Improve Your Self Image And You will Achieve Success

Your self image holds the master key to your success. No matter what level of success you achieve ‘outwardly’ in your life, your life will, ultimately, only ever grow to the extent that you do or, more specifically, the extent that your self image does.

Our self image is what makes us behave ‘like us’. As such, the habits we acquire, and the way we ultimately ’see’ ourselves in our life, are a direct result of our self image and the way that our self image views ourselves.

As you achieve success, wealth, or ’status’ in your life, if your self image gets left behind, eventually you will find yourself losing your grip on what you have achieved.

It comes down to the fundamental issue of ‘derservability’. Does the self image believe that we deserve to have what we have achieved? If not, you will not stay there, because the self image, like all of us, has a very comfortable comfort zone.

If the self image asks “Is this really me?”, and the answer is “No”, the self image can not accept what we have become and will change or modify our behaviors to get us back to a level that it feels that we ‘deserve’.

Note here that self image has nothing to do with ‘ego’, which is on the ‘outside’ and is bolstered up by ‘outside’ events, like praise or adulation from the outside world. Your self image is the praise or adulation which you give yourself. The self-talk on the inside, the images that you reflect from within to the outside world.

To sum up, our thoughts, habits and actions are what get us to the level that we want to be in our life but it is the self image which is responsible for keeping us there.
