The Psychology of Winning: Ten Qualities Of A Total Winner
Study Guide Chapter 6:
“Positive Self-Image”
What is positive self-image?
Positive self-image is seeing yourself as a winner. Your self-image is the kind of person you think you are. It is the way you see yourself.
If you consistently see yourself as being successful and a winner, then you have a positive self-image. The opposite is true too.
Winners in life always have a positive self-image. They take control over their self-image and see themselves as being a successful kind of person.
Why is positive self-image important?
There is a direct relationship between your self-image and your performance in any area of your life.
Why? People always act in ways that are consistent with their self-image. Everything they do is based on their idea of the kind of person they think they are.
It is very difficult to do things that go against your self-image. If you can’t see yourself doing something or achieving something, you will not do it.
If you have a low self-image you will act like that kind of person. If you see yourself as a winner you will act like a person who succeeds.
Your self-image cannot be escaped, but it can be CHANGED. To make any big, long-lasting change in your life, you need to change your self-image.
The power of your imagination can change your self-image. Winners imagine themselves being the kind of person they want to become.
