A HEALTHY SELF ESTEEEM 

We all have a mental picture of who we are, how we look, what we're good at, and what our weaknesses might be. We develop this picture over time, starting when we're very young. The term self-image is used to refer to a person's

mental picture of himself or herself. A lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. This mental picture (our self-image) contributes

to our self-esteem.

Isaiah 45 God says "you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you," 

A healthy amount of good self esteem is needed to function in this world, but the sin of pride is when you think higher of yourself than you should. Like you can have a healthy self esteem but when you feel like you are better than others or that others are beneath you or you think you are perfect and make no mistakes and can do no wrong and you are always right about everything, those things are pride and wrong. A person with a healthy self esteem knows that they are a worthwhile worthy person and that they deserve good things and happiness etc. but you also are aware that you are not perfect and that you make mistakes etc. It's wrong to be on either extreme, I think it's just as wrong to think too low of yourself and think you are nothing and not worthy and don't deserve happiness as it is to think too highly of yourself and think the sun rises and sets around you. I think God wants us in the middle. I also think that having too low of self esteem gives the devil something to work with in your mind to get people to think all kinds of things that lead to a messed up mindset.

People are often confused about what it means to have self- esteem. Some think it has to do with the way you look or how popular you are with your friends or others. Others believe that having a great body will help you gain self-esteem, while others think you actually need to have accomplished something in order to have good self-esteem.

Boiled down to its simplicity, self-esteem simply means appreciating yourself for who you are perhaps because of the emphasis we seem to put on materialistic indicators of self-worth (like

what kind of car you drive, what school your kids attend, what your grades are, how big a house you have, or what your title is at work).

Self-esteem is your opinion of yourself. Everyone lacks confidence sometimes but people with low self-esteem are unhappy or unsatisfied with themselves most of the time.

Low self-esteem can cause problems including depression and anxiety.

Self-esteem is your opinion of yourself. People with healthy self-esteem like themselves and value their achievements. While everyone lacks confidence occasionally, people with low self-esteem feel unhappy or unsatisfied with themselves most of the time. It takes attention and daily practice to boost self-esteem.

How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives. People who feel that they're likable and lovable. (in other words, people with good self-esteem have better relationships) They're more likely to ask for help and support

from friends and family when they need it. People who believe they can accomplish goals and solve problems are more likely to do well in school. Having good self-esteem allows you to accept yourself and live life to the fullest. It's never too late to build healthy, positive self-esteem. In some cases where the emotional hurt is deep or long lasting, it can require the help of a mental health professional, like a counselor (@Positive World Enterprises) or therapist. These experts can act as a guide, helping people learn to love themselves and realize what's unique and special about them. Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. People

with high self-esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with peers and adults; feel happier; find it easier to deal with mistakes, disappointments, and failures; and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed.

It takes some work to develop good self-esteem, but once you do it's a skill you'll have for life.

TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING(without no VISION).
“The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.”
Helen Keller

 The first step to fulfilling your reason for existence is realizing that you have been given a vision. Yet how do you receive recognize and activate your vision?
•• Strong’s Concordance defines “vision” as “a sight (mentally), i.e., a dream, revelation, or oracle: — vision”.
• Vision motivates us.
• Vision gives us direction, not aimless effort.
• Vision is something that “matters” to us.
• Without it, we “perish”. We get fatigued in our
walk with God ... demoralized ... living with no
sense of meaningful purpose.
 How do we get a personal vision?
• The WORD of God will light and direct your path.
• PRAYER. God often gives vision in response to it.
• In the MULTITUDE of trustworthy COUNSELORS.

