Self Esteem
Self esteem is largely associated with self motivation, since self motivation is thought of as a way to improve one's low self esteem level. Failures, rejections, frustrations and losses in life almost always lead to a decline in how we value ourselves and our worthiness. Through self motivation, people hope to bring back that healthy self esteem essential in leading normal lives and in achieving success.
Self esteem is essentially one's opinion of one's self. It is the way a person views or regards his or herself. It eventually leads to categorizing the self image that was formed into bad, good, or excellent. These three basic categories determines a person's level of self-esteem - low, average or high. Such categorization impacts the way a person is motivated, inspired and encouraged to accomplish things.
Self esteem is generally thought of as a result of many factors affecting one's life, from birth to elderly age. Psychologists and sociologists agree that some factors exert influence on the way we form opinions of ourselves. Generally, self esteem is associated with what is considered good or acceptable in a society. Beauty, education, wealth, possession, achievement and fame are the common concepts by which our self value is measured against, and how we form our self esteem.
Self esteem plays a major role in the success of an individual. As such, people with low self esteem desire to learn and practice self motivation in the hope that along the way, something enlightening can be drawn and applied in their practical lives.
Low self-esteem can be very debilitating just like a physical injury. While low self esteem may be normal in most cases (which occasionaly occurs after an unwelcome event in one's life) and can be altered or get over with in time, there are those with permanent low self-esteem that leads to severe depression. People with these kinds of self esteem level need to seek immediate medical help and active social support from family, friends and a special community to be able to get past that state and lead normal lives.
