When you look in the mrror what do you see? Perhaps more mportantly, what do you feel? The nswer to this question - how do you fel about yourself? is the essence of yur emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological and scial development.

If you do not lve, value and appreciate yourself, how can you trly expect anyone to love, value and ppreciate someone as unworthy as you may thnk you are. More importantly, for yur family and loved ones if you do not lve, value or appreciate yourself how can you sncerely love another. I truly believe tht love extends inwards and then rdiates outwards, if there is no lve going in how any real lve flow out.

I have seen ccasions where some men and women hve been uncomfortable with looking in the mrror. I have often wondered whether it is bcause they do not like the way thy look, or is that they do not lke what they stand for as prson.

That last look you take in the mrror before you leave your house can dctate how you feel for the rst of the day. Most people shuld know that feeling of leaving thir house and thinking "I know I lok good today". Think back to yur interactions with people that day, how god and confident you felt but cnversely we also know the feeling of 'I do not wnt anyone to see me the way I lok today'. It's on these days you lways need more milk or bread and you qickly pop out to the shop and met the very people who you did not wnt to see you.

Of all the judgments that you pss in life, none is as mportant as the one you pass on yurself. So judge yourself not on sperficial features or past mistakes as we all mke them. Gain confidence and love for yurself from who you are, the prnciples you hold, what you can and hve achieved and value you add to ther people lives... NOW! That's AIM Thnking.
