We are always responsible for everything we think, say do, or feel. We alone have the power to choose what happens to us. Often, we shortchange ourselves because we believe we are less than we actually are. We are the enemy.
It is important to have faith in our abilities, to believe in ourselves. Now, I am not suggesting conceit – that rare disease affecting everyone but the person who has it. Rather, I want to build a reasonable confidence in your own power to reach your goals. How can you do this? Success begins when we learn what it takes to build a stronger self-concept.
We don’t perform according to our actual abilities. We perform according to our perception of our abilities. Dr. Joyce Brothers, a noted psychologist, in a Parade magazine article says, “An individual’s self- concept is the core of their personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior – the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change, the choice of mates, friends, and career. It’s no exaggeration to say that a strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life”.
We have a blueprint of our abilities. We have our own perceived set of plans, our own life-building code. Rarely do we question its validity. We follow the plan and allow that blueprint to control every talent we have.
We must learn to control the way we think.
Our thoughts program our subconscious mind, the storehouse of all impressions. The subconscious concept without question, all thoughts received and stores them for future use. By repeating thoughts often enough, we assemble the blueprint of our belief system. Soon, right or wrong, our thoughts build our reality and become a major influence on the construction of our self-concept.
By properly controlling our thinking, we can eventually correct falsely developed deficiencies and turn our thinking around. By mastering our thoughts, we begin to master our life. The end result of this process is a blueprint that we can use to build a strong house. All the huffing and puffing by the big bad wolf – your wrong beliefs – will never blow your house down.
Don’t add difficulties to your life by fabricating a poor self-concept of your abilities. Be a master architect working from correctly drawn plans. That is the only way to complete your house of success.
