Achieving Success Through Chaos
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=David_Strangward] David Strangward
Chaos theory explains (or attempts to) why simple systems become complex, why small changes in the starting position can make massive differences to results. Before Chaos theory, classical physics and mathematics assumed in real world systems that the cause and effect could be directly related and predicted that is, by understanding the inputs could you reliably predict the outputs.
For instance, classical theory suggested that if you knew the temperature, humidity, wind direction, surface temperature etc, you could predict the weather, all you need is a computer large enough take this information and perform the millions of complex calculations to predict the weather. We now understand, through Chaos Theory that small changes in the inputs (such as temperature) can produce enormous differences in the result, that could not be predicted by the computer running the model.
Using the weather example, a change in temperature of 1 degree may produce thunderstorms or cyclones that would not be predicted by the Classical model.
Chaos in our Life
As a human being, you are governed by the same laws as all of nature, so Chaos Theory is equally applicable in your life. You may this manifest in a chance meeting with an old friend, this may result in a followup catching up, exploring common interests and starting a business together. This idea of chance encounters and different results has been explored in numerous films, books, poetry and discussions, in reality Chaos Theory is science starting to explain things that we all know to be true.
Taking Chaos Further
Chaos Theory goes further though and finds that within the ensuing uncertainty, repeating patterns or order do occur, though these may not be visible initially. We can understand that in our own lives, when unpredictable events happen, which seem to have no order, over time we start to see the patterns and order, indeed overtime we find that these become our new patterns and order.
Making Chaos work for You
The first lesson from Chaos is that by making small changes in your life you can affect changes that you cannot predict, meaning some changes may produce limited results, others may produce results out of all proportion to the change.
The second lesson from Chaos is that even out of unpredictable, uncertain results, with time you will find the order and the pattern, and you must give yourself the time to find the patterns.
The hidden or reverse law of Chaos is that if you do not make constant, minor changes in your life you will reduce the likelihood that huge, unpredictable and beneficial results will come your way.
Success Exercise
First, think about 3 small changes that you could make today (eg. using your mouse in your other hand, driving a different way home, reading a book you wouldn’t normally read). The purpose of the exercise is to start to introduce constant change into your life.
Second, commit yourself to doing something new or different everyday.

Make Change Stick-Permanently.
Essentials Ensuring Success In Change
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrew_Cox] Andrew Cox
There are eight essentials ensuring success in change. They are about changing behavior, attitudes and personal skills - the most challenging and difficult kinds of change to make, but also the most effective and rewarding. We're not dealing with the act of acquiring something – billions of dollars worth of software,exercise equipment, books, tools, and processes are gathering dust because the people that bought them confused hope with results. They did not follow through with the eight essentials for change – the goals, actions, persistence and determination to make real differences in individual and organizational behavior.
Essential 1. Realize there are four stages in all change processes. These four stages occur in every successful change initiative - from losing ten pounds, to the adoption of new ways of doing business, to working with a new boss or new owners. Remember them and use them to ensure your success.
Stage One – Enthusiasm – This stage is characterized by high energy, commitment, high expectations and aggressive goals. This is the stage driven by opportunity and the commitment to meeting aggressive goals.
Stage Two – Frustration – This stage is characterized by a reduction in enthusiasm, frustration with dates and goals missed or delayed, the beginning of friction and blaming, the stage where energy declines and initial commitment is questioned.
Stage Three – Renewal – This is the stage where the lessons of the first two stages help create an experience - based set of goals and expectations that lead to success. This is where individual leadership and determination and persistence take center stage and create a renewed energy and commitment.
Stage Four– Success –In this stage success becomes the norm rather than the exception. Goals are being met; the lessons learned from the first three stages are being applied; and things are looking good. Celebration of big successes arising from small successes begins. Evaluation of the process for use in future projects occurs.
The remaining 7 Essentials are the personal behaviors, attitudes and skills that will ensure success in any change process or project or initiative. They're not easy – but working to adopt these behaviors, attitudes and personal skills will create success.
Essential 2– Persistence and determination – nothing will support personal and professional change more than the determination to see the process to its successful end – and the persistence to “Press On” through all four stages.
Essential 3 – Choice - while many changes are beyond individual control, we always, and I mean always, have the freedom to choose how to deal with and respond to change. This is the most important belief we can have. To the extent that change is embraced and accepted and seen as being helpful we will prosper – in many ways.
Essential 4 – Set yourself up to succeed. Big successes start with a series of small successes. The big picture may be fuzzy, but you can establish goals and expectations for yourself that will lead toward success. In setting up realistic, time measured, specific, results driven goals you can celebrate small successes on the way to big success. It is essential for your own energy and motivation to do that
Essential 5 – Replace judging behavior with evaluation of results. Judging is one of the worst behaviors anyone can practice. Why? Any individual shares the same behavior profile with no more than 10% to 20% of the population. When we judge others based on behavior, we are judging based on how we would do something, not how others may do it, and we stand the chance of being wrong 80% to 90% of the time! Create a results - driven climate to help ensure evaluation is based on performance to goals and expectations.
Essential 6 – Replace assumptions with expectations. Just like judging based on behavior, we will be wrong about 80% to 90% of the time if we assume that others hear things the same way we do, or see them the same way, or interpret them the same way. Create expectations – communicate them – or communicate a clear understanding of them – and clear away a lot of the “fog” that gets in the way of creating the results necessary for success.
Essential 7 – Communicate – communicate – communicate. When you think you have communicated enough, communicate some more. Identify the “universe” of people that you work with; that you work for; that work for you; that support your work; and whose work you support. Create channels of communication with all of them. The more trust created through communication with that “universe”, the more time becomes available to meet individual and organizational goals..
Essential 8– ACT!!! All the plans and communications and intentions mean nothing without specific, energetic action to meet requirements. Act today – today is all there is – accomplish goals today, and success will follow.
Remember this: The only security anyone has – individually, professionally or collectively, is in accomplishments. The more change is embraced and made to work for us, the more opportunities for accomplishment will be offered, and those accomplishments are the number one source of success, security and competitive advantage.

