Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Taking a Look at Ourselves "

Most of us are pretty sharp when it comes to noticing other people's

imperfections and faults, but what about our own?

You know, some folks have the mistaken idea that people with high

self-esteem think that they are perfect. But the truth is that high

self-esteem people are always looking for ways they can improve.

It is people whose self-esteem is shaky, who are threatened by looking at

their imperfections and weaknesses. They don't want to know about their

problems, because then they may have to actually do something about them

and, unfortunately, they don't feel very effective when it comes to solving

problems.

People with high self-esteem know that awareness of a problem is the first

step toward solving it. But they don't get bogged down in the problem. They

have a clear vision of what it will look like when the problem is fixed, and

that is what they keep uppermost in their minds. They don't beat themselves

up when they make mistakes. Instead, they use mistakes as teachers, and

learn from them.

Also, they are used to taking a personal inventory, and they feel competent

and capable when it comes to doing what needs to be done to improve

themselves and their behavior. Even when they are not sure exactly how they

will do it, they don't let that stop them because they are confident that

they can find a way. And they do.

So take an honest look at yourself. If you don't like what you see, you do

have the power to change it!
