Self-esteem

Welcome.
Self-esteem means knowing the worth of oneself. It is a feeling of deservedness. It is the assurance in our ability to think, and cope with the basic challenges of life. To trust one's mind and to know that one is worthy of happiness is the whole goal or essence of self-esteem. High self-esteem is built over time, the lack of it also accumulates or occurs over time.
Good feelings encourages people to attempt higher goals greater than the challenges that was overcomed when it (the good feelings) was formed. There is a continuous feedback loop between the "good feelings" (self-esteem) which motivated the action (attempted goal) and the action. The degree of our self-esteem influences how we act and how we act influences the degree of our self-esteem.
The degree of self-esteem in an individual dictates the quality of goal he is comfortable of pursuing. People with high self-esteem commit their very being to any projected they choose. Whereas those with low self-esteem give up easily in the face of little difficulty and never engage all they have gotten in pursuing a goal. If I endure the pain of achieving a goal, the likelihood is that I will succeed more often than I fail. If I don't endure all it takes in achieving a goal, the likelihood is that I will fail more often than I succeed. Either way, the judgement about who I am or the trust of what I'm capable of doing will be reinforced.
Till next time when we shall be reading a new episode, don't forget to always be the best version of yourself.
Thank you.

Some problem associated with the sense of sights are often associated with the eyes. Some of these health challenges are terminal or permanent and cannot be corrected while science and technology has provided solution to others which are not terminal. Examples of non-terminal, physical eye weakness are: (1) nearsightedness, (2) longsightedness. A nearsighted person can only see close objects but not far or distant objects while a long sighted individual can only see distant images or objects.  According to Helen Keller, she said: awful and to be pitied is the man who have a good sight but the mind that cannot see. It follows that there are men who can be categorized as nearsighted minds and those categorized as...
