Barriers to Success – Part 22
I saw a poster online that I just love. Here it is. It is a warthog looking at his reflection as he drinks. The inscription says it all!!

"Wouldn’t it be easier to just accept the fact that there are people out there who are better looking, smarter, wealthier and happier than you."
I love it!
I think sometimes we see all our faults and not what we can become. It is what we can become and what we have becomes that matters. That being said, there is more depression in this century per capita than in each century that has preceded. Not a good way to start a century from a self esteem standpoint.
There are some major reasons for this.
We live in a society where we can skate by and live a very mediocre life and still live far above where our parents and predecessors lived from a comfort standpoint. We need not strive for excellence or even a medium high level of accomplishment to live in a much bigger house with better things strewn about. Our culture as a whole has risen to an extreme level of wealth. As a result, those who do not possess a sense of purpose already lack fundamental self worth.
This lack of self worth is the basis for much of the depression. Over the next few weeks, we will be discovering self esteem and some specifics about it and how we can improve ours and those around us.
The areas that we will be going over are these:
- What Do You Deserve From This Life
- What Talents Do You Bring To The Table
- Are You a Looker or a Look-OUT
- What do YOU Believe
- Are You Confident About Who You Are
- What Exactly Do You Do?
Answering these questions for each of us is critical in creating and maintaining some form of esteem in our lives. It is the answer to each of these questions that is critical in maintaining esteem.
I look forward to your thought and comments as we explore this subject together.
