How Do You See Yourself?
By Cathy Fothergill

I recently bought a gift card. When I saw it, I just
couldn't resist. On the front was a picture of a
kitten looking into a mirror. The reflection the
kitten sees is that of a lion, king of beasts.

Many would just get a little laugh out of this tiny
card. It had a much different effect on me. My mind
started pondering the many ways to look at the message
behind it.

You see, I believe that the root of our successes and
failures in this life all boil down to the message in
that little card. What we get out of life depends on
how we see ourselves. No doubt, that little kitten on
the card sees nothing as an obstacle because he sees
himself as the king of beasts. After all, a lion is
all powerful. A lion cannot be defeated. This little
kitten would not run from danger, because of the way he
sees himself.

We all have areas of our character where we need to be
able to see ourselves as lions, invincible and all
powerful. The unfortunate truth is that most don't know
how to begin to see themselves as such. We continue to
see ourselves as kittens, again and again.

Overcoming failure and achieving ultimate success
depends on our ability to be able to begin to view
ourselves as the king of the jungle in particular
areas.

What did I do with that gift card? It is prominently
displayed atop my computer tower. I gaze at it several
times each day. Every time I face a situation where I
need to see myself as a lion, that card is there to
remind me.

What areas of your life are begging for you to begin to
see yourself as a lion? Talk to yourself. Speak
positive things about yourself and your abilities. As
you do so, you will begin to become the very thing you
desire. How do you see yourself?
