Success and Self-Image

When you imagine yourself in the world, how do you see yourself?  Do you see yourself as being successful?  Do you expect to succeed?

If you answered no, then you might not even try to succeed.  You might not ever consider it possible.

So what is one way to not succeed?  The now familiar word, procrastination!  It might be such an automatic behavior that you don’t even see it as being connected to maintaing your self-image.  And if you did succeed at something, you might just attribute it to luck and expect it to disappear.  If you let yourself feel successful because of your efforts, you may start to believe in yourself and have hope.  Then if the success passes, the disappointment would be devastating.  It’s much better to just not have success be part of your vision at all.

Do you resonate with this?  If so, let yourself be aware of what you are giving up to maintain your self-image.  You might decide it’s worth it, but if not, and you are willing to take more risks……

See where that possibility takes you!
