Self Esteem

Self-esteem comes when I really value myself: When I place value on
myself, then others, too, will value me. When I don't value myself, how can
I expect others to value me? If I continuously put myself down, saying 'I'm
no good' or 'I am not capable', other people who hear this will start
believing it. So what do I do? The key word is 'consciousness'. As I start
to become make my consciousness positive by creating positive thoughts many
times in the day about myself like “I am the most fortunate soul in the
universe” or “I am a victorious soul, I cannot experience failure in any
step in life” or “I am a self sovereign soul, ruler of my sense organs” or
“I am a destroyer of obstacles” or “I am a spiritual rose flower who spreads
the fragrance of divine qualities” or similar thoughts, I become spiritually
alert, then I am in a position to start valuing my life and as I start
valuing myself, I develop self-confidence. The effect of this is that I
start valuing others, understanding that everyone has their own position:
not higher or lower, just different. Each one's uniqueness has its value.
