What you think of your self will eventually be who you are.
We create our own image of ourselves, look in the mirror who do you see ? I heard a saying once “fake it till you make it”.
It doesn’t mean to lie. It means believe in yourself or nobody will believe in you. Success and Failure spreads like a virus, the good news is we create both. That means we can to some degree control our destiney. Everyone fails, there isn’t a person alive that hasn’t failed at some point in their life. I know of another good saying “winners never quit and quitters never win”.

Hi Larry, like you I believe 100% that we are responsible for ‘fashioning’ ourselves and that includes the good and the bad, internal and external. Sometimes I’m better at swallowing my own medicine than others but I never forget this truth.
Here are some of my favourite quotes which I think align very well with this philosophy:
“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.” Jim Rohn
“Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.” Benjamin Disraeli
“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.” Zig Ziglar
“What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies. The more you think of grievances, the more such trials you will continue to receive; the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you.” Emmet Fox
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” Theodore Roosevelt
“Change your thoughts and you change your world.” Norman Vincent Peale
“Everything you can imagine is real.” Pablo Picasso
All of these quotes I read periodically to give myself inspiration when I need it or when life throws a curve ball at me. They help me pull my shoulders back, pull up my boot straps and on occasion slap myself around the face with a cold wet fish! (Figuratively speaking of course)