A common reason people aren't specific their visions is that they are trying to do too much. Even though they are constantly constructing something , they are actually building nothing at all because they never complete anything.
Why does this happen because most people make mistake of believing that the main goal in life is to stay busy. Yet this way of thinking is a trap. There are two acronym for busy, the 1st one stands for BEING UNDER SATAN'S YOKE and 2nd one stands for BUILDING UP STRENGTHS IN YOUTH,( so there are two things involved). Busyness does not necessarily equal progress; staying busy does not necessarily mean that you are heading forward a specific destination.
I have learned this very important truth that has set me free from both indecision and in effective busyness:
I WAS NOT BORN TO DO EVERYTHING. Some people never pursue their visions because they have the problem of being able to do many things. A misunderstanding of their gift cause many talented and intelligent people to be ineffective and unsuccessful in life. They have so many gift that they don't know which one to use and they want to develop all of them.
Let me ask you this, have you ever seen anyone who became successful in life by doing everything? Think about people such as marie curie, tiger woods, bill gates and others. Each of this people did one or two things very well, and it became the source of their life and their prosperity. It made room for them in the world.
When a person tries to do everything, he ends up becoming "jack-of-all-trades and master of none" I'm sure you know some multi-gifted people who seem to have the best chances of success but who aren't doing anything with their lives. You have to guard against the temptation to do everything
No matter how many gift you have, don't let them distract you. You must decide to concentrate on one or two gift, and then stir them up. Don't worry about losing the other gifts. Decide which gift you are going to stir up; as you stir that one up, the other gift will follow it. God will not waste what He has given to you. Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
You must succeed!

10 Life Lessons People Learn Too Late
Before you know it you’ll be asking, “How did it get so late so soon?” So take time to figure yourself out. Take time to realize what you want and need. Take time to take risks. Take time to love, laugh, cry, learn, and forgive. Life is shorter than it often seems.
Here are ten things you need to know, before it’s too late:
1. This moment is your life. – Your life is not between the moments of your birth and death. Your life is between now and your next breath. The present – the here and now – is all the life you ever get. So live each moment in full, in kindness and peace, without fear and regret. And do the best you can with what you have in this moment; because that is all you can ever expect of anyone, including yourself. Read The
Power of Now .
2. A lifetime isn’t very long. – This is your life, and you’ve got to fight for it. Fight for what’s right. Fight for what you believe in. Fight for what’s important to you. Fight for the people you love, and never forget to tell them how much they mean to you. Realize that right now you’re lucky because you still have a chance. So stop for a moment and think. Whatever you still need to do, start doing it today. There are
only so many tomorrows.
3. The sacrifices you make today will pay dividends in the future. – When it comes to working hard to achieve a dream – earning a degree, building a business, or any other personal achievement that takes time and commitment – one thing you have to ask yourself is: “Am I willing to live a few years of
my life like many people won’t, so I can spend the rest of my life like many people can’t?”
4. When you procrastinate, you become a slave to yesterday. – But when you are proactive, it’s as if yesterday is a kind friend that helps take a load off your back. So do something right now that your future self will thank you for. Trust me, tomorrow you’ll be happy you started today. Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People .
5. Failures are only lessons. – Good things come to those who still hope even though they’ve been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they’ve tasted failure, to those who still love even though they’ve been hurt. So never regret anything that has happened in your life; it cannot be changed, undone or forgotten. Take it all as lessons learned and move on with grace.
6. You are your most important relationship. – Happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else’s approval. You must first have a healthy relationship with yourself before you can have a healthy relationship with others. You have to feel worthwhile and acceptable in your own eyes, so that you’ll be able to look confidently into the eyes of the people around you and connect with them.
7. A person’s actions speak the truth. – You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times; but in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. So pay attention to what people do. Their actions will tell you everything you need to know.
8. Small acts of kindness can make the world a better place.
– Smile at people who look like they are having a rough day. Be kind to them. Kindness is the only investment that never fails. And wherever there is a human being, there’s an opportunity for kindness. Learn to give, even if it’s just a
smile, not because you have too much, but because you understand there are so many others who feel like they have nothing at all. Read Way of the Peaceful Warrior .
9. Behind every beautiful life, there has been some kind of pain. – You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt, but
you’re alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty. We must keep putting one foot in
front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend.
10. Time and experience heals pain. – Several years ago when i asked my grandmother about overcoming pain, this is how she explained it to me: Look at the circles below. The black
circles represent our relative life experiences. Mine is larger because I am older and have experienced more in my lifetime. The smaller red circles represent a negative event in our lives. Assume we both experienced the same exact event, whatever the nature. Notice that the negative event circles are the same size for each of us; but also notice what percentage of the area they occupy in each of the black circles. Your
negative event seems much larger to you because it is a greater percentage of your total life experiences. I am not diminishing the importance of this event; I simply have a
different perspective on it. What you need to understand is that an overwhelmingly painful event in your life right now will one day be part of your much larger past and not nearly as significant as it seems.