Success - How to Succeed When No One Thinks You Can
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jason_Osborn] Jason Osborn
There will be times in your life when you are pressing for success and no one around you thinks you have what it takes to get it. This can be a lonely time but you can’t let it stop you from reaching your goals and dreams. Here are a few keys to help you to succeed when no one else thinks you can.
1. Remember why you are doing this.
You have to constantly remind yourself why you are doing what you are doing. Others may be telling you that you can’t succeed and that there is no reason to keep going, but if you know why then you won’t quit. As long as you don’t let people make you forget your purpose you will succeed.
2. Seek out supporters.
Sometimes the reason why people don’t believe in you anymore is because you have outgrown their beliefs. You see some of your friends and family won’t grow with you so how can they believe at your same level? Seek out people that have done great things and know what it’s like to accomplish them. These types of people will believe in you when it seems like no one else will.
3. Don’t quit.
This can be one of the hardest things to not do. It’s easy to quit. Just because that may seem like the easy thing to do doesn’t make it the right thing to do. If you really want to achieve success you have to be willing to keep going even when no one else thinks you will succeed. The greatest successes come when you don’t give up.

Success Quote - This Leader of the 20th Century Can Still Set An Example for You To Follow
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kevin_J._John] Kevin J. John
"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world ... as in being able to remake ourselves."
Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century. He pioneered the concept of resistance through civil disobedience which led to the downfall of British rule in India and the birth of the modern nation.
He is recognised as the father of the nation and his birthday is celebrated every year as the festival of Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhi’s civil protest movement has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
This success quote from Gandhi is one of many pieces of wisdom from the great man. It is about his core philosophy that enabled him to make the remarkable achievements that he did.
Gandhi successfully organised a mass movement that bought down oppressive British rule. The British attempted to rule by force, imposing their will on the Indian people. Gandhi took the opposite stance and led by consent. His inner strength meant that people willing followed him.
Gandhi was recognised by the Indian people as Mahatma (great soul) or Bapu (father). He was able to lead the highly fractious political parties in their pursuit of independence through the strength of his personality.
A cornerstone of Gandhi’s philosophy was a deep commitment to constantly searching for universal truth. He was also driven by compassion for the suffering of his fellow man, including his fellow countrymen. He spent his whole life constantly working on improving himself to bring himself closer to that universal truth.
Gandhi led a life of self sacrifice and rigorous self discipline which gave him the inner strength to stand up for his principles in the face of all odds. He was even willing to accept rejection from the whole world to retain his integrity towards his ideals.
Gandhi’s belief system included the principles of human equality, non-violence, strong divine guidance and the need to live a good life. His belief system give him the strength to organise the civil disobedience campaign in India.

Success Psychology
Success - How Your Beliefs Create Success
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jason_Osborn] Jason Osborn
You are probably like most people and what to have as much success as you possibly can in your lifetime. The sad thing is that most people never even come close to having great success. If the truth be told, one of the main reasons you haven’t reached the level of success you want is because your beliefs aren’t where they need to be. I know that is a pretty bold statement since I don’t even know you.
However, if you think about it you real realize that a lot of the reason why you have failed at things in the past is because of what you believed. Your beliefs are a very powerful tool that can either aid you in creating success or they will aid you in failing. You see, everything you do you have some sort of belief in it.
You may have a very strong belief that you can achieve something and then at times you may believe that it’s impossible to achieve success on a certain thing. What happens is this. The more you believe something the more you unconsciously do things to support that belief. If you want to succeed at something than you need to truly believe in it no matter what.
Even when times get tough, you can’t let your belief in your abilities to succeed drop. You may not succeed the first time you try something but don’t let that change the way you believe. Learn from those failures and let it help you do it better the next time you try.

Failing Forward
Success - How to Turn Your Failures into Massive Success
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jason_Osborn] Jason Osborn
If you have failed at anything in life you are able to achieve massive success. This may sound like a strange statement but it is very true. Some of the biggest success stories you will ever hear come from failures. After all, a failure is only what you perceive it to be. If you think it is the end of the world then it is, but if you think it’s an opportunity then it will be. Here are a few ways to turn your failures into massive successes.
1. Focus on the solution.
It’s so easy so focus on what when wrong but success can often be found in finding the solution to your failure. By focusing on the solution you are keeping a success mentality and will be better prepared to recognize success when it presents itself.
2. Learn, learn, learn.
Failure is only failure when you don’t learn from it and apply what you have learned. You are doomed to repeat your failures if you never learn from them. You never know what one learning experience from a failure can do to help you succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
3. Focus on the future.
Failure has an amazing way of making you focus on the past and have regret in life. If you live in regret and the past you will never be able to seize all the opportunities that lay ahead of you. The greatest thing for you to do is start to look to the future and how you can use those failures to help you succeed. If you focus on the future you can’t be stuck in the past.

