One of the psychological processes of great transcendence in the development of the human being is the capacity of self-esteem, because from it is born his personal worth, which will be very significant to achieve the strengthening, in the face of adversity.
A person who has characteristics that allow him to purposefully generate actions aimed at overcoming adversity, performs a series of psychological and social processes appropriate in their different contexts, since self-esteem allows you to perceive, develop and express your personal worth that manifests itself in an intrinsic way, throughout his life.
Self-esteem is a product of the image that the person builds from the perception and evaluation of himself, and from the social perceptions of those who are in the immediate surroundings in which he develops.
Branden states that "the person achieves the disposition to be considered competent to face the basic challenges of life" which means that the subject, as a dynamic and active being, can rethink and transform, having the following:
Self-knowledge
Determined by the thoughts and feelings you have of yourself. It is in essence, that sensitivity that allows the recognition of personal worth from physical, emotional, intellectual, social and moral. From this personal knowledge the subject assumes himself as an independent individual, separated and different from the others, which allows him to obtain a singularity.
Self-assessment
It is the ability of a person to look at themselves their strengths, weaknesses or limitations. This will make the individual develop self-respect.
Man will be affected notoriously by all the judgments he gets to establish about himself throughout his existence. Therefore we must take into account how we are self-evaluating.
Selfconcept
It is achieved from beliefs, or ideas about themselves that start from the conceptions that come from all the cultural and social elements constituted since childhood. This accompanies the person during his existence. As a result of the self-image, he experiences states of liking or displeasure, satisfaction or dissatisfaction in relation to other moments of life.

Self-acceptance
It is achieved through great personal confidence, thanks to the commitment to oneself that derives fundamentally from the fact of being alive and being conscious, since we come to accept thoughts, feelings and actions of the past with the full conviction of the new personal identity that is assumed.
Currently there are many ways to work on self-esteem in order to stay emotionally stable, especially to feel good about ourselves. Be happy, because life is here and now! And get ahead despite adversity.
