When thinking about your self-image what comes to mind? If you were a plant or a flower what condition would you be in?
Are you withered, in need of water, wilting on the vine? Or are you vibrant, strong, blossoming, or in full bloom?
Let’s assume you are able to visualize yourself as strong, healthy, and full of colorful flowers. Can you imagine the fragrance of your flowers fully enough to smell the sweet perfume?
Today is a good time to ‘plant’ a vital image.

If you’ve ever noticed yourself feeling inadequate or irrelevant, you might want to also notice if you are making a victim of yourself. Are you prone to finding yourself trying to live up to the achievements of superstars?
Comparing ourselves with high-profilers–those who have made themselves names in the media–is an exercise fraught with failure. By comparing ourselves to those who have made extraordinary progress, when asking ourselves “Have I made progress?” is self-sabotaging to say the least.
Give yourself a break, and compare yourself to your own historical self instead. “How am I doing now, as compared to how I was doing 1,2,3,5, or 10 years ago?” is a much better question.

The disappointment or Saving Grace of being ordinary?
Have you let your losses named you ordinary and hopeless? We tend to equate being ordinary with failure. Being ordinary is actually a really good thing. Look around you for evidence. All around you there are ordinary people who are doing just fine. They have not allowed themselves to be defeated or disappointed.
Being “ordinary” is to keep on doing what needs to be done, and create what can be created. And this ordinary act creates extraordinary people.

Words have power. Be careful what you utter. Our words are the expressive verbalizations of what we’re experiencing within. We speak our thoughts and our thoughts and words can be powerful indeed.
Words have a quality of vibration. Notice your daily vocabulary. Is it fear and lack? Or is it joy and abundance.

It’s doom and gloom everywhere. So easy to be dragged down by what you see around you, what you hear around you. Fear and apprehension creeps in. You let go of your sunny disposition. And this becomes a downward spiral that feeds off each other and only drags you further down, down.
