10 PRINCIPLES

Stop and ask yourself today, "How do I really feel about myself?"  Before you answer read these ten principles.

Better yet, keep them before you daily.

********
 
(1)  Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

********
 
(2)  Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

********
 
(3)  Don't compare yourself to anybody else.  You're unique, one of a kind, an original.  So don't settle for being a copy.

********
 
(4)  Focus on your potential, not your limitations.  Remember, God lives in you!

********
 
(5)  Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

********
 
(6)  Have the courage to be different.  Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

********
 
(7)  Learn to handle criticism.  Let it develop you instead of discourage you.

********
 
(8)  Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you.  They'll short-change you!

********
 
(9)  Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress.

********
 
(10)  Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you!
