First up, welcome to my little corner of the Internet.

if our thermostat is set too low, the boiler won’t even ‘fire up’. Just like our self image!

Yes, we need to be vigilant to ensure that our pilot light never goes out. And I think if that ever happens to someone we love or care about, we need to tread very carefully indeed. A person who is there is most likely in need of some professional help and/or medication. I’ve been there myself. It’s a scary, lonely place.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Paul. Always a pleasure to see a new face in my comments section.

Kind regards,
Steve.

A great post; I love your comparison with a thermostat. Paul McKenna is his book’ “I can make you rich” uses the same analogy. Explain if we want to increase our wealth we turn up the thermostat.

On the other side of that and referring to our heating system thermostat; the unfortunate thing is if our thermostat is set too low, the boiler won’t even ‘fire up’. Just like our self image!

Thank you for sharing.

I’ve just read a great article about self-esteem that I think ties in nicely with this article. I recommend you go have a read.

And it is even worse when that someone else is yourself.

Thanks for stopping by, mate. Always a pleasure to see you here.

Oh, and congratulations on not landing in my spam bucket this time

Kind regards,

I love this point you made “People who harbour a negative self-image filter every decision through it, and the negative self-image becomes a motivation block.” It sums up everything perfectly. You’re view of yourself filters your view of the world.

It comes down to focus – which we’ve talked about before. Whatever you focus on determines your reality. If you focus on a negative self-image you’ll never reach and achieve those things in life you want more than anything else. Change your self-image and beliefs about yourself. Make your world a more positive place.