Success Defined.
What is Success and How Do We Achieve It?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Watson] John Watson
To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success.
So far, the best definition I have come across is: "Success is the completion of anything intended." In other words success is finishing what you planned to do.
Even robbing a bank is a kind of success if that is what you wished to do. However, you probably did not intend to end up in prison!
The above definition of success shines a light on failure and success. Make a plan and follow it and you will have succeeded. Make a plan and do not follow it and you will have failed.
This gives a yard stick for judging every day of our lives. We can say at the end of the day "I have failed" or "I have succeeded."
This may seem very obvious but it is amazing that only about 85% of the human race end up doing what they intended.
I asked several people what they thought success was. One person said that "Success is making loads of money." Another said that success is "Achieving your goals". Some one else said that success is "Fulfilling your potential". An interesting answer was that success is "Making others jealous".
Brian Tracy agrees with the connection between success and goals. He has said "Success is goals, and all else is commentary." Tracy believes that people with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them.
Stuart Goldsmith in "The Midas Method" has an important section on how to set goals so that they are achieved using the full power of the subconscious mind.
Maria Nemeth gives this definition of success: "Doing what you said you would do, with ease".
"Doing what you said you would do" is currently not achieved by the majority of the human race especially politicians! Doing it with ease is achieved by even fewer and requires making the most of the subconscious mind.
Jim Rohn argues that success is just a few simple disciplines practised daily.
The power of daily discipline is HUGE. Because the discipline is practised daily the effect is cumulative. The good practice is carried out 365 times a year with, perhaps, a few lapses.
It cannot fail to have tremendous influence. Once the discipline becomes a daily habit, it can be forgotten about until the rewards start coming in.
The writer who writes every day has written well over 300 pages by the end of the year. If he or she does not write every day they lose momentum and inspiration. If they keep up the writing (even just a few words a day) a magnet for relevant thoughts develops.
Recently a Liverpool student of American media studies applied for 600 jobs and received only one interview which he failed. He decided to write a novel. He determined to complete ten pages a day. He worked in the evenings at a dead end job to make money and then wrote until about 5 in the morning at his novel which has now become famous. It also looks like becoming a Hollywood blockbuster film.
He points out that if you write only one page a day for 100 days you can write a screen play. He wrote his novel by studying the structure of two other novels and noticing how they were structured and wrote his screenplay after studying video of films and noticing how long each scene lasted before there was a change.
I can't remember his name or the name of his book as I just happened to hear part of his interview on television.
The practice of daily disciplines alone can change our lives totally. Another benefit of daily disciplines is that they quickly create habits and habits create character.
A great quote by Jim Ryun, the American Athlete, is as follows
"Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going"
Another brilliant quote is:
"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."
Albert Einstein
The next quote says more or less the same thing:
"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." Henry David Thoreau
Many would argue that success is not about making money but about developing oneself into a person who is valuable to others.
However, this quite often will lead to making money because people will pay for value. Any one who is very good at their job can usually command whatever pay they wish.
Adam Hollioake is one of the most successful English county cricket captains. He realised what is important in life when his brother Ben was killed in a car accident in Perth Australia. Adam learned that he should be kind to people and have fun and "that’s what life is about."
His view of success in cricket is not necessarily winning. He is not afraid to lose a cricket match. He is only concerned that his team put 100% effort into the game. He comments:
"If we do put that effort in we usually win anyway".
Success then is putting in 100% effort whatever the results. More often than not, however, the results will be excellent.
Michael Angier has a great definition of success.
"Success is the result of steadily taking action on our most important goals. When we consistently focus our energies and our efforts upon what matters most, we can't help but be successful".
Angier also admires Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments on success:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded."
What are the causes of failure and success?
William James, the great American psychologist, puts failure down to lack of faith in one self
"There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true self."
Faith in one self is a huge part of success. Stuart Goldsmith in "The Midas Method" talks about two kinds of belief that are necessary for success. You must believe that you deserve to succeed and you must believe that you have the ability to succeed.
Another big cause of success is discipline.
"The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable prerequisite for success." Brian Tracy
Another cause is the willingness to try to succeed even if the possiblity of success is remote.
"Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead."
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) American Writer
My computer guru, Danny believes that you should hold on to your dream in all circumstances and never let go. Grab hold of your vision with an iron fist and even if you are down on your luck and in the gutter never give up.
Danny himself has held on to a dream for 22 years. His dream is to develop the best languages translator in the world.
It does not matter if you are 72 - grab hold of your dream. Actually visualize your hand holding on to that dream. Too many people are worn down by life and give up their dreams.
Every dream is personal but the principle is the same. You are an idiot if you let go. You have to have a reason for living. Set yourself a goal and never let go until you die.
There is nothing you can't do. If you can't swim 10 lengths without a rest, train for a few months and you will be able to swim 50 lengths.
Danny's comments about swimming reminded me about how little is taught at school about how training can improve your abilities.
At my school in the Isle of Man, there was an annual half mile swim in the sea. I knew I would drown if I attempted this but no one ever suggested that I start training hard so that I would be capable of completing the swim.
I was just classified as someone who could not do the swim. It did not occur to me that through determined training I would be able to do what I could not previously do.
When Danny was young he was a skinny weakling. But one day he decided that this was not a good thing. He filled out and did some weight training and set up his own fitness, strength and flexibility routine.
He performs this every other day. This avoids the boredom of a daily routine. He does 200 situps, 30-50 leg raises and three or four sets of 20-30 bench presses.
He also does 2 sets of 20 or 30 squats with dumbells to develop leg power. The dumbbells avoid the danger of overbalancing with a barbell across your shoulders. There is also little likelihood that you will drop the dumbbells on children or family pets! Dumbells allow for greater control than barbells.
Danny's advice for success is to do something. If in doubt, read a book. The worst thing you can do is sit on your backside watching TV. If you do, nothing will ever happen. He notes the hypnotic effect of TV on the spectators. Danny seldom ever watches TV.
Danny also is impressed by Arnold Schwarzenegger who has just been elected Governor of California. If Arnold wants something, he does what is necessary to get that thing. If he had to eat 50 mars bars, he would eat them. If he had to stand stark naked on his head in a field for half an hour he would.
This is an example to us all. If you have to put stamps on thousands of envelopes to send out your direct mail sales letters, you just have to do it.
The basic principle is that you have to do what is required. Some things require certain actions to achieve them and you have to do them whether you like doing them or not.
It is no good saying I want to be Governor of California but I don't want to do any public speaking or travel on the campaign trail or be friendly to thousands of people you don't like. You have to pick up babies and smile at people you may not like.
If you want to be rich you have to do those things which will make you rich. It's no good saying "I don't really want to do it." Danny gives himself a virtual smack round the head every time he is tempted to give up on his projects.
Some people think they will make money by taking short cuts like suing people or fraud. The world would be a much better place if people just got on with doing what they had to do.
Many successful people stress the importance of action in achieving success.
Michael Masterson of the Ezine "Early to Rise" writes:"Action is the key to success, and failure to act is the reason most people will never achieve the kind of success they dream about"
Another approach to achieving success is to stay cool about it. Just get on with doing what you think is important and what you love to do.
"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally." Sir David Frost
Elvis Presley gave his cousin Donna some advice to help her achieve her goals for the future. It seems good advice to me:
Donna's best memory of Elvis was when she was 18 and she spoke to him one on one. He asked her about her plans for the future and told her she could achieve anything she wanted "so long as you have faith in God;have faith in yourself; work hard and never let anyone tell you, you can't do something".
Elvis himself had plenty of discouragement which he successfully ignored. The later part of his life was not too successful but as Donna commented, we should focus on what he did achieve which was amazing.
Peter Vidmar explains how he achieved success at the Olympic Games:
"There's only two things I had to do to win the Olympic gold: Train when I wanted to, and train when I didn't."
This is possibly my favourite quote of all time. It sums up the essence of success and the will power and discipline necessary to achieve it. Sometimes training will be easy but sometimes it will take effort because one really does not feel like training. This is simple and beautifully easy to understand.
Another quote I like is concerned with the kind of success which depends on people liking your work or product. Don't worry about whether they will like your work. Just do your best and leave the liking or disliking up to them.
"Success has a simple formula: 'Do your best and people may like it'".
Sam Ewing
Any success involves some kind of cost; usually some boring work is involved as suggested in the following quote. The word 'drudgery' sums this kind of work up exactly. Almost any kind of business involves marketing and marketing is the last thing many businessmen enjoy doing.
"Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours".
Orison Swett Marden, 1850-1924.
Mike Litman comes up with golden statements frequently. Here is just one of them:
"The biggest secret of success in life is: You don't have to get it right; you just have to get it going. Perfectionism can kill success. We never get going because we are always waiting to get everything just right. Instead, let's get going."
One success breeds another. Bobby Robson, now over 70, is one of Britain's most successful managers. He should know what creates success. He recently commented about his team's performances:
"Success breeds success"
This makes sense. Write one successful book and you will have the confidence to write another. A lady over 70 wrote a book about overcoming the pain of arthritis. It was a huge success to her total amazement and made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not surprisingly she has now written two more books.
Success is a key goal for most people but it helps to have a clear idea of what success means to you. I hope this article will have shed some light on possible definitions of success and provided some ideas about how you can achieve your kind of success. 2500

