Self-Image: The Key to Your Success (or The Cause of Your Failure)
“Success comes from the inside out, not the outside in” — William Ballard
I’ve been reading Dr. Maxwell Maltz's book, “The New Psycho-Cybernetics” (AFF), and I’ve discovered a lot of information about self-image that I think would benefit each of you greatly.
Especially those who are just starting their writing journey. I remember when I first started, and I wish I had known someone who could have shared this information with me. So sit back—you are in for a treat!
Self-Image: The Key to Living Your Ideal Life
Dr. Maxwell Maltz paints a vivid picture of how we self-impose limits on ourselves. These limits keep us from actually using all of our God-given potential.
Because of this, we cannot operate at our peak performance levels.
What exactly is this thing called “self-image”?
Well, simply put, it’s the image we have of ourselves. And, consequentially, all of your actions, feelings, behaviors, and abilities/skills all work in harmony with the image you have impressed upon yourself.
