How do you perceive yourself? Do you have a positive self-perception? Or a negative one? Just so you know, reality and negativity are not automatically the same thing!
How do others perceive you? Have you ever asked your close friends or family that question? Has anyone ever just volunteered to share their perceptions of you with you?
Is who you are on the inside who you are reflecting on the outside? If not, why not?
You are the only person who really knows who you are. Thus, you are the only person who can alter how you perceive yourself and how others perceive you.
If you are finding that others are not treating you the way you think they should, take a look at what you are projecting to them. Feel that you are lacking respect...are you projecting the impression of a person who deserves respect, or are you not?
Humans have a tendency to mirror, or reflect, back to others what they project to us. If someone is speaking to you in an angry tone, notice how easy it is to respond in like manner. Or the most obvious example...ever tried to not smile at someone smiling at you? There is a reason for the saying that smiles are contagious.
If things are not working in your life and people do not seem to be treating you the way you want them to, it is time to take a good look at yourself and your self-perception. If you think you are a victim, you will project that and others will treat you like one. Thankfully the opposite is true. Believe you are a winner and soon those around you will treat you like a winner.
