Self-Image

In the book “PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS" Maxwell Maltz "states “The Self-image is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the selfi-image and you change the personality and the behavior. This self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. It defines what you can and cannot do. Expand the self-image and you expand the area of the possible.”

I was fascinated by the way how the author explains, the inbuilt goal-striving mechanism available in each one of us and how it can be manipulated to become successful individuals. A very simple book and must be read by everyone. At times I feel these are the text’s that has to be part of the school curriculum. How much do we know about ourselves, how much we care to know about ourselves – why do we do the things that we do, why we think the way we think, why do we live the way we live – in spite of aspiring a better life. It is all with in us, would you believe if somebody said you “You create you destiny” in the beginning it was hard for me to even accept it, let alone to brood over it.

One of the things I have recognized is “learning never stops” – especially – about the self. One who invests time and resource in knowing about oneself becomes more and more successful. Never miss an opportunity to learn more about you ……here is one on Nov 4th 2009.
