SELF-ESTEEM

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self esteem and personal satisfaction. ~ Brian Tracy

Why do people have self-esteem problems? One of the main reasons is that they do not take responsibility for their actions and subsequently, their own lives. Instead, someone else is blamed for the bad things that happen, thus creating the victim mentality. This will damage your relationships with others, your ambitions and especially your achievements. The hurt will not stop until you wise up and take responsibility for your life. There is no way around it.

“You almost have to step outside yourself and look at you as if you were someone else you really care about and really want to protect. Would you let someone take advantage of that person? Would you let someone use that person you really care about? Or would you speak up for them? If it was someone else you care about, you’d say something. I know you would. Okay, now put yourself back in that body. That person is you. Stand up and tell ’em, “Enough!” ― Queen Latifah, Put on Your Crown: Life-Changing Moments on the Path to Queendom
