Positive Thinking... You are What You Think You Are

I have noticed from the reactions of others that they must think more of me than I sometimes do of myself.  I am greeted with genuine good cheer when inside I feel insecure or very unattractive.  I have come to learn it is not necessarily about "being perfect."  That is not possible.  We are always a "work in progress" if you will.  That is the nature of things.  It is about how we feel about ourselves and how we present ourselves and that self-attitude to others. 

If I feel good about myself, I exude that to others, no matter whether I'm in shape, out of shape, or somewhere in  between.  The reverse is also true.  I tend to get a bit hung up on physical appearance because I don't think I look very good right now physically.  I can easily let that affect how I feel about myself, as if my body is "me" when it is just an aspect of my being.  That is important to remember when we get down on ourselves.  Positive thinking about what we have, instead of negative thoughts about what we have not... that is what must be practiced.

I would love to have a chat with you regarding Positive Thinking. I am in the final stage of completing my book on Positiv Thinking and hope it will be published and on the shelves for early 2007.
Have a look at my own web site.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great day
Karen

Blah, blah, blah, we moved on and the kids started asking different questions. 3 minutes later, a girl named Molly asked, "I've always heard that we were made in God's image, but sometimes I wonder if that means exactly in God's image. Like, we only have 2 arms, but what if God has 4?" Quick as lightning, a guy across the room yells, "Molly, duh- God transcends arms!".

And what about women lawyers--is it also risky to wear the wedge to a law firm interview? No one will say that the wedge is a career-killer, like flip-flops, Birkenstocks, or Crocs. But some do think they are a bit clunky, if not funky.
