YOUR SELF IMAGE

Separate Your Mistakes from Your Self Image

Sometimes it’s so easy not to separate our behavior from our image of ourselves, to separate the sin from the sinner, so they say. When we make blunders, we feel we’re failures. When we have broken relationships, we feel we are broken too and worthless.

However, if we truly desire to improve our relationship with ourselves, we must learn to practice acknowledging our errors without eroding our overall belief in our worth. So you failed in your exams, does it mean you haven’t learned anything? So you weren’t accepted for a job, does it mean no employer would later on trust you and consider you a valuable asset to his company?

Things like these happen. Things change. What should remain intact is our respect and love for ourselves, our belief that we are God’s children and no matter how many mistakes we make along the way, we are still destined for Grace and eternal Joy!