Desired Qualities Of Entrepreneurs
3 Important Qualities of Entrepreneurs
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Rob_Clark] Rob Clark
Despite all the potential problems that usually comes with putting up your own business, you still manage to get worked up and feel energized. After all, you have been dreaming of this for some time now and the fact that it is now within your reach makes it the more thrilling.
Entrepreneurs today have transformed to become a new breed of business-savvy individuals. Although they may come from all corners of the world, they still possess the same qualities. You should check out these qualities in order to know whether or not you fit the description of an entrepreneur.
Patience
Most successful entrepreneurs understand the need for patience. After all, Rome was not built in a single day. From formulating a strategy to planning and implementation, you should know that it will take time. If you are not normally a patient person, you can make a realistic plan complete with an acceptable timeline. This way, you will be focused on meeting each deadline and not on how long each portion of the plan is taking. Make use of this time to explore and look at your plans on every angle. Conduct researches and interviews to verify information.
Organized
Because most entrepreneurs establish businesses single-handedly, being organized is a must. You must be able to manage your time and resources well in order to maximize their full potentials. If you are having difficulties managing your time, you should consider looking for effective ways to accomplish this, such as making lists. Most entrepreneurs manage excellently because they have learned to discern which among the many tasks at hand is least important. Prioritizing is the key and even if many people say that there is no single formula for establishing a business, you will learn eventually that effective time management helps immensely.
Perseverance
As an entrepreneur, this quality is important for the simple reason that businesses do not succeed overnight. You should expect bumps along the way and some losses. If you are willing to look at these setbacks as challenges and opportunities to persevere and work harder, then your decision to be an entrepreneur is right, but if you feel disheartened at the first sign of trouble, then this is not the career for you. Entrepreneurs usually welcome these obstacles because they test flexibility, adaptability and of course, perseverance.
Becoming an entrepreneur requires you to have a complete set of entirely new qualities. Luckily for you, these qualities can be considered as skills that can be acquired through dedication or commitment. Now that you have realized that establishing a business is exciting AND very challenging, you should prepare yourself for any unexpected problems, the good news is you will learn a lot from all these situations and gain much enlightening and rewarding experiences.

If you are willing to look at these setbacks as challenges and opportunities to persevere and work harder, then your decision to be an entrepreneur is right, but if you feel disheartened at the first sign of trouble, then this is not the career for you. Entrepreneurs usually welcome these obstacles because they test flexibility, adaptability and of course, perseverance.
Becoming an entrepreneur requires you to have a complete set of entirely new qualities. Luckily for you, these qualities can be considered as skills that can be acquired through dedication or commitment. Now that you have realized that establishing a business is exciting AND very challenging, you should prepare yourself for any unexpected problems, the good news is you will learn a lot from all these situations and gain much enlightening and rewarding experiences.

Subconsciously Speaking...
"How to Improve Your Self Esteem with Your Subconscious" By Kenneth Koh
"What are the most effective techniques for programming the self esteem? I learned that I can not outperform my self esteem. Is it true?"
Yes it’s true. You cannot outperform your self esteem. Your self esteem is your belief in your self, and your belief creates your reality. That’s the law of belief. Nobody can change that. You can read more at subconscious-secrets website.
There are two ways you can boost your self esteem:
1) Affirm to yourself in front of a mirror. Use ‘YOU’ as the subject and give command to yourself. For example, if I want to improve my self esteem, I will stand upright, look into my eyes in the mirror and say “Kenneth, you are the best! You are the greatest! You can definitely succeed!” Repeat 9 times everyday (sounds like a doctor’s prescription :)
It works 100% if you follow through this method for at least 30 days.
2) Another effective way to increase your self esteem is by listening to audible affirmation. Why do I use the word audible? Because there are many people trying to sell subliminal programs. I know they works, because many people say so. The only problem is I’ve not experienced it working on me!
Instead of waiting for miracles to happen, I suggest you listen to audible affirmation because I’ve tried this method myself and it works. There are many motivational audio CDs in the market. Get one that is related to self esteem or self esteem and listen to it everyday for 30 days and at least once a month.
One thing I would like to emphasize here is to be clear of the difference between high self esteem and high self ego.
A person with high self esteem is confident in myself, but he doesn’t have to show it to the world. He doesn’t need recognition from other people. He doesn’t need people to tell him “You are good”, although some of these can be encouraging.
A person with high self esteem knows what he wants, and he steadily executes his plan one step at a time. His self esteem is NOT related to his current achievement nor any other external factors. Because of this, he DARES to fail. He knows that he learns more from failure. He knows that through failure, he will come out stronger.
On the other hand, a person with high self ego needs power and authority. He minds how people look at him. To him, sense of achievement and sense of recognition is very important to his value system. He doesn’t know that these values are destroying his life. He dare not fail, because of his high sense of achievement and recognition. He needs power to cover his weakness.
You may ask, if a person doesn’t have any sense of achievement and recognition, what motivates him to achieve more in life?
Ask those who are highly successful. The answer is their sense of responsibility.
A person with high self esteem has high sense of responsibility. He is responsible for himself (for living the fullest he can). He is responsible to his boss or his customers (for rendering the best service he can). He is responsible to his staff (for providing them with a stable income and living). He is responsible to the society (for being grateful of all the things around him).
It is the sense of responsibility that pushes him to a greater height from time to time.

Flying High When Depressed
"Keep Your Self-Esteem High While Depressed" By Justin Meyer
It’s a side-effect of depression, and it’s one of the most dangerous causes thereof as well. Especially during depressive episodes, maintaining your self-esteem can be quite hard to do. There are many things that can bring your self-esteem down, and there are ways to try and minimize them. That is not what this is about, however. This is about what to do to keep from dropping your self-esteem, how to try and keep a positive attitude about yourself.
There are a few ways to do this. The simplest is to make a list of things that you like about yourself, or things that you feel that you are good at. Even if this list is short, the important thing to do is to make the list and focus on the length, not how long you feel that it should be. Focus on things within each list and, if you can, expand on them. By making sublists, you will be able to add to your main list and have specifics to remember about why you are proud of each item on your list.
The second way to do it is to borrow and modify an idea from George Orwell. In 1984, he talked about the “three minutes of hate”. Modify that to “three minutes of love”, or any other such time. Take a little time each day, go to your mirror and tell yourself how good a person you are. Pick one or a few things to focus on and spend time encouraging yourself. This should help you keep your self-esteem high.

