Self improvement equals Self esteem
Self esteem is what allows us to be confident and sure about anything and everything that we do. Without it we can neither achieve our own goals nor what is required of us by others. Following things you should avoid in order to preserve your self esteem.
Depressing Working Environment
Always remember: ‘Dogs eat dogs’. Stay out of survival-of-the-best competitions in which people resort to inappropriate practices in order to surpass the competition. This is not to say that you should avoid competition, but to say that you should only compete in healthy environments, not the ones which burn your blood and brain.
Ignore what others are doing
Gossipmongers, snipers, exploders, patronizers, bulldozers etc are sort of people likely to spread some vibes bad for your esteem. Ignore them or at least do not pay much heed.
Be a chameleon!
Every environment is always changing. You cannot be an only black sheep in an otherwise white sheep herd. Therefore, you should try to keep yourself open to change and whatever it offers.
Life is a battle and self change is your armor. You can be bullet proof if you keep yourself aware and updated. Be the change.
Pain is different than fear
It is ok to acknowledge a painful experience but it is another to be fearful of it. Do not let your pain transform into fear. It will keep gnawing on your esteem little by little.
You are what You are
Neither your environment nor family defines who you are. You are the one who controls and defines it. You might have wondered from time to time whether or not other people are born leaders. Well they are not. They make themselves what they are. Self improvement is an option not a rule.
Just in case you are still wondering, self esteem is all about taking control and responsibility of who you are and what you do. You feel empowered. Self esteem indeed equals self improvement and vice versa.
So how do you pave the way for self improvement? Answer is by being happy, honest, sharp and decisive. As long as things are in your hands and you take responsibility for them, you are well on your way to self improvement. Nobody is born to be what they are. They decide to be what they are. If you follow the above mentioned suggestions consistently you would definitely feel improved and empowered.
