See Yourself

What you consistently see in your mind you will consistently find.

If you always see yourself as a goofball, a failure, a nothing; then despite all the awesome gifts you have, you will end up just like you see yourself. If you see yourself as a success, a difference maker, a champion, then no matter what obstacles you face, you will end up the way you see yourself. The way you see yourself on a consistent basis is what you will be. Even when you’re not a failure, you will find ways to fail. When you see yourself as not loved, no matter how much people love you; you will find a way to turn away their love. I have found in my own life at times that I would sabotage relationships. I didn’t think I deserved to be loved or cared about, so I would find a way to sabotage what was there. It took changing how I saw myself in my mind to change that. Now I am able to have a wonderful marriage and other friends, because I see myself as a great husband, wonderful father, and good friend. I am always working on being better at each. It all goes back to how I see myself though.  How do you see yourself on a consistent basis?
