Self Esteem is the Key to your Happiness and Well-being 

This page contains information about self esteem and:

  • why it is important
  • how to increase your esteem and self confidence
  • books you can read about self esteem
  • what other information this website contains which you may find interesting

Building esteem is a first step towards your happiness and a better life. If you have low confidence or low self esteem you will find it impossible to be the person you could be and your happiness will be limited.

Self esteem increases your confidence. If you have confidence you will respect yourself and then you can respect others, improve your relationships and become happier....this is not a selfish goal as you will contribute more and share yourself with the world and those around you.

Low esteem causes depression, unhappiness, insecurity and low confidence. Other's desires may take preference over yours. Inner criticism that nagging voice of disapproval inside you, causes you to stumble at every challenge and challenges seem impossible. 

 

How to improve your esteem and confidence

Want to increase your self confidence at work, in your daily life and improve your relationship

1. Face your fears - challenges seem scary but your fears are usually exagerated. Facing your fears increases your confidence and boosts your esteem.

2. Forget your failures  - learn from them. Avoid making the same mistakes again but don't limit yourself by assuming you failed before so you can't succeed this time. Try again, you're wiser and stronger.  Don't be trapped in the past!

3. Know what you want and ask for it. Learn about  being assertive- you deserve your dreams to come true!

4. Reward yourself when you succeed. No-one else will! Isn't everything easier when you take time to help yourself? Make a list of your successes and focus on the positive.

5. Talk - We often make assumptions about a situation or person which are not true. Your attitude and behaviour can be negatively affected so if you have any doubt or question ask and don't assume you know why or how. There is much more about this point and about many of the others in a wonderful book

 I personally recommend you to read it too as you're going to get a lot out of it. It's called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz,

6. Don't be defeated! Try something else. You are not going to be defeated by one failed attempt are you? Doesn't everyone fail before they succeed? All you need is a different approach.

Good luck! I wish you happiness and success!

No defeat is final until you stop trying because, once you stop your last result will be the permanent result. for example, if you have failed 99 times and have won the last 100th time and then you stop. your final result is a win, just like Edison who invented the electric bulb despite his many earlier failures. In this world many of us simply stop trying after we face some bad result and so will never become successful people in our life. This is mainly because we look at others who fail and we listen to those average people of this world, who are more than 80% compared to the creative and positive thinking people, who are about 20%. So for the successful people, "No Defeat is final" because they never stop trying for some more development.

quite correct,few days ago I wrote it as a real story which narrates as
Mahmud Gajani attacked India 17 times and was going back to his country,at a place near to the then border of our country had a stop in night,he saw a worm climbing on a tree dropped down 17 times,and at 18th time he got succeeded and thus achieved the target .Then Gajni returned and attacked and got succeeded by capturing the kingdoms one by one.
