From what I read, self perception is divided into two parts; one being self concept and the other being self-esteem. The former is referred to as your self-identity or my mental image about my abilities, knowledge, competencies and and my personality. My self-esteem is my overall evaluation of my personal worthiness or how I value myself.
My perception of myself is as follows:
First and foremost I am a child of God, I am my own life's author, I create my own masterpieces. He gave me free will so He gave me this option to create how my life should unfold. I am a Rastafarian (a proud one I might add) and I am open minded too. I am a great friend to have. I am honest 98% of the time (I may tell a "harmless lie" for lack of a better adjective). Once it is my choice to do something, or walk a particular path, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll work VERY hard towards for it. I am caring, considerate and respectful
I try not to be judgmental, but once you are human that is just a hard thing not to be. I think I am skilled at verbally expressing things, especially if I want to get the point across very clearly. I am also skilled at writing and expressing myself (if I want to be read).
I am a teacher, a concerned, willing and assiduous one. I am a daughter, sister, mother, friend and girlfriend. I am protective of my sistrens because the ones I have are rare and hard to find. I am emotional, free-spirited and nature-loving. I'm a thinker, I am always thinking metaphysically and spiritually about something. I love myself, I love my spirit and my characteristics, I adore my personality. I am very understanding. I do not believe my appearance contributes THAT much towards who I am; and I am referring to my dress code. I am currently doing a wardrobe make-over, when I'm done with that, then I will agree that my appearance contributes or reflects (a little more than before) the type of person I am. I am intelligent, (I sometimes boast or others do it for me), I love to read and I love life.
I have mixed temperaments, that is, my personality is dominantly choleric and sanguine, which means I am out-going, a daydreamer, compassionate and thoughtful, while also being full of energy, ambition and passion. hardly ever am I melancholic but sometimes I am phlegmatic especially when it comes to some courses.
I believe I have a strong heart and spirit and my mind is positively on a roll. My favourite quote is from Deepak Chopra and it says a lot about my perception: "Each of us is here to discover our true selves; that essentially we are spiritual beings who have taken manifestation in physical form;that we're not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences,
