The Man In The Glass  Peter Dale Wimbrow  

When you get what you want in your struggle for selfAnd the world makes you king for a dayJust go to the mirror and look at yourselfAnd see what that man has to say.

For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must passThe fellow whose verdict counts most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glass.

He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the restFor he’s with you, clear to the endAnd you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous testIf the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of yearsAnd get pats on the back as you passBut your final reward will be heartache and tearsIf you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

Brain and Self-Esteem (failures)

- The brain is made up of cells called neurons. - These cells have nerve endings. Nerve

endings release chemical and electrical stimuli to communicate with each other.

- forms neuro-pathways in the brain and is the basis for how the brain works.

- When you initially learn something the pathway or connection is weak. The

- more frequently you think a particular thought the stronger the pathway becomes,

- forming an automatic habit of thinking.

- Eventually becomes AUTOMATIC

Riding a Bike

- Your brain works the same way in forming how you think about yourself.

- As a child your thoughts about yourself are formed from the messages you’ve heard and believed from important and influential people in your life.
