Rebuild Self-esteem

We are taught to compare ourselves with others, to imitate their style. This imitation always ends in painful failure and lowering of the sense of self. Being unique is one of the most

important human characteristics. We are all unique human beings with unique histories, patterns of thinking and behaving. However, we have acquired deep habits of comparison early in our

life. We are taught to compare ourselves with others, to imitate their style. This imitation always ends in painful failure and lowering of the sense of self. Comparison and imitation are

the greatest destroyers of self-esteem because they prevent us from being ourselves, and it keeps us at a very superficial level of existence. So the first key to the door of self-esteem is

to break the habit of comparison and imitation. Remind yourself that you are unique. It is through acknowledging our uniqueness that we gain the courage to acknowledge and accept our

weaknesses, faults and imperfections, because it is only when we accept ourselves the way we are, that we’re able to begin the process of true self-transformation. Always remember, we are

all already beautiful and perfect. This is a paradox. Because this beauty is a hidden treasure lying deep within the self which we find difficult to access. Why? Because we have not been

taught to go deep inside ourselves to see it, feel it and express it. We are so preoccupied with outer beauty to even begin to focus on inner beauty. We fall for the messages of marketing

gurus directing us to believe that beauty can be bought, surgically added or painted on. Hence the rebuilding of self-esteem is a deep inner process of self-knowledge and  self-awareness for

which we need to spend some time every day in stillness, in silence, and see and experience our inner qualities to experience the change from within  [email protected] _
