• Put a higher value on being awake, aware, and alert.
• Resist conformity. Don’t think and act like everyone else.
• Value yourself. Don’t wait for the approval of others to validate you. Instead of desiring external validation, strive to help others.
• Expose your mind to a higher vision through art, poetry, and music.
• Question your own core beliefs.
• Work on reducing the demands of the ego. Expand beyond the limits of “I, me, mine.”
• Aim for the highest meaning that your life can have.
• Keep faith that inner growth is an unending process.
• Walk the spiritual path, however you define it, with sincerity and hope.

Very interesting i like to study my own behaviors sometimes too, that is how we grow to believe in ourselves and learn how to understand others behaviors towards us too. Its always a step in the right direction.

Yes I often wonder how others perceive me. It is the only way I can try to make positive changes since I know my own self image is very skewed.
