The Self Esteem Series (1): The Power of Self Esteem

Intangible forces are always at play in our lives. Individuals who learn to control these forces are able to gainfully engage them while those who do not obtain this mastery will always be dominated by these forces. There seems to be no middle way: Either gain mastery, or, be dominated by these internal and exte
al forces.

Often, people pay attention to the exte
al and more obvious forces. Internal forces like self-esteem are often relegated to the back burner. You may hear of many seminars on wealth, relationships and national issues. But seldom do we hear of programs dedicated to self-esteem. Even when we do, participants do not always come away with a complete grasp of the subject.

Self-esteem, the all-important internal force, is foundational to an individual’s success. This force is always in operation irrespective of the circumstance or the application. This force determines what we gravitate towards as we move through life. It sets the tone and direction towards which individuals flow. It is subtle, yet influential. Just as magnetic fields affect the behavior of metallic substances within their field coverage, so does this subtle force. This ubiquitous far reaching force affects everything about you and I, Spirit, Soul and Body.
When your sense of self-worth, value and ability is good, it is a great motivator, and when it is weak, a great de-motivator. It causes you to believe you can achieve whatever your mind can conceive. It is the fuel for the internal motivational power plant within you. It hooks you up to higher levels of life. It opens up your horizons. It is the spring board to greatness.

It is the dissatisfier with the status quo. It is the beacon within you that continues to emit the signal, telling you that there is something more out there that you can be. It is the buoy that keeps you afloat in times of despair. It is the foundation upon which you can and do stand in the face of odds. It tells you that you can be great. It tells you that you can be more than you currently are. It drives you to say to yourself, “I know I am more than this. And I know that I can weather this storm”. It is the anchor that keeps you rigged down, preventing you from floating away.

It is the product of a deep sense of self knowledge and self-worth and a sense of value. Self-esteem is much more than feeling good about yourself. Rather, it is much more about knowing that you are exceptional. It could make you feel good, but it will drive you to deliver great proofs.
The risk is the absence of middle ground. Your self-esteem is either propelling you further in life, or it is dragging you down. Your investment in developing your self esteem is one of the best investments will make.

Congratulations and see you at the top.
