Esteem is a simple word. It is worth and value that we apply to people, places, and situations. It is the amount of respect we assess. We have esteem for our world leaders. We have esteem for places like church and synagogue. We have esteem for an exemplary performance whether it is in sports, acting, or simply doing the right thing.
But the most important place we need to apply esteem is within ourselves to find our happiness within. We must maintain our self-esteem in order to place value on ourselves as a worthy individual in the world. Self-esteem can affect every single part of our lives. If that esteem is low, our lives will be dull and gray. Elevating esteem four ourselves could very well be the key to happiness in life.
Most people’s feelings and thoughts about themselves fluctuate somewhat based on their daily experiences. The grade you get on an exam, how your friends treat you, ups and downs in a romantic relationship-all can have a temporary impact on your wellbeing.
Your own self-esteem however is something more fundamental than the normal “ups and downs” associated with situational changes. For people worthy good basic self-esteem, normal “ups and downs” may lead to temporary fluctuations in how they feel about themselves, but only to a limited extent. In contrast, for people with poor basic self-esteem, these “ups and downs” may make all the difference in the world.
People with poor self-esteem often rely on how they are doing in the present to determine how they feel about themselves. They need positive external experiences to counteract the negative feelings and thoughts that constantly plague them. Even then, the good feelings (from a good grade, etc,) can be temporary. Here is a positive movie to help you on your way to good self-esteem in those low moments. Everyone needs a pick me up once in a while, so just click here “My Best Self” and receive your pick me up if needed.
Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to assess ourselves accurately (know ourselves) and still be able to accept and to value ourselves unconditionally, which makes for happiness within us. This means being able to realistically acknowledge our strengths and limitations (which is part of being human) and at the same time accepting ourselves as worth and worthwhile without conditions or reservations. To realize that we are a very special human being; because there is no one else like us (everyone is different in their own way) which makes for SPECIAL.
What I want to do is help you raise your self-esteem to levels that will enhance your life and the way you view life. It can make a tremendous difference in your quality of life and happiness within you. Learning techniques to raise self-esteem can be taught and put into practice at anytime in your life. It doesn’t matter how young or old you are. However, it will take practice to keep self-worth at the forefront.

I have become an authority on this subject to do the fact I have had to build my self-esteem from the basement to the top floor and I didn’t stop at the 2nd floor, no I’ve gone to the top of the sky scraper and still know how to stay humble. You see; when one gains good self-esteem they realize that they never know everything and there is always room to learn more. The secret to happiness begins with self-esteem and knowing there is always someone that may have a better idea then you do or the ability to enhance your idea. To get you started on this course I encourage you to take the time to watch this short movie “My Best Self”. When I need a pick me up I go back and review it. There is an instant download available if you would like. If you prefer you can always refer back to this blog or just bookmark the movie.
As I go into this series of self-esteem I clearly appreciate any input that you can give me with your comments. Self-esteem can make or break a person; How has it helped your happiness or taken from your happiness? Look forward to your comments. Thank you and don’t forget to watch this powerfully done movie for self-esteem “My Best Self”
