“The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with our self-image.”
— Brian Tracy

Simplified Meaning:
What we think about ourselves guides how we act. For example, if someone believes they are a good student, they will likely study more, pay attention in class, and do their homework. On the other hand, if they think they are bad at sports, they might avoid playing games or trying out for teams. This belief shapes their actions, making them live in a way that matches how they see themselves. So, if you want to change how you behave, start by changing how you see yourself. This idea can help people improve; for instance, if you start believing you are a healthy person, you may begin to eat better and exercise more.
