LIVING YOUR GREATEST LIFE

Self-esteem is the way in which one views oneself as being able to manage the daily challenges that present in a constant stream,  as well as being worthy of happiness.  Self-esteem is central to everything you do.  It affects one’s behavior and thoughts.  It changes how you feel about yourself and how you value yourself.  Healthy self-esteem aligns itself with confidence in our ability to learn, to execute intelligent choices and decisions, and it allows us to adapt to change with a modicum of resistance.  Quite simply stated, self-esteem is your opinion of yourself.

In today’s society, many people fall through the cracks of the ‘daily-grind-of-life’ morphing deeper and deeper into their silent abyss.  Not quite reaching their full potential, not fully living their greatest life, simply because they have fallen prisoners of low self-esteem.  Low self-esteem stems from a poor self-image.  How one views oneself is crucial in respects to having a good self-image; which by the way balances itself with a positive attitude towards living your greatest life! 

How do you perceive yourself?  Are you a good person, someone who is dependable and accountable, kind and trustworthy?  When you look back at your reflection in the mirror do you like what you see?  Do you connect with your inner essence?  Or do you believe others are simply that much better than you?  How valued do you feel in your profession?  Does your job make you feel happy and worthy? 

Having low self-esteem, low self-image is a silent saboteur that feeds on one’s negative thoughts and perceptions, crippling you into believing the whispered criticisms others make of you.  Naturally, such negative thinking will only spiral aiding in a weakened state of confidence.  It is therefore of vital importance to cease any negative thoughts if you wish to harvest a healthy, well nurtured self-esteem.

We are all born into this world with insurmountable diversity and authenticity that perhaps, we may not all be fully aware of just how unique and special each one of us are; thereby breathing life into a false reality.  It is important to govern ourselves with reality as best as we understand it, as it will serve to nurture and support our self-esteem.  Acquiring positive thinking and consciousness is paramount for a bountiful start in nurturing self-esteem.  Connecting with our consciousness in learning to trust oneself empowers you to overcome negative thought patterns. 

 Here are a few key points to bear in mind as you endeavor on your path towards improving upon your self-esteem:

1.      Having a healthy self-esteem can be the difference between success and failure.

2.      Self-esteem affects your confidence and your self-image.

3.      Be conscious of your thoughts, negative thoughts can hinder self-esteem whereas positive thoughts will boost your self-esteem.

4.      If you don’t value yourself how will you be able to value others?

Self-esteem is not a free gift of nature.  It has to be cultivated.  It has to be earned.  Self-esteem reflects our deepest vision of our competence and our worth.  How can you expect others to view you in a positive regard if you, yourself can’t see the astounding qualities and traits you possess.  Embrace the quintessential you!  Love yourself unconditionally and in a positive light welcome all those whom enter your journey as you embark on living your greatest life.
