ourselves determines how we behave and who we become. If I believe I am good at something, I will be more confident and have a more favorable result and my extra effort usually pays off. If I think I’m proficient at something, I have a sense of pride and I’ll continue to excel in that area.
The image we have of ourselves is like the blueprint the contractor follows when building a house. When we see ourselves sad or angry, our behavior and personality will match it. When we see ourselves withdrawn and afraid, we seem to avoid activities that involve others. How wonderful it is that we can change our behavior and ourselves by changing the picture we carry in our minds.
Do I have a good picture of myself today?
Lord, thank you for Your promise of changing my mindset to grow in love of myself and others.
