Self-image is our opinion of ourselves. All of us have it and we do not question its validity, but proceed to act upon it just as if it were true. This self-image becomes a golden key to living a better life because of two important discoveries. The first important discovery is that all our actions, feelings, behavior and abilities are always consistent with this self-images. People tend to act like the sort of person they think themselves to be. Self-image is a base upon which their entire personality and behavior are built. They are unaware of the true causes of their troubles. The second important discovery is that one’s self-image can be changed at any time in his life. Up to now our efforts at change have been directed to the circumference of the self instead of the center. “Positive thinking” about a particular thing will not help as long as we hold a negative self-image. Prescott Lecky is often mentioned because he was a pioneer in self-image psychology. He was a school teacher and made experiment on thousands of students to help them Change their self-images. He believed that if a student could change his self-image, his learning ability would change too. The real trouble with those students was an inadequate or negative self-image. IV.
