Live up to It

 Live up to It


What do I really think?

How do I behave?

What image do I present?


If there is an internal battle, many times it is the battle of what I think, how I behave, and the self image I present.

If our thought process is the product of low self esteem, we will either behave passively, or attempt to overcompensate by appearing to be beyond that which we wish to be.


The problem with this dichotomy of thoughts/image is the vociferous internal dialogue that it creates. It’s the proverbial devil and angel sitting atop each shoulder.


The first step out of this sinkhole of self-esteem is to first describe the person you wish to be. The second step is the strength of the “why” that image is important. The third step is to behave in a way that supports the first step.


If what you want is to become smarter, read a chapter every morning on a subject that you want to know more about. If it’s to become healthier, get a meal plan and a workout program from a fitness professional - now “behave” your way to success.


Whatever we do, it’s of utmost importance to live up to the description of the person you want to be.


If it's a worthy goal, live up to it!
