Self Esteem

By definition, self esteem is the valuation that one places upon oneself.  It is both a judgment and an attitude. We firstly judge ourselves and then based on that judgment, we develop attitudes towards ourselves. This judgment and attitude is vitally important because you are the most important asset in your life. Everything that you will accomplish will be accomplished through you, or at least with a significant role played by you. If you judge yourself wrongly or develop wrong attitudes towards yourself, you undermine your chances of succeeding. It encompasses feelings of worthiness, pride and accomplishment.  Self esteem has a protective function as it protects us from anxiety. The origin of most people’s problems and indeed of their failures is their poor sense of self esteem. This poor sense of self esteem manifests itself when people despise themselves and consider themselves as unworthy of being loved or unworthy of success in general.