The Myths...
"Self Esteem - Mistaken Beliefs and Positive Affirmation" By Nicole Ubinger
Welcome to the May installment of the Upper Peninsula Life Coaching Newsletter! This month we will be taking a something that effects us all at one time or another - Self Esteem.
When it is good we feel as though we are on top of the world. However when it is not good we can often feel as if we are frozen. That "thing" is of course our self esteem. When our self esteem is low it can often seem as if there is nothing we can do, and if we can do it we can't do it right! This is not true however! I know you are a smart vibrant individual, and by using the steps in this newsletter you can know it too!
What is Self Esteem?
Self esteem is the way that we view ourselves. This can include how we view our physical self, do we like the way we look; as well as how we view our inner selves, do we like who we are as a person? Self image can serve to both help us or hinder us. A positive self-image can serve as fuel to keep you moving through difficult situations; while a negative self esteem acts like a boot on the wheel of a car; the car will run but it can't go anywhere!
How can we improve our self esteem?
One of the key components to improving your self esteem is to identify what concepts you are holding about yourself are harming you and holding you back. Do you ever think:
"I'm SO stupid! Why did I do that?"
"I don't know why I even try, I never do anything right!"
"Of course they dumped me, I'm such a loser who would want to date me?"
If so, then these thoughts are supporting your negative self image. It is important to replace these mistaken beliefs with positive thoughts, or affirmations, that serve to support what a wonderful and intelligent person you are!
For example:
"I did my best, next time I will do something different."
"Well even though that didn't work, I am proud because I did the best I could!"
"I am sad that it didn't work out, but I am a good and interesting person who will find that someone who is right for me."
Keep a journal of your negative self thoughts for one week, then think of a positive counterpart to replace the negative thought with. Write the positive thought on cards and carry them with you as a reminder to stay positive!

The Causes Are As Follows
"Causes of Low Self Esteem" By Achi Amaechi
It is logical to always want to get to the root of a matter – any concept – positive or negative. After all, we’ve all been made to believe that the only way forward is to look backwards.
Almost always, this truth holds because only then can we see the true lessons that will guide us through life. Knowing the cause of anything – whatever it is implores careful analysis and research. The concept of Self Esteem is a very significant phenomenon in any individual’s life. It is the reason new fail or succeed, we laugh or cry, we rejoice r wail. Low Self Esteem will cause you those negative things you only wish for your enemies.
Low Self Esteem will make you act indifferently, negatively to the various events that occur in your life – which is the whole essence of living – the reaction, the responses, how we choose to organize ourselves in the midst of difficulties. So let’s get to the basics. Low Self Esteem is never born into you. It’s not like being shy which we may believe have some genetic factors to it. Low Self Esteem starts at a very early stage in our lives; it can however begin at a latter time in our life. Low Self Esteem can be the result of our background, our status – as we grow in age, we tend to interact, for we cannot live all by ourselves.
When we have these interactions, we begin to see a whole different scene induced by our conversations – the gap, the social status in the intonation, the beauty, the physique, the personality, the intelligence and lots more. At this point, when you give in to the pressure that you’re not complete except by being like the other person, you no longer live yourself – other people’s opinion now dictates your sense of taste, of smell, of perception towards life and of living. Your life begins to dwindle, it begins to drift, gradually, you no longer feel happy and comfortable with yourself, as a result, nothing seems to please you about yourself – low Self Esteem. Influences from the media [TV, Press, Radio, and the Internet] can also cause you low Self Esteem.
The over flogged idea of trying to model yourself to suit “the ideal lifestyle, life of the famous and the rich, the superstars” can really destroy your Self Esteem. It is a blow to your whole perception of yourself and your world. Parents could also cause low Self Esteem. A home where there’s no love produces nothing but negativity. A situation where you are not praised by who you are, what achievements you have made cannot encourage you to feel happy about yourself. These are just a few cause of low Self Esteem, to find out more or for a complete insider secret to building and increasing your Self Esteem, visit http://achieveall.blogspot.com/

Me, I & Myself
"Why High Self Esteem and Self Improvement are Inseparable" By Garry Zancanaro
Self Esteem is how we feel about ourselves, how much we like and respect ourselves.
It has been said that if we don’t like ourselves it is impossible to really like, much less to love, anyone else. Liking and respecting ourselves is very different from vanity or narcissism, which at their most extreme, can become total self-absorption, selfishness and the inability to consider anyone else’s viewpoint or feelings. To have healthy self esteem, on the other hand, is to be comfortable and confident within ourselves, with who we are as people.
Most people have their self doubts, and may be uncomfortable with some of their personality traits. The good news is that we can change almost any part of our personality if it is important to us and we are prepared to put in the necessary effort. This is actually what self improvement is all about, making positive change to our lives. Making changes requires commitment and can be difficult, but there are many valuable resources available that can provide great advice and guidance.
Self esteem is about how we feel on the inside, and how we feel inside will affect how we feel and act on the outside. Our self esteem determines our personality and character, and how we react to the experiences and challenges we face in our lives. It also affects our relationships and how we interact with everyone we come in contact with. And it certainly affects how successful and happy we are throughout our lives.
Having healthy self esteem is really about feeling comfortable and confident with ourselves as we are, and appreciating ourselves as human beings. Nobody is perfect, and self improvement is an ongoing journey. The very fact that we are making the effort to improve our lives will help us to feel better about ourselves and boost our self esteem and confidence.

