What do you see when you look in the mirror?

My dear friend Joe Tye who is a speaker and writer posed these questions in an email to me which I think you will find valuable…

Question #1: What do you see when you look in the mirror? Is your self-image that of a winner who can substantially determine your future through your actions, or as a victim who is helplessly under the control of other people and outside circumstances?
Question #2: Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror? Low self-esteem is often the excuse we give to rationalize away our cowardice and laziness - if we don’t believe we deserve to achieve and to belong, we’re much less likely to even try.

Any time we look in the mirror and pretend to see less than what is really there, any time we turn our backs on our own incredible potential, that’s exactly what we are doing. I want you to think what it would take for you to be present to the incredible person that you are?

Practice starting today by looking at yourself in the mirror for a minimum of one minute and say wonderful things to yourself….one minute a day to begin. A minute is not a lot to ask for and you are so worth it!
