What Is Your Self-Concept? - Joseph W Tkach - April 1982

Joseph W Tkach

When you look at yourself, are you satisfied with what you see? How does God look at you? Is He satisfied? Look in a mirror. What do you see? A happy, beaming face? A furrowed brow? Bloodshot eyes? Your crisp new shirt? A loose thread on your dress? A skin blemish? A smart, new hairstyle? Maybe a bit of a bulge around your midsection? More important, what do you see when you look beyond that mirrored reflection at yourself as a person? A generally happy, generous type? A person with lots of drive and enthusiasm? Someone worldly wise, full of common sense, with widely varied life experiences behind him or her? A basically likable man or woman? What we see when we look at ourselves, and what we think about what we see when we look at ourselves combine to give us what psychologists call our self-concept. Psychologists view the discovery and understanding of the self-concept as one of the most significant advances in their field. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