It Takes Two To Make Things Right
"Building Your Mate's Self Esteem" By Achi Amaechi
The hallmark of a successful life is in how many lives we have been able to touch and affect. What difference does it make for our existence if we are unable to affect and influence people positively? We are true stewards of our calling when we share our love, time, knowledge, our all for the benefit of mankind. A true friend is always there – like the popular saying – always there in need.
Your friend or mate’s Self Esteem is dwindling, drifting and you want to make sure you do all in your capacity to build or re-build it. Here are some fundamentals about Self Esteem. Make him/her understand that self acceptance is the first requisite to great undertakings. That other people’s opinion about himself does not have to be his reality.
Make him understand that building Self Esteem is the most important thing we can do for ourselves in order to get what we want from life and be happy. Let him know that life’s too short to waste on low Self Esteem and all the negative effects it has on his success, harmony and well being.
Finally, let him know that if he doesn’t take care of his Self Esteem, nothing else can help him create real success, not at the long run. When you’re done with that, guide him through the following –
Ø Be kind to yourself. If something goes well, reward yourself. If it goes badly. Learn from your mistakes.
Ø Write a list on things you are good at – and read it – many times over and over again. Autosuggestion is self suggestion, it is the only known way we can induce our subconscious. Your attitude comes from the subconscious. So if you can control it by making repeated positive words into them, then you’ve got a winner.
Ø Train yourself to give compliments to others and when you receive one, say “thank you”

Respect Is Earned. Not Commanded, Not Demanded
"Self Esteem - How To Gain Respect" By Jason Osborn
If you have a bad self-esteem but you want to gain respect, there is one simple thing that you can do to help. Before I tell you what that is let me ask you a question. Have you ever found yourself doing things out of character when you are around people who make you feel uncomfortable?
Don’t worry if you have because you are not alone. Most people have done this several times in their life. However, the key to gaining respect from people is to just be you. Now this is where most people will begin to argue that if they were themselves they would make complete fools out of themselves. So instead they act like something else and still make a fool out of themselves. Seems kind of strange doesn’t it?
Lao-Tzu once said, ‘When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.’ The first thing you have to do to make this statement true is to begin believing in yourself. As you begin to believe in yourself then your self-esteem will also begin to increase. As your self-esteem increases then you will be able to be yourself no matter who you are around. Once you are comfortable with yourself then all sorts of people will respect you for who you are.
So the next time that you want to gain someone’s respect, just start by being yourself. Once you have done this a few times this will give you additional boosts in your self-esteem and, before you know it, not only will your self-esteem be higher than ever before but you will have the respect of many of the people around you.

If you have a bad self-esteem but you want to gain respect, there is one simple thing that you can do to help. Before I tell you what that is let me ask you a question. Have you ever found yourself doing things out of character when you are around people who make you feel uncomfortable?
Don’t worry if you have because you are not alone. Most people have done this several times in their life. However, the key to gaining respect from people is to just be you. Now this is where most people will begin to argue that if they were themselves they would make complete fools out of themselves. So instead they act like something else and still make a fool out of themselves. Seems kind of strange doesn’t it?
Lao-Tzu once said, ‘When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.’ The first thing you have to do to make this statement true is to begin believing in yourself. As you begin to believe in yourself then your self-esteem will also begin to increase. As your self-esteem increases then you will be able to be yourself no matter who you are around. Once you are comfortable with yourself then all sorts of people will respect you for who you are.
So the next time that you want to gain someone’s respect, just start by being yourself. Once you have done this a few times this will give you additional boosts in your self-esteem and, before you know it, not only will your self-esteem be higher than ever before but you will have the respect of many of the people around you.

Take Charge. It's Your Future.
"How to Beat Procrastination and Self Doubt" By Simon Weaver
Fear of failure (or success) and a lack of energy leads to procrastination. People who procrastinate become frustrated and generally accomplish nothing. To change this negative behavior, you must first identify the things that cause you to procrastinate in the first place. Feelings of fear, rejection, and unworthiness take a real toll on your self-esteem. Taking steps to improve your self-esteem will make a huge difference in your energy level and will motivate you to make other positive changes in your life.
Human beings are motivated by two things: pleasure and pain. Make a list of the things you would like to accomplish and how you will reward yourself when you do reach your goals. When you are making your list, be sure to include the consequences you will suffer by procrastinating.
Keeping the reward in mind will make it easier to stay motivated. Overcoming irrational fears and phobias are crucial to your self-esteem and energy level. The act of procrastinating itself creates self-esteem issues. Guilt, stress, and anxiety are results of low self esteem and lack of motivation.
Procrastination is a habitual behavior. You can break the cycle of self doubt and procrastination if you make the decision to do so. Keep a list of the things you need to accomplish, both long and short term goals, and reward yourself for each thing you cross off your list. It is not easy to break old habits, but it can be done and soon you will find that the new behavior is second nature.
Keep in mind that your emotional health is closely related to your physical health. A sensible diet and exercise will do wonders for your self-image.
You will find that when you make an effort to change your negative behavior you will have more energy and your self-esteem will soar. Procrastination will no longer control your life and you will be motivated to accomplish your goals. You can change your self-image and become a highly motivated individual if you take the time to find out why you lack motivation and take steps to improve your self-esteem.

"Self Esteem - How It Directly Effects Your Success In Life" By Rebecca Osborn
What is Self Esteem?
Self Esteem is the emotion of feeling that you have toward yourself. It is the limiting factor on your performance, because your performance will never exceed your self esteem. Your self esteem is not always the same, it fluctuates depending on a range of different things, how successful you are, how you cope with failures etc..
How important is Self Esteem?
How you see yourself is very important especially if you want to be find happiness in life. As said above, your performance will never exceed your self esteem, therefore how you view yourself limits what you will attempt.
Henry Ford put it perfectly 'If you think you can, or you think you can't, you are probably right.'
Self esteem is extremely important but why is it and how does it affect you?
1. Self esteem is closely linked to your success. Have you ever noticed that people that live a successful life usually have a good self image?
2. Your self esteem affects how you present yourself. Your body language says so much about your self image. Observe the next person that walks by you. If they are walking slowly with their head down low, dragging their feet, wearing old clothes, with a shabby hair cut, it is a picture that speaks volumes about their self confidence. They do not look confident. Yet, observe a successful business man, he walks with confidence in his Gucci suit, holding his head up high, facing the world straight on.
3. Low self esteem will cause you to under-estimate your abilities and you will expect to fail. What would you drop everything for tomorrow if you were gauranteed you would succeed at it? When you have low confidence, you expect to fail and so it hinders you attempting anything new.
4. Low self esteem can lead to depression, indecision and inaction. When you think lowly of yourself, it can lead to depression. When you do not really know what you want in life, you become indecisive. When you cannot make a decision, you become inactive, leading to more depression and the cycle continues.
5. Working on your self esteem is always time well spent - few people have permanently high self esteem.
So now you know what self esteem is, how do you increase your self esteem so that you have the confidence to do the things you have always wanted to, to ask for the pay rise in work, to confront situations with boldness.
Here's a few tips on how to increase your level of self-esteem:
1.Do not procrastinate!
2.Set realistic goals
3.Help others succeed
4.Ask for what you want
5.Affirmations
Everyday speak something good about yourself, to yourself. No one else may do it, so you may have to! Here is a little list of examples. I dare you to try it for 28 days and see the difference.
- Every success I achieve fuels in me the desire for more
- I can achieve anything that I can imagine
- Everyday in every way I am getting better and better at what I do
- My ability is greater than any challenge I could face

