Self Esteem and its importance
There is a factor that separates the risk takers from the fearful, the depressed from the optimistic, and the successful from the unsuccessful. This factor is self-esteem, and it is the center to everything we do. It changes how people feel and how much they value themselves. The amount of self esteem a person has affects every thought and every action they take in life and the quality of life they end up having.
Your self-esteem is the respect or favorable impression you have of yourself. Many people are lacking in this area. Low self esteem is extremely dangerous. It leads to a negative outlook on life, constant failure and trouble moving forward, poor relationships, a poor self image, and lack of confidence. When you don’t value yourself and regard yourself highly, you see no point in being alive and feel helpless. Constant failure and trouble moving forward is common for those with low self esteem because they feel like they can’t do anything right. They don’t try new things because they assume they will fail. If you take no risks, you never see your true potential. Self esteem leads to poor relationships because people with low self esteem don’t love themselves very much. Therefore, they have trouble loving others.
