Self esteem is a decision. I was shock when I first hear about this. I have found out that it is true. For many years I waited and waited hoping that some day I would get up in the morning with a high self esteem . This never happened until I made the decision to have a healthy self esteem .

Decide to develop the skills that empower you. Make the decision to take responsibility about how you feel about yourself.

The key here is to take responsibility. When you take responsibility you are empowered. When you take responsibility you can make the right choices that will support you.

The first step in the healing process is to decide to recognize your worth. Your life is your responsibility. No one can live it for you. You are in charge. Each event in your life is the result of your choices. As Sherri Shaefer said:

"The decision to have good self esteem is a personal choice and is yours alone.

There will always be someone out there ready and willing to say negative things about you. The things that they say may or may not be true.

Because of this, you cannot let your self worth be determined by others. Take responsibility for the way you feel about yourself".

Living in pain will not change your situation. If your life is painful decide to improve your self esteem.

The only way to have a healthy self esteem is to decide. Choose whatever best method will work for you. You can start by reading , check recommended books . Take a workshop. Go to a therapist, ask for help.

The key point is to decide. When you take the decision you feel better and relief. You have a sense of purpose, a direction to go and life that has a worth meaning.

Remember that life is short and you either are growing and creating the life of your dreams. Or you are living in a box feeling sorry for yourself.

Taking a decision is better than no taking one. To take the decision to improve your self esteem is the best you do . When you take responsibility you become empowered. By accepting responsibility you are showing your value and commitment not only to you but to others. This action always bring positive result in life. You become the master of your life.

Take responsibility of your life, create a meaning to live for and lead your life to a place of happiness and peace of mind .

Self esteem is a decision. Take now the decision to appreciate and value your own being. Become aware of your self worth and that you are a valuable person that has a purpose and a place in this world. You are here for a reason and the best way to give your best is to focus in your value and learn to control your emotions

Know who you are, ask questions, spend time with you and become your best friend. You are the only person that has the power to decide how to feel about you
