HIVE-REACHOUT INLEO INITIATIVE 22// OVERCOMING LOW SELF ESTEEM.

Source

It's such an honour again to bring participation on this beautiful platform. It has been quite a challenging moment but Sincerely God has been so faithful to me and that of my family. The present economic challenges in my dear country is even enough to retard one from soaring higher and pursing positive things.

When I stumbled on the theme for the hive reach-out inleo initiative 22, I couldn't hesitate in writing my input. The topic is timely for me and is the present need that should be addressed as a matter of urgency. Many destinies has been rubbed and are unfulfilled because the couldn't manage or differentiate between confidence and self esteem. These two words are key to personal development of any individual.

Confidence is the feeling of trust or faith that an individual has in a thing. Confidence is complete believe or trust in a particular thing. This is a virtue that is very important and vital to anyone that wants to make any reasonable mark amongst his contemporaries. You can't survive in this life without having confidence in something. When you are able to build confidence in something, you become encouraged to pursue whatever you have at hand.

Self esteem on the other side entails how an individual values and perceives himself. Your self worth is your self esteem. Your values, norms, culture and even belief system. There are lots of factors that constitute self esteem. I couldn't remember one training I attended in self esteem where I was exposed to hidden things and I could Concord to reasons why some give up in life easily. When you don't know the value of who you are and what you carry be it skill or otherwise hmmm the tendency to abuse the rare privilege is high.

Lack of self esteem could degenerate one to a position where it can even die if not properly managed. Lack of self esteem could result to inferiority complex. This is a bad situation where an individual considers himself to be incompetent and lack the confidence to do a task. Inferiority complex has relegated many to the background. I believe that everyone created by God has a function to play here on earth. When you don't discover your gift and talent then one would be envious of another. You could even feel intimidated and grip with fear to do a task. The first day I stood before hundreds of people in church to preach as a teenager, I was so afraid and my legs started shaking for about five minutes. It was later I regained confidence before I started vibrating correctly.

There are different ways to overcome inferiority complex which distorts self esteem. One of the ways is to tell yourself that I can do it. Others that are doing it don't have two heads. Begin to speak to yourself internally. Generate inner energy and strength within.Be optimistic about your life. Study other books on how to say no to stage fright. Another way out is to read books. If you are a Christian kindly read the Bible very well and consistently and pray as well.

Another way to deal with low self esteem is to identify the kind of the environment you dwell. Most of us came up from terrible background however it's expedient that we become very careful with happens around us. The kind of people that surrounds you determine the kind of things you do. Never you stay just idle because an idle man is a devil's workshop.

#Conclusively, confidence and self esteem are two present ingredients that is required for personal development.
