It's like a lot of us seem to have forgotten the wold self-esteem is called self esteem because it is a self assessment, the measure of how you value yourself.
its funny to me when people are looking for other people, events, or things to assist in boosting their self-esteem.
Like "please tell me I look great so that I can feel like I look great", "tell me my hair is black so I can be happy that my hair is black" or "tell me I did well so I can think that I did well with all the effort I put into yielding this result".....Oh now it sounds ridiculous to you too right?
then you get stuck on opinions and approvals, no achievement without them, you are wrong if people don't think you are right.
Telling yourself what you are, locating those things you are awesome at and giving yourself a high value. It feels unright, unnatural, right?
It's like being handed your own test script to score, whatever you give yourself is what you get, it is what people see and accept.
Don't sell yourself cheap
