You are what you think you are

It's obvious, much human behavior is puzzling. Watch. You'll observe that some people command confidence, loyalty, and admiration while others do not.
Look closer still, & you'll also observe that those persons who command the most respect are also the most successful.
Other's see in us what we see in ourselves We receive the kind of treatment we think we deserve. Thinking does make it so. The fellow who thinks he is inferior, regardless of what his real qualifications may be. is inferior. For thinking regulates actions. The person who feels he isn't important, isn't.
Ont the other side, a fellow who really thinks he is equal to the task, is.
To be important, we mist think we are important, really think so; then others will think so too.
How you think determines how you act.
How you act in turn determines:
How others react to you.

LOOK IMPORTANT-IT HELPS YOU THINK IMPORTANT.
Remember, your appearance "talks." Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like the kind of person you want to be.
Use clothing as a tool to lift your spirits, build confidence. Look sharp because it will help you think sharp.
Your physical exterior affects your mental interior. How you look on the outside affects how you think and feel on the inside.
We look at some people and respond with the "Hey, Mac" attitude. We look at others and respond with the "Yes, sir" feeling.
A person's appearance definitely talks. The well-dressed person's appearance says positive things. It tells people, "Here is an important person: Intelligent, prosperous, and dependable. This man can be looked up to, admired, trusted. He respects himself, and I respect him."
Pay twice as much & buy half as many. Commit this answer to memory. Then practice it. Apply it to hats, suits, shoes, socks, coats-everything you wear. Insofar as appearance is concerned, quality is far more important than quantity. When you practice this principle, you'll find that both your respect for yourself and the respect of others for you will zoom upward.
You owe it to others-but more important, you owe it to yourself-to look your best.
You are what you think you are. If your appearance makes you think you're inferior, you are inferior. If it makes you think small, you are small. Look your best and you will think and act your best.
You are what you think you are, what your thought power directs you to become. Think you're weak, think you lack what it takes, think you will lose, think you are second-class-think this way, and you are doomed to mediocrity.
Think instead, I am important. I do have what it takes. I am a first-class performer. My work is important. Think this way, and you're headed straight to success.
The key to winning what you want lies in thinking positively toward yourself. The only real basis other people have for judging your abilities is your actions. And your actions are controlled by your thoughts.
You are what you think you are.
We've all noticed how children quickly pick yp the attitudes, habits, fears, and preferences of their parents. Whether it be food preferences, mannerisms. religious ad political views. or any other type of behavior, the child is a living reflection of how his parents or guardians think; for he learns through imitation.
And so do adults. People continue to imitate others through out life. And they imitate their leaders and supervisors; their thoughts and actions are influenced by these people.
Consider just one characteristic of successful people; enthusiasm.
If you have enthusiasm, those around you will have it, too.
Think enthusiastically. Build in yourself an optimistic, progressive glow, a feeling that "this is great and I'm 100% for it."
Think enthusiasm and you'll be enthusiastic. To get high-quality work, be enthusiastic about the job you want done. Other's will catch the enthusiasm you generate and you'll get first-class performance.
Practice uplifting self-praise. Don't practice belittling self-punishment.
You are what you think you are. Think more of yourself and there is more of you.
Build your own "sell-yourself-to-yourself" commercial.
Every day you and I see half-alive people who are no longer sold on themselves. They lack self-respect for their most important product-themselves. These folks are indifferent. They feel small. They feel like nobodies, and because they feel that way, that's what they are.
The half-alive person needs to be resold on himself. He needs to realize that he's a first-class person. He needs honest, sincere belief in himself.
"I thought I was inferior to just about anybody and everybody. I realize that I've got what it takes to win and I'm winning. And I'm always going to win."
Remind yourself that you are a first-class person.
