Self-esteem is a
tricky thing. It is primarily an
emotional response to what we have done and what has been done to us. We do not realize it is developing and
growing our entire lives … usually without our consent.
In Maxwell Maltz’
book, Psycho-cybernetics, he says,
“All your actions, feelings, behaviors – even your abilities - are always
consistent with your self-esteem.
In short, you will ‘act like’ the sort of person you conceive yourself
to be.”
Oscar Wilde said,
“Most people are other people.
Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions; their lives are a mimic-ry;
their passion’s a quotation.”
Ever wonder why some
people behave the way they do? The
answer is low self- esteem. Look
at their behavior. Watch their
actions toward others. Examine their
morals and principles. Peek into
their ongoing work ethics. Assess
how they dress. Discover their
childhood background. The lower
the self-esteem and confidence the more anxious, fearful, uneasy, apprehensive,
guilty, and paranoid they behave.
They have a long history of making poor decisions that affects their
future goals, family, friends, their mental, spiritual and physical health.
If you suffer with
low self-esteem:
1. Do an internal
audit on where these motives and feelings were developed,
2. Make a pledge to
be responsible for who you are, what you have and what you are going to do
with yourself.
3. Mistakes are
simply that – a mistake. Visualize a new image of success.
4. Fall in love with
yourself. You have so much to
offer.
5. Consciously
release the past and live in the present you have always wanted.
