Whatever It Takes

I wanted to share this very self enriching article about self esteem.  Everyone should know what is this all about.   This will make us understand fully ourselves and how to face life ahead.   It’s my wish that all the people will be fully aware on their own behavior.   In this way, life would be easier even in the most intricate situation.

Your self esteem is critical to your success….

It can be hard to identify what exactly healthy
self-esteem is.

The signs of an unhealthy self-esteem are usually
obvious. Someone who cuts themselves down a lot
and is always afraid to make big decisions or use
their talents doesn’t have healthy self-esteem.

Arrogance and boasting are also signs of a poor
self-esteem, even though the person comes across
as supremely self-confident. I think we all know
our fair share of braggarts. It’s hard to spend
time with them.

How many people do you know with healthy
self-esteem?

Nathaniel Branden says, “To trust one’s mind and
to know that one is worthy of happiness is the
essence of self-esteem.”

He goes on to say that someone with high
self-esteem is able to persist in the face of
difficulties. And the more one perseveres, the
more one is likely to succeed.

Self-esteem doesn’t let us simply feel
better…it lets us live better. And to respond
to challenges and opportunities resourcefully.

We usually tend to feel the most comfortable with
people whose self-esteem level is similar to ours.

So if you think you have low self-esteem, start
seeking out people with healthy self-esteem. Take
note of how they think and behave and try to
emulate that. We all need role models and mentors.