Dress For Success!
"Clothing and Self Esteem" By Edward Rybakov
Clothing has very different impact on our self esteem. The higher is self-esteem the less clothing affects it, but the opposite is also true - the lower is self-esteem the more power cloths and fashion have over a person.
I am not saying that people with high self-esteem do not care about what they are wearing. I am just saying that people with high self-esteem know that they are still the best no matter what they wear. People with high self-esteem choose the clothes they really like and that emphasize their personality, not those that other people want them to wear. People with high self-esteem create fashion, others follow it.
Be confident. If you choose to wear something, wear it because you like it and you feel comfortable in it. You can be a role model everyone will follow, no matter where you live, what you do, and who you are. Don’t be afraid to express yourself and people will follow you because you are one of a kind.
What matters most is the way you behave. If you are developing you inner self constantly and persistently, if you try to become a greater, more interesting, kind, balanced, and confident person, people will love you in any clothes.
If your inner world is beautiful then your outer world will be too. If you are developing excellence it is going to show in every part of your life. You are going to wear all those clothes you desire, but you will not be a prisoner of the fashion.
You can not change the outer world first. No matter how expensive your clothes are, if you are unconfident inside, it is going to show.
Don’t make mistake on becoming addictive to cloths advertised by media. Become addicted in exploring and enjoying yourself. You can feel comfortable any time you want in any clothes you have if you decide to.

Look At Moi Go!
"Six Pillar Of Self Esteem - Discover The Limits To Your Self Esteem" By Kevin J. John
Self esteem is one of the key requisites for personal growth. Without it you will not be able to function effectively as a person or form high quality relationships with other people. Yet so often we mistake self esteem for “having a high opinion of ourselves”.
There is not limit to how much genuine self esteem you can have once you are clear about what you mean by self esteem.
The six pillars of self esteem are the essential requirements to developing a healthy self esteem, but what do we mean by self esteem?
There are two parts to your self esteem:
1. The confidence to believe in yourself and your decisions. You trust your own mind to think well and cope with the basic challenges that life throws at you.
2. The feeling of self worth – you believe that you are entitled to be happy and to receive the rewards that your deserve for the efforts that you make.
Don’t confuse self esteem with arrogance
One mistake that you might mistake is to confuse self esteem with arrogance, boasting, and obnoxious, overbearing behavior. This kind of behavior is more often due to low self esteem leading to the need to be constantly validated by others.
If you have high self esteem you do not need to show off, after all you are confident about your own capabilities. As importantly, you don’t need the constant praising and approval of others to achieve happiness, your own self worth will tell you that you should be happy.
The idea of too much self esteem can also come from people of low self esteem – they can feel uncomfortable and unhappy when they are in the presence of someone with a much higher self esteem. What they are really saying is that they would rather deal with other people of low self esteem…
Low self esteem is not an excuse…
Another temptation is to use your self esteem as an excuse for your results. Yes self esteem is very important if you are to be happy and successful, but many people have achieved success without it.
As well as self esteem you need other personal characteristics such as energy, drive, a positive work ethic, openness to learning… A high self esteem complements and reinforces all these other characteristics.
Surveys of successful people have shown that one of the most common drivers for success is to prove themselves to someone else – a parent, a spouse, their peer group, a teacher can all have influenced them. Their drive comes from their sense of unworthiness, in other words their lack of self esteem in one area of their life.
The problems that you might encounter if you are driven by a lack of self esteem are that you will find it difficult to enjoy your success to the fullest. The fleeting moment of triumph and vindication will soon be replaced by the drive to prove yourself again. Even worse, you may feel unworthy of your success and end up sabotaging yourself…
Fortunately, there are many reasons why you might be motivated to be successful and it is possible to have a high self esteem and achieve your dreams and achieve great happiness…
There are no limits to your self esteem!
You’ve seen that self esteem is a powerful tool to help you succeed. It can be mistaken for arrogance, but true self esteem is an internal personal happiness about you and your life. Are there limits to how happy you can be?
The answer is no. You can always increase your true self esteem. Everyone, even the most self confident positive thinkers have moments of doubt, everyone has the opportunity to raise their self esteem.
As you think about your self esteem, don’t ever limit your expectations of what you can achieve. If you are prepared to work on your self esteem as part of your ongoing personal development, there are no limits to where you can go!

Self First...
"The Importance of Building Self Esteem" By Ken Austin
Self esteem is one of the most important elements any of us can have, and building self esteem is an important aspect of that element. Far too many of us lack self esteem because your parents or other loved ones told you that we are not good enough, or pretty enough, or smart enough to do the things that we want to do. In some cases, this negativity follows us into adulthood, and into marriage with a spouse who tells us we don’t have what it takes to follow our dreams.
Those who should support you the most are the ones who break your spirit more often, but you can do something about it. Improving your self esteem means putting to rest what others tell you and accepting that you are a good and deserving person. When you are young, someone's negative thinking can easily sway you, but as you grow older, you realize they were just using that as a means of controlling you and preventing you from the things you wanted to do. If you recognize this when you are still young enough to follow those dreams, you can reverse the process and develop the process of improving self esteem.
For some unknown reason, perhaps insecurity, husbands are high on the list of people who create havoc with self esteem. Perhaps it is because they fear their wives earning more money, or of finding a life that is more satisfying than the current situation. Whatever the reasons may be, you need to force yourself to rise above that and work on building self esteem in spite of what anyone says. You must control who you are and what you want from yourself instead of letting others tell you that you are not good enough or talented enough to do it.
Developing self esteem takes a lot of work, but it will go a long way in the process of building self esteem and allowing you to let go of any negativity that has presented itself in your life. Don’t allow those who tell you can’t do it to break your self esteem. Rise above them and do what you know that you are capable of doing, and if it creates insecurity, that is not your concern but theirs.
For more information and resources on building self esteem and developing self esteem, please visit the self improvement and motivation website.

If you recognize this when you are still young enough to follow those dreams, you can reverse the process and develop the process of improving self esteem.
For some unknown reason, perhaps insecurity, husbands are high on the list of people who create havoc with self esteem. Perhaps it is because they fear their wives earning more money, or of finding a life that is more satisfying than the current situation. Whatever the reasons may be, you need to force yourself to rise above that and work on building self esteem in spite of what anyone says. You must control who you are and what you want from yourself instead of letting others tell you that you are not good enough or talented enough to do it.
Developing self esteem takes a lot of work, but it will go a long way in the process of building self esteem and allowing you to let go of any negativity that has presented itself in your life. Don’t allow those who tell you can’t do it to break your self esteem. Rise above them and do what you know that you are capable of doing, and if it creates insecurity, that is not your concern but theirs.

