You are what you think. Did you know that you become what you think? Yes, you are the sum total of your thoughts. Your thoughts shape you so learn to scrutinize them. Only you possess the power to affirm or negate yourself. Other people may say bad things about you, but it is you that make their words real when you lend credence to their sayings. Stop allowing yourself to buy into their verdict of you. 

Your persona is entirely based on your own personal evaluation of yourself and it reflects your overall sense of what you think, feel and believe about yourself. When you possess a healthy and positive self-regard you will feel confident and good about yourself. You are generally content with yourself and your capabilities. Self-respect and self-worth are linked to self-love. That equates to you feeling that you are worthy of respect. When you possess an inferiority complex, you are inclined to place little value on your own opinions and ideas. The first step is to recognize the quality of your thoughts. Become curios about yourself, take time to discover who you really are as a person. If it is not healthy and positive then understanding where these thoughts originate from, will help you to address and correct it. It generally stems from circumstances that you encountered that touched your sense of self and bruised your soul. You can overcome feeling inadequate by practicing self-care, mindfulness and meditation to get to know your authentic self. 

A healthy positive mindset has a significant influence on one's success and life experience and it allows one to feel proud and valuable. Your mindset determines whether you fundamentally believe that you are "good enough" and capable of intellectual and social skills. There is a definite correlation between a positive self-image and successful accomplishments. Your self-regard influences your sense of Self and it is therefore deemed a key aspect of mental well-being. A healthy self-regard typically allows one to challenge negative experiences by being confident and nurturing to oneself in ways that are indicative of how deserving of respect you feel you are. You must always remember your worthiness is an innate birth right dependant on nothing outside of yourself, but entirely based on you being you. It is the recognition that you are a valuable human being that is simply worthy of love. Just you being alive attest to what a unique and special being you truly are. 

Honouring yourself is to be committed to your right to exist. Learn to recognise and understand that it is your own behaviour and decisions that determine the resulting outcome. When you equate your successes with your own efforts you will feel empowered. Choose to focus on the positives, the possibilities and exploring new experiences for learning and growth.  

You are what you think. You become what you think. What you think becomes your reality so infuse positivity into your thought patterns to create more positive outcomes – Zibeth Rose   

Use positive self-talk to generate a positive change in your life, attitude and beliefs. You can employ self-talk to shape your emotions and behaviour. You have to learn to be your own best friend because oftentimes you will actually be your own worst enemy. Cultivating a healthy self-regard is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself. It will enhance your faith in your own abilities. You are or rather can be in control of your thoughts. Now that you know you become what you think about, use it. It is essential to use your mindset to aid you in shifting your vibration into a more positive direction and prevent yourself from spiralling into negativity. 

When you respect yourself others will follow your cue and treat you with deference. Remember that ultimately life is what you make of it. Awaken to the greatness inside of you. Will you harness the power within your mind to work to your benefit or will you let it control you? Dare to take control of yourself and become the master of your thoughts.
