How is your Self Esteem?

You may not know how to raise your self-esteem, but you definitely know how to stop lowering it.
-Awo Osun Kunle

Self Esteem is a sense of value and worth that comes from a positive self-image.
Self-esteem begins with you and extends to all that you do.
With the belief that your best is always good enough, no one but you can destroy your self-esteem.
You destroy your self-esteem when you do not keep your word.
When you do not honor the agreements and commitments you make.
If you say "yes" when you really mean "no."
When you don't follow your first thought.
It does not matter what your environment may be.
It is of little consequence what your past has been.
It is not your concern what others may be saying or doing.
It is only in your mind that you build and destroy your self-esteem.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt
