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.
