Self Esteem and
How to be Happy with Yourself
By Karl Perera
Are you happy with yourself - with who you are and what
you are doing? If you want high self esteem this is
very important.
Here's what you need to be happy with yourself:
a) Don't compete with others. Life is not a race. Set your
own standards and try to reach them, don't be scared to fail
and accept your own limitations.
Competing with others will
drain you and will take away your self esteem because there
will always be someone better than you. Decide on your path
and stick to it.
b) Understand yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses.
Use your skills and do your best. You will find satisfaction
when you are doing what you are good at and when you accept
your weaknesses. Chances are you will also be more
successful this way.
Try to improve yourself but don't waste
effort and time on those things which are not for you.
Accept your best as good enough.
c) Focus on your achievements no matter how small. Try to
achieve more but don't tire yourself out on things which
don't truly matter to you. Focus on what is really important
for you.
When you know what you want to achieve then set
goals (small steps) and reward yourself when you achieve
each step. Nobody gets there in one giant leap it takes time
and effort to achieve anything worth while.
d) Always try your best and you will be happy with yourself.
e) Be happy with your life as it is! Look for the things
that are right and take satisfaction in those. Be thankful
for all the good things you have been given. Try to improve
your life yes but be realistic about where you are and where
you want to go.
f) You can't do it all. Don't try to. The best you can do is
to use your skills and abilities as best you can and trust
that everything will work out.
Life is short and we have to
choose what we can achieve and how we want to live. Choose
wisely but have faith in others and in anything you believe
in.
g) If you have faith use it. Faith in God is very helpful to
many of us. Religion teaches us our importance as people but
also reminds us we need help from above to achieve anything
real.
Always hold on to your beliefs and values and don't
betray them or you will hurt inside.
h) Finally enjoy your life for the gift it is. Experience
and give love. Don't drive yourself so hard you no longer
enjoy life or see the goal you set yourself. First think
about your health and allow yourself time to reflect and
quiet down each day.
I hope you enjoyed this brief article and good luck!
