Low self esteem can leave us afraid to try new things because we fear that we will fail. However, the challenge of self esteem building is to embrace new things and to give yourself the opportunity to enjoy them, just because you deserve it. Taking up a new hobby can be a fantastic step towards overcoming low self esteem. Spending time with like minded people and enjoying an activity purely for fun, with no pressure, is a good way to feel better about yourself; you may even discover a hidden talent into the bargain!

2. • Overcoming low self esteem
will help improve the total
value of your life. This has
been proven true by
countless people from all
ages and walks of life. Low
self esteem can suppress us
from reaching what we aim
for which can be destructive
to both our physical and
emotional welfare.
• “The hardest challenge is
to be yourself in a world
where everyone is trying to
make you be somebody
else.” ~E. E. Cummings.

3. • Can successful people also
suffer from Low Self Esteem?
I should say that I was a
“lucky man” even before I
went through my issues in
overcoming low self esteem. I
was working as head of the
Finance and Accounting
Division in an upscale
business company. I earned a
bit more than what I need to
buy me anything I wanted,
from high polished shoes to a
remarkable car. I had
everything a man of my age
would die to have. I wish I
could say that I was happy
and contented of who I was
and what I have, but I was
not. I was hating and loathing
myself more each day for who
I had become.

4. • I can never forget that day I got
a weird call from old family
friend. It was weird because we
haven’t talked to each other for
many years, and she’s calling to
ask if I could paint her a portrait
of her and her husband for their
anniversary. I was surprised! I
never expected someone would
bring that up, not when I almost
forgot my passion in art and
haven’t held a brush within the
past two decades.
• “There is something in every
one of you that waits and
listens for the sound of the
genuine in yourself. It is the
only true guide you will ever
have. And if you cannot hear
it, you will all of your life
spend your days on the ends
of strings that somebody else
pulls.” –Dr. Howard Thurman

5. • Overcoming low self esteem helped me
get through all the negativities in my
life. It helped me forgive my parents
for being controlling and inconsiderate
and myself for being such a coward for
not telling them. It also helped me find
the courage to do the things I’ve
always wanted and to let go of those I
was not made for (like my job). Seeing
my whole life slowly molding into
those dreams I have never thought was
possible was the best thing that has
ever happened to me.
• They say life begins when you’re
ready, and here I am, ready to say
hello to beautiful tomorrows. It
really is amazing how life can heal
the most complicated wounds in the
simplest way possible. Thanks to
that old formula in achieving a
happier life- overcoming low self
esteem.
