Self-esteem is important for the growth and development of a person. It affects the different aspects of a person's life whether it be personal development, family life, social interactions which includes the relationship with friends, acquaintances, schoolmates or co-workers, and even career growth. People with high self-esteem are known for success in achieving their goals and dreams.
The question is: is self-esteem an inborn trait that is found in some people since birth or is it something that can be acquired later in life? I believe that it is highly possible to boost self-esteem regardless of age, gender or situation in life for as long as the person needing the self-esteem boost knows how to do so.
Some people will ask: how to boost self-esteem at any age? Is it achievable for people who had battled low self-esteem for so many years and had never seen any positive result or even significant changes in their personality development? Yes, it is possible and achievable to boost self-esteem to a healthier level!
There are several steps on how to boost self-esteem:
First: the removal of deeply ingrained negative self impressions, beliefs or thoughts that one is worthless or is a lesser person than others around him or her;
Second: the introduction of positive and uplifting affirmations that a person is of great value and worth either to himself or herself, in the eyes of God or as an essential contributor to society however small or big the contribution is;
Third: the continuous conditioning of the mind, heart and soul of a person that he or she is a "unique and one of a kind creation" that cannot be duplicated or replaced in this world; &
Fourth: the assertion of self-worth in dealing with family, partner or friends, co-workers and other people who might try to reinforce the old feelings and mental process associated with lack of self-worth or low self-esteem.
These are highly effective steps that once taken will boost self-esteem and if consistently followed will have the result of a transformed person that has the potential and ability to achieve goals and dreams. Also boosting the self-esteem will enhance interpersonal relationships as well as professional growth that will one day lead to a successful and rewarding life.
