What we think of ourselves is far more important than what others may think of us. Let's face it; our self-image influences our self-esteem and we may end up by being either confident and happy with our image or doubtful and miserable about everything in us. Eventually, that would leave a great impact in our lives. One of the most important steps in creating a good self-image is to start loving oneself. Yes, nobody's perfect and being perfect is boring! Making mistakes is a part of our journey and we must learn from it. Imperfections and flaws make us beautiful. So, why do we need to hate ourselves? Remember, our attitude and behavior reflect what we really think of us. If we don't appreciate ourselves, who will? Next, everyone should try to improve himself or herself everyday. We may be not so good at something or even fail in it, but what we do after our failure is what shows the real us. The key to success is not to give up, but try harder. Thus, we should do all the best to remind our inner strength not to underestimate our abilities but nurture our wings to fly higher and higher. We tend to think that others are better than us or that they have more than we do, or that they're richer, smarter, luckier... These are just excuses we give while trying to hide the real problem within us; the problem is in the way we look at life and at ourselves. I once read a quote which says: "You have to be yourself, yes, but try being the best version of yourself." Are we the best version of ourselves? Any Kasparian Bacc II

A human being is not just a stack of blood and meat and a couple of bones to keep it all standing; he is more than that. A human being is a rational being. It is a being that can think and analyze; and, one of the first things you think about is yourself: who are you? What do you like? Are you amicable enough or stone-cold? Is your hair looking good today, or not? The list of questions may go on and on; however, the main question you should ask yourself is: how much do you like yourself?
Let's begin with the "Self-Image" concept. A self-image is basically made or formed by the impressions you receive from your surrounding about you. It begins from the very moment when words have a massive impact on you. This is the sole reason you either become confident in literally everything you do, or you cower and live in doubt for ever after. In any case, when you hit the age of maturity, you form a very firm picture of who you are in your head, and you try to apply it, why? Because the person that is you, and I'm not talking about you when you're surrounded by people, but when you're alone; is completely and utterly different from who you show you are. In the deepest parts of a human soul, you find thoughts and ideas that are wise and old, yet never shown. The person processing those concepts fails at being authentic and hides them to show a more superficial image to the society, not to mention that we live in world where being true to yourself is sadly not the norm. On another note, the thoughts affect the abilities. If I happen to think that I can't do this or that, my body will not help me do these things. Your brain is mastered by you and only you. Your muscles and nerves work according to what you think. Now, I'm against the idea of keeping it "positive". Being positive is like a roller coaster that goes up and up; yet, at some point, it has a steep fall. It's even humanly impossible to always be positive (or even always be negative, in that case). I've always found being realistic is like a constant curb which neither goes up nor down. Furthermore, the self-image you make of yourself should be applicable so that you find self-satisfaction at the end of the day. You may often seek perfection of your persona, but remember that humanity failed at keeping its history perfect while perfecting it. If you're content with some things in you, you're halfway there; but if you're not, I think it's high time you took a step forward even if everyone around you disliked the alteration. You need to adapt for a new lifestyle, reshape your exterior self in order to get closer to the person you are in your head. This modification may make you lose some friends, relatives, people you used to trust, etc... but you must never let it backfire. If people can't bring themselves to like and condone you the way you are, then to hell with them. To me, there are two rules for living a happy life: 1) Never care about how others perceive you. 2) Live with people whom you can get along with. People have this constant fear of looking ridiculous or sounding ignorant, though it is utterly stupid. Why should you concede to the ideas of an insane world built on shallow principles? As Emily Dickinson once wrote, "Pardon my insanity in a world insane." The universe revolves around your thoughts, and it is by accepting your characteristic defaults that you reach imperfect perfectionism of your self-image. In brief, the key to have a true, authentic, genuine self-image is daring. You must dare to show and prove who you are, disregarding the ominous voice in your head that keeps on suggesting you cannot do something, because you know you can. You know it.
