2. SPIES: Social and Physical Self-Image and Self Esteem O Our self image is our perception of who we are, what we can do and how we are limited. Building a healthy self- image requires time, energy and patience. O The foundation of a healthy self-image is unconditional love. Unconditional love does not need to be earned. It is given freely and completely. O Ideally, unconditional love is offered first by our parents and then by other significant people in our lives.

3. O We will also receive negative messages from others at certain times in our development. These messages may have a damaging effect upon the development of our self image, but this negative effect can be offset by love, acceptance and respect. O As we mature, we develop the capacity to choose which messages from others we wish to use to build our self-image and which messages we wish to reject as untrue or unimportant.

9. O As we mature, we develop the capacity to choose which messages from others we wish to use to build our self- image and which messages we wish to reject as untrue or unimportant. O Our actions both express and shape our personality. O We are called to respect the rights and dignity of others and to show endless compassion. O Respecting others and treating others with compassion is often difficult when others are irritating, rude or cruel. We must call upon our self-discipline in order to choose to act as Jesus did.

10. O Define self-image. O What is the foundation of self-image? O How is unconditional different from other types of love? Who usually offers it? O What happens if a person does not receive unconditional love? O How can we help a person who has not received unconditional love? O How does self-discipline connect to the concept of compassion?
