What is self-esteem

Self-esteem aids an individual in maintaining an appropriate sense of well being that allows the individual to firmly believe that they have the capabilities to do what needs to be done and be a success while doing so. Having high self esteem is not only important for an individual in evaluating their self worth, but it also helps these individuals excel in the different areas of life that can prove to be more beneficial in the future and their future endeavors.

Having low self-esteem can mean all the difference between living a life that is full of successes associated with relationships, finances, and careers and living a life that is engulfed in worrying about your own personal capabilities and whether or not you will leave the house in any given day because of the fear of people regarding you as incapable. Self-esteem is something that can regularly be built upon in order to improve one’s life, but self-esteem can also be something that is easily broken and demolished. It is important to know your self worth so that your self-esteem is not as easily broken apart. If you are having issues will believing that you are capable of great things, then your self-esteem will almost certainly begin to fall and remain at a low level. The whole key to altering this low level of self-esteem is to build upon your positive qualities as opposed to dwelling on the things that you are incapable of doing, so that you are not constantly thinking about the areas that are going to require additional work and attention.

Self-esteem is something that can easily be rebuilt but it is important to remember that self-esteem needs to built upon concrete abilities.  If should not be built upon something that that is intangible and easily altered, but on a skill that can benefit either the individual or society as a whole.

This will help the person to maintain their self-esteem and their self worth in instances that may have previously been challenging to their personal identification and opinion of self worth.
