Self-Esteem:

 Self Esteem is basically the opinion of how you see yourself. There are ranges of self esteem from high self esteem to low self esteem and then everywhere in between. The best is the first. That is because high self-esteem means you love and appreciate yourself for who you are and low self esteem typically holds you back in your attempts to grow and become successful. 

 Self-Esteem is probably one of the best places to start when working on self improvement.

Where did you get self-esteem? As a child, you got it from your parents or whoever raised and was important in your life. If they praised you for your successes and achievements there is a good chance you will have a positive outlook of yourself and life. If you were raised by parents who were not very caring, or not informed on the importance of building self-esteem then you won’t see your positive qualities you may end up with a low self-esteem.

 When you become an adult your self-esteem can come from your friends and your peers. Sometimes how we feel about ourselves can be based on the perception of people around you whether it be friends, family, co-workers, superiors and others. If you can ignore  negative comments and feedback you will be fine, don’t let words of people that are not important to you affect your self-esteem.
