"A poor self-image asks 'What's wrong with me?' A healthy

Radio: Building a Healthy Self-Image
Dr. Ben Carson, the brilliant Pediatric Neurosurgeon from
Johns Hopkins, said when he was in fifth grade his grades
were pitiful. His mother started making him and his brother
limit their TV viewing to just three hours per week. She also
made them start reading two books per week and give an
essay on each.  

Everybody loved the idea except...him and his brother.

Dr Carson said in fifth grade he saw himself as a stupid person and
therefore he acted like a stupid person. However, after the reading
exercises, he started seeing himself as a smart person and therefore started
acting like a smart person. By the seventh grade he was one of the highest
scoring students in school!

What are you doing to increase your self-image? If you wait for others to do
it you're in for a lot of let-downs. If you let someone else row your boat
they will take it where
they want to go.

We are covering specific steps on the radio in our current series, "Winning
With a Healthy Self-image." Here's a link to
last week's shows.
Our radio show discusses the good, the clean, the pure, and the positive.
If you have an issue or story that shares some positive light, or one that
needs some positive light, please email

Inspiration: Video, Did You Enjoy July 4th?
    I expect you had a great time this July 4th. It was a
    beautiful day and unlike many people around the world, we
    were able to exercise and enjoy our freedom. The video
    below reminds me of a simple but profound reality.

Like you, I'm so grateful to be free. But I've never personally experienced
life any other way.  Therefore, If I'm not careful I may become ungrateful
at times. Gratitude is said to be one of the healthiest of all human emotions.
Why don't you put that saying to the test and see how you feel after
watching this two minute video clip?

Humor: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road
In case you missed these on last week's radio broadcasts,
here is why the chicken crossed the road according to
many well-known folks. I hope you enjoy this! If you want
to hear Ron and me cutting up on the radio with these jokes
you may listen to the
clip here.

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The
chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to
engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of
the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the
road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from
Day One! — that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves
to cross the road. But then, this really isn’t about me…….

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must
first deal with the problem on ‘THIS’ side of the road before it goes after
the problem on the ‘OTHER SIDE’ of the road. What we need to do is help
him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his ‘CURRENT’
problems before adding ‘NEW’ problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from
his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this
chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life
like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
know if the chicken is on our
side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is
no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the
chicken crossing the
road…

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the
other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It
was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn’t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken
tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a
serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life-long dream of
crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2009, which will not only cross roads, but will
lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book.
Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is
much more stable and will never cra………… Reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where’s my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

Blog: The Greatest Affects on Your Self-image.
What do you think has increased your self-image the most? What do you
think has decreased your self-image the most?

My divorce likely decreased mine the most. As far as increasing, it
happened when I came to the realization that love was an inner choice and
available to every one of us in equal amounts - as soon as we're ready to
give it.
