How to understand that you are greater than you think?

Self-image is the key to human thinking and behavior. It can limit the scope of personal achievements and define what you can and can't do. Fully and truly expanding your self-image can increase your new abilities and talents, and even turn defeat into victory.

Ego is like our understanding of "who I am", which is established from our "belief" in ourselves. However, most beliefs are acquired unintentionally, which are related to our past experiences, our success or failure, our grievances, our pride and others' attitudes towards us, and childhood experiences are the most influential. Once our thoughts are integrated into this mental image, it will become very real. We don't consider it right or wrong, but take it as true.

Self is like the golden key to a new life.

All your actions, emotions, behaviors and even abilities are consistent with your self-image.

In short, everything you say and do is like the person you think you are. Not only that, you really can't show any other behavior. People who think they are "unlucky everywhere", even if they have lofty goals and strong perseverance, even if good opportunities come to them, may eventually fail.

For example, if a student thinks his homework is poor, or his math is poor, his report card will definitely prove that he thinks it is good. If a girl thinks that no one likes her, she won't really be invited to the school dance. Her sad face, low self-esteem, ingratiating herself with others and hostility towards those who might offend her all scared people away. Similarly, a salesman's experience will prove that his self-image is right.

Due to the proof of this objective fact, a person can't think that this is his own self-image or his opinion of himself at all. If you tell a student that he just thinks he can't learn algebra well, he will say that you are crazy because he has tried several times and his grades are still poor. If you tell a salesman that he thinks he can't achieve the result, he will show you how hard he worked and finally failed. But when they change their self-image, students' grades will improve rapidly and the sales staff's performance will rise miraculously.

The self-image will change. Numerous examples show that it is never too young or too old to change your self-image and start a new life.

Your self-image is closely related to your behavior: a positive attitude leads to positive thinking and behavior, which will inevitably form a positive attitude.

There is a story: a Frenchman, 42 years old, still has nothing to do, and he himself feels unlucky: divorce, bankruptcy, unemployment ... he doesn't know his survival value and the meaning of life. He was very dissatisfied with himself and became eccentric, irritable and fragile at the same time. One day, a gypsy was telling fortune in the streets of Paris. He gave it a try at will.

After reading the palm, the gypsy said, "You are a great man, you are really great!" " "

"What?" He was surprised. "I am a great man. Are you kidding? "

The gypsy said quietly, "Do you know who you are?"

"Who am I?" He thought to himself, "What a unlucky ghost, a poor man, a man abandoned by life!" " "

But he still pretended to be calm and asked, "Who am I?"

"You are a great man," said the gypsy. "Do you know that you are the reincarnation of Napoleon? Your blood, your courage and wisdom belong to Napoleon! Sir, do you really not realize that you look like Napoleon? "

"Impossible ..." He said with some hesitation. "I'm divorced ... I'm bankrupt ... I'm unemployed ... I'm almost homeless ..."

"Hey, that's your past," the gypsy had to say. "Your future is terrible! If you don't believe me, sir, you don't have to pay. However, in five years, you will be the most successful person in France! Because you are the embodiment of Napoleon! "

The French left with a look of disbelief, but there was a great feeling in their hearts that they had never felt before. He is very interested in Napoleon. After returning home, I tried my best to find all the books and writings related to Napoleon for research. Gradually, he found that the surrounding environment began to change, and friends, family, colleagues and bosses all looked at him in another way and with another expression. My career has also started to go smoothly.

Later, he realized that nothing had changed except himself: his courage and mode of thinking were imitating Napoleon, even walking and talking.

13 years later, at the age of 55, he became a billionaire, and he was a famous French successful man-William heckman.

Self-image is a premise, foundation or foundation, and your whole personality and behavior, even the surrounding environment, are based on it. Therefore, our experience will be "confirmed", so that our self-image will be "strengthened", forming a vicious or virtuous circle.

Those who have hit a wall everywhere in the past can also achieve success by changing their self-image. Psychology has proved that people's nervous system can't tell the difference between "actual" experience and "imaginary" experience, so the past frustration experience can be made up by "comprehensive experience" (the successful experience created in the heart), which makes many people thoroughly remould themselves, more willing to accept themselves, experience successful experiences and live happily.