"Enhancing Your Self-Esteem: 5 Principles to Remember" By Steve Brunkhorst
Self-esteem enhances performance in every area of life. It is an abundant supply of positive self-regard and recognition of the Creator's unique gifts to you. It is a favorable opinion of self without feeling the need to prove your worth.
Encouragement given to others is a great catalyst for their achievement, and it is the same for you. When you encourage yourself, you feel more decisive. You are able to tap your potential more quickly.
Here are five important principles to remember about self-esteem:
1. Those with high self-esteem take complete responsibility for what happens in their lives. Insteadof wasting time finding fault, they look for ways to change themselves to create new circumstances.
2. Self-esteem does not need outward approval. It is sufficient in and of itself.The individual will acceptother's approval with gratitude, but intuitively knows when he or she has done well.
3. Self-esteem sees from a perspective of abundance, not scarcity. It carries the confidence to ask for and accept with gratitude a limitless supply of God's love and goodness.
4. Self-esteem is filled with faith and forgiveness. The person believes that they can have the life theydesire. They trust their creative ability enough to reach for their dreams. They forgive themselves whenmissing the mark, and continue toward their objectives with tenacity and resolve.
5. Building high self-esteem after feeling low self-esteem is a process. It is helpful to spend time eachday focusing on things done well. Record each of your successes. Congratulate yourself for the smallestvictories.
Take a few moments each day to focus on and reinforce your strengths and potential. You'll be pleased with what you discover.
Wishing you blessings and success,
Steve Brunkhorst

Self Esteem Defined
"A Great Description of Self Esteem" By Graham Hunt
A great description of self-esteem I find helpful, goes like this….
Self-esteem is when you:
Can’t wait to get up in the morning
When you walk tall
When you look people in the eye
And move with confidence
It’s when you are handed
A difficult assignment and
Dive into it enthusiastically
It’s when you know it is safe
To be honest in your relationships
It’s when you feel
Exhilarated when you work hard
It’s when you’re in love with life
Is that the way you feel? Is that the way you want to feel? Well it is possible.
It is possible to live that way, as long as you are prepared to do the work to get what you want from life. That‘s because self-esteem is one of those areas of your life only you can really do anything about.
Now, even if you don’t feel you can do anything, I want to tell you right up front, you do have what it takes to gain control over your life and live the way you want. That surely has to be a better proposition than being pushed around by forces outside your control, or spending the rest of your life drifting along, going where the river of life just happens to take you.
The fact is, you cannot escape your self-esteem. The impact your self-esteem has on your life does not need your understanding or your approval. It is just there. It is part of the package deal you got when you were born. Your self-esteem either works for you or against you. There is no third option. Your self-esteem works with your involvement or without it. The choice, as always is yours. But, if it is part of the ‘package deal’ of being alive why not give it some consideration. Who knows, you might actually start to enjoy life, rather than endure it.

Raise Your Self Esteem
"Low Self Esteem? Raise It With These Tips" By Jeff Herring
Many people define self-esteem as the way you feel about yourself, which seems a little redundant.
Let's define self-esteem as the perceptions and beliefs you have about yourself.
Raising your self esteem
One method is simply to rate it on what I call the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS). Here's how it works:
On a scale of one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best, rate your self-esteem in these four ways:
1. What it is now.
2. The worst it's ever been.
3. The best it's ever been.
4. How you would like it to be.
Now consider these things:
What, which you might need to eliminate, were you doing when your self-esteem was the worst?
What were you doing when it was the best, which you might need to resume doing, continue doing or do more of in the future?
If your self-esteem now is higher than the worst it's ever been, what did you do to change it, which you might want to continue to do?
Now take a look at the difference between what your self-esteem is now and what you would like it to be. The difference is the ground you need to cover to improve your self-esteem.
Now for a seemingly bizarre and unrelated question: How do you like your pizza?
Just bear with me here.
However you like your pizza, what would happen if you tried to eat an extra-large version of it in one bite? That's right: You couldn't do it and would probably choke. So you slice it into smaller pieces and then take even smaller bites to accomplish the task. It's the same with self-esteem.
For example, let's say your selfesteem is now a five and you would like it to be a 10. That's a difference of five self-esteem levels. If you tried to jump from a five to a 10 all at once, you probably would become frustrated, discouraged and would give up. It's just too big a leap.
Make progress one step at a time
What you can do is begin to break it into manageable pieces by asking yourself, "What will it take to move from a five to a six, a six to a seven?" and so on.
In this way, you are biting off manageable chunks that will givee you the opportunity to achieve small successes, which can then propel you on to the bigger success of accomplishing your self-esteem goal.
Although using the self-esteem rating scale can be a quick and easy way to improve your self-esteem, that's not to say it won't involve some struggle.

Self Esteem VS Self Confidence. What Gives?
"What is Self-Esteem?" By Vicky Seale
Self-Esteem comes from the Latin word which means to Estimate; so Self-Esteem is how you would Estimate yourself.
Self-Esteem effects how you look at yourself in the mirror; feel and talk about yourself, it’s important to know who you are and to value yourself.
Self-Esteem is knowing that you are worth a lot (priceless) but not bragging about how good you are, its how much you value yourself and how important you feel about your achievements, nobody is perfect but knowing that you worthy of being loved and accepted.
There are a number of people who are confident, when they fall into the public eye, such as politicians, actors, comedians, artists and the like, they seem to glow with assertiveness, some of these individuals, although they are attractive and world famous, they find it hard to value themselves, they feel insecure and they lack in self-esteem.
So what is self-esteem? It is not the same as confidence, that’s for sure!
So self-esteem means;
To value yourself highly without being pretentious To have a positive attitude Being confident in what you do Liking yourself for who you are Be deserving of love and happiness Being a good human being and taking criticism as constructive to help you become a better person You feel ok in both mind and body.
If you suffer from low self-esteem you will struggle to associate the above with yourself, and you will lack self assurance and self respect.
Self-Esteem is important in knowing what you can do, be proud of yourself and hold your head up high, it gives you courage to try new things and to believe and respect yourself.
To be low on self-esteem means to not think highly of yourself and to criticize yourself too much, if you have low self-esteem you may not always think good of yourself and you think that you are not important.
