Self esteem comes from self worth. Self worth comes from the morals and values you place upon yourself along with what you have already accomplished all combined into one.

If you are telling people “I have low self esteem”, there is nothing they can do or say to change how you feel about yourself. All the affirmations in the world will not help you if you do not believe in yourself. In other words, YOU have to value yourself to have self esteem. It does not matter what your parents tell you. Parents are supposed to say good things about you, usually they cannot help boasting about their children, especially if what they are saying about you is true. You should not depend on what your spouse, partner or friends say about you. You have to be disciplined to appreciate your accomplishments, know your limitations as well as what you are capable of achieving, willing to overcome the obstacles that stand in your way and stick to whatever your goals are in order to find self worth. Consistency is the key when working on anything dealing with how you feel about yourself.

We are thought not to brag or act conceited when we are talking about ourselves but that is the self talk you need to practice until you learn to accept it and belief in your abilities. It’s good to get feedback from others in order to correct things you may not be aware of, however, YOU have to realize your greatness and potential. Be proud of who you are regardless of where you are in your journey through life.
