Keeping the goals reasonable and within a certain boundary is the most important thing. You can’t just say “I’m going to climb Mt. Everest!” and stride out the front door to do it when you have no experience in mountain climbing and can’t even point to it on the map, can you? I bet most of us couldn’t even get onto the roof of our houses without a ladder never mind tackle Everest. Be realistic and they will be more achievable.

Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence – and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself – your self-esteem – is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life. – Nathaniel Branden

Hear, hear! I love how you put that, Karina. Being comfortable in your own skin is a great image to hold on to when thinking about self-esteem. Also, it’s so important to remember that, as you said, self-esteem ALWAYS entails other-esteem – not shaming or demeaning other people. Thanks for your insightful comment.

Self-esteem is not just about feeling proud of yourself as some people think it is.Self-esteem is much more than that.It is about being comfortable in your own skin,being confident of yourself and also being responsible for your words and actions.A person with real self-respect will not shame or demean another.
