To achieve the goal of being a high value man or woman, there are number of qualities and attributes taught by wise men, that can literally transform anyone’s life and develop it into an exemplary for others.

In this blog, we will explore the ways to cultivate a positive self-image and a high value life full of respect and gratitude from the wisdom of Moula Ali (Peace be upon him) and some insights from the modern psychology.

Moula Ali on self-worth

Moula Ali, a prominent figure in the history and most revered figure in the Islam, has provided timeless wisdom on the quality of earning self-worth and a positive self-image. Here are a few quotes attributed to him that can guide us in the journey of achieving the core fundamental of positive self-image.

  • “A man’s true wealth is his self-respect”. One should never compromise at any cost, if finger raises against his/her self-respect. Knowing the personal worth is the greatest consciousness ever revealed. You may have seen many individuals that are old enough to be revered but do not possess a single attribute to be respected, their actions repel people away from them. In contrast, some at the very young age learn to carry proper conduct that not only bring positivity in their personality but, too, develop their self-respect among their family, friends and relatives.
  • “A wise man thinks first and then speaks, and a fool speaks first and then thinks”. The quote is too simple to be understood. One should never hurry or blurt something that he/she doesn’t know about its consequences. A fool always does hurry to do things and end up disastrous results. However, a wise man never hurries but carefully watches his/her steps, especially during talk and saves both dignity and respect.
  • “Be not proud of much wealth but be proud of your good character”. A man with self-image in the society has high character always. People always tend to revere those who are humble not arrogant in the actions. Having much wealth can never signify anyone’s character rather those are whose acts decorate their whole of personality.

Psychology of positive self-image

Modern psychology and scientific research also align with above ideas. Here some feasible and practical steps to develop self-image.

  • “Practice gratitude”. Gratitude is something that would never let you fall into the trap of despair. Whenever, you feel down, always look down on those who are under your thumb. by this you would get to know significance of your life and your creator. And keep hardworking and wait for your turn.
  • “Focus on progress, not perfection”. Keep doing what makes you feel better. Don’t look for instant success or being most perfect in your work before specified time. Rather focus on what you are doing, no matter how slow it is but never stop doing work. One day you will also achieve perfection in your work.
  • “Embrace your uniqueness”. Everyone is born with different personality and uniqueness. There might be a few tasks where you fail all the time and are not made for you. But somewhere there will be something fit for your uniqueness. Wait and till then, work on yourself.

  • “Surround yourself with supportive people”. This is most important line ever. Run away from negative people, they are parasites in your life. They would never appreciate your efforts and will chide you on minor falls. Imbibe with saints and those people who know your worth and value and those who always encourage you. This will bring significant transformation in your positive self-image and overall personality growth.
