\u201cSelf-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.\u201d Maxwell Maltz. His writing has changed the lives of millions of people during the past decades. He was ahead of his time when it came to the power of thinking and self-image. The only other person I think of when I consider all Maltz accomplished was Joseph Murphy the author of, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. If you have never read it – I highly recommend it. I can\u2019t cover the topic of self-image and self-esteem in a short 75 words but what I can do is say that according to every professional in the Psychology field \u2013 is that your self-image.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.\u201d Ernest Holmes. We are all projection entities. Projection is a psychological term that means basically that what you don\u2019t like about yourself – you see it (project it) as part of those around you. What you like about others that isn\u2019t in you, you tend to self-project it back into yourself (I just made that one up). Let me state it another way . . . every thought you have comes from somewhere inside you. From your past, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your plans, etc. So, if you are surrounded by people you don\u2019t like \u2013 look in the mirror first. If your life is filled with drama, negatives, uncertainty, etc. \u2013 look in the mirror first. If you are fearful about the future \u2013 do I have to keep repeating your response? We are all what I call self-magnets and we attract to us a reflection of what and who we are, what we feel, what we believe, what we want etc. So, it\u2019s simple really if you want something in your life to be different \u2013 look in the mirror first and don\u2019t point fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne today is worth two tomorrows.\u201d Ben Franklin. Ever wondered if today was your last day here? Come on Tim, wisdom is not about being morbid or negative. Sorry, just trying to deal with a bit of reality. Last year I lost several special people in my life and I didn\u2019t know I was going to when the year started. I\u2019ll wager last year you lost at least one person who was special in some way. Today – it\u2019s just a day, 24 hours one of 365 others this year \u2013 big deal. Well, it is for thousands of people every day in the US alone. What is tomorrow anyway? It\u2019s the future, a blank slate, filled with potential and unknowns both positive and negative. Or for many people is just another day \u2013 same stuff, different day. Ever known someone who was told they only had so much time to live left? Well, folks \u2013 that\u2019s all of us cause one day whether we know it or not, it will be our last day here. So, my question is how do you want to leave here while you are given your last 24 hours . . . laughing, whining, crying, regretting, planning, playing, hoping, or just waiting? I don\u2019t know about you but I\u2019m leaving here laughing no matter what the circumstances. If you don\u2019t believe me I\u2019ll give you the contact info for my; cardiologist, urologist, and others and you can ask them. Life is short folks. Life is fragile. Live it, have fun, and enjoy it while you are still here. Cause when we are gone \u2013 that\u2019s it. And I\u2019m not talking here about Heaven because I haven\u2019t been there yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
