Blooming from Within

[LiaRaven]

Self-esteem is the quiet strength that determines how we show up in the world and how we let the world show up for us. It’s the belief deep down that we are worthy of love, respect, and happiness—even when we feel like we don’t have it all together. When we have healthy self-esteem, we’re able to rise above the harsh whispers of self-doubt and stand tall in our truth, even when life challenges us. It’s about knowing that we don’t have to be perfect to deserve kindness, and we don’t have to achieve everything to feel enough. Without it, we start to lose ourselves, letting others define our worth, feeling small, and accepting less than we deserve. Our hearts deserve to feel valued and safe, and when we nurture our self-esteem, we create that safe space within ourselves. It gives us the courage to face rejection, handle disappointment, and believe that we have the strength to rebuild when things fall apart. At the core of it, self-esteem is the foundation of loving ourselves fully, flaws and all, and believing that we are enough—just as we are.

You’re right but it doesn’t help people to just say “well you need self esteem” also there is a fine line between having good self esteem and having a major ego, being over confident, etc.

You are right though we all have flaws but people can choose to learn from those to grow, shut down completely, or just keep making the same bad choices. Once it’s a mistake but if they learned but keep doing it then it’s bad choices.

There is another issue of people trying to make themselves feel better about bad things they have done instead of making things right. A person with high self esteem will try to make amends and say they’re sorry. Someone with ego will excuse and justify it if not outright not care at all

Self-esteem is great, but to ol' boy here, it's FAR better when I see a lady's blossoms in her bra !!!

[DishLady]

@DishLady Aren't I though, DishLady !!!

A nice sentiment but without maintenance it’s not enough to sustain a person through all the challenges of life…. You need resilience, mindfulness and a slew of other tools and skills in your arsenal to support healthy self esteem (also to protect yourself from becoming an entitled narcissist…).
