"Self-esteem is feeling worthy and able to meet life's challenges.
It is as essential as the air we breathe, and just as intangible.
It comes from the depths of our core, yet it is reflected in every single outward action we take, grand or small. It is the essence from which we measure our worth and the most important building block in the foundation or our psyches.
If self-esteem is a lesson that you need to learn, you will be tested over and over until you feel confident about who you are and understand and believe in your intrinsic value.
[...] The process of building self-esteem is threefold:
- The first step is to identify what stands in your way. By acknowledging the limiting belief that you have about yourself, you can then move to the
- second step: to search your soul for a deeper core connection with who you really are.
- The third step is to take action, whether that means valuing yourself just as you are or making positive change.
[...] Remind yourself that self-esteem is ephemeral. You will have it, lose it, cultivate it, nurture it, and be forced to rebuild it over and over again. It is not something to be achieved and preserved, but rather a lifelong process to be explored and cultivated.
Where do your feelings of worthiness stem from?
Search to discover the pathway to that source, for you will need to revisit that source again and again through out your lifetime. When you can easily find your way to the core of your essential value, then you know you have learned this lesson." - Cherie Carter-Scott Ph.D. (If Life is a Game, These are the Rules)
