Self Image.

I read in the Age March 8/2007, the Thought of the Day, attributed to 20th Century British Composer William Watson, who said, “People who have a self-image of worth are going to see value in what they do.”

Although William Watson died 134 years before I read this reflection of his, I have to say that nothing has changed in the intervening years.

Some people have gone through most of their lives being so sublimely put down that they have long ceased to notice it. Don’t notice it, until they start to have a life of their own and start to see some value in what they are now achieving.

You know the story! You start to have some success and suddenly some around you start to find fault in everything you do. Nothing major mind you. Just constant nit picking in general and sometimes even in public. This is because the realize that they have lost their previous strong hold over you and your emotions.

What about you? Is this familiar to you? Or do you already see real value in all that you do? Have you so gone through most of your life being so sublimely put down that you no longer notice it? Don’t notice it, until you start to have some success and suddenly those around you start to find fault in everything you do.

Or are you one of those constantly putting others down because they are outgrowing you and your hold over them. Will you not let them see real value in what they are doing?

In closing what is your true self image and will you also allow others to display their own true self image? Truly over to you: Walter
