For ten years ı have had one of the most popular websites about self esteem and I am still building it and improving it because I believe it is at the centre of you being able to achieve what you want.

I am also involved in internet marketing but see the self imporvement angle as a vital part of the marketer's success.

Motivation, persistence and confidence...etc..being positive it all helps..

        I love your site. Self-esteem is always a "hot" subject and some people need that kind of info a lot.

        I personally think is a key ingredient in life to be successful, but not online with an online business, especially in life. People with low or no self-esteem can suffer a lot and it can be really difficult for them to live a normal, balance life.

    Having good self-esteem is also the ticket to making good choices about your mind and body. If you think you're important, you'll be less likely to follow the crowd if your friends are doing something dumb or dangerous. If you have good self-esteem, you know that you're smart enough to make your own decisions. You value your safety, your feelings, your health -- your whole self! Good self-esteem helps you know that every part of you is worth caring for and protecting....

    Self esteem is one of 4 most important investments according to Mark Joyner. In fact, it is the No. 1 investment you should have. The rest will simply follow.

    I agree. Self esteem is something that we can develop as we grow and make ourselves into mature and better person. The only thing that might stop us from building that self esteem is our unwillingness to give it a try.

    Self esteem is crucial and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living. It is very important because it affects how you think, act and even how you relate to other people. It allows you to live life to your potential. Low self esteem means poor confidence and that also causes negative thoughts which means that you are likely to give up easily rather than face challenges. In addition, it has a direct bearing on your happiness and wellbeing.

      self esteem really goes along with the gift of belief that you can accomplish your goals and dreams in life. It's true that they do go together hand in hand.

    I like your site. To be more specific the topic of your site, but not the design. I think it would look better in light blue and light green colours. This can make reading more relaxing.

    Definitely agree that Self Esteem which I refer to as self confidence is very important for success and life. It's important to have self confidence to have confidence in yourself and not to be timid. If you don't have that respect for yourself how do you expect someone else to respect you?

    I visited your page. Quite interesting.

    I also believe that anything happening to us - good / bad - that's what we call it, it's nothing but our response to the incidents.

    They keep on happening , how we respond is decided by our conditioning. But , on the path of success , what matters the most : How do I FEEL about myself.

    Various coaches have discussed this issue in the film "The Secret". That is Self Esteem. The more I feel Good , the more I work to attract what I want.

    That's the Law of Attraction.

    Anyway , thanks for the post

      What is in a word? Everything ! A synonym for Self-Esteem is Self-Respect. Self-Confidence is something quite different.

      When we do truth testing identification and assessment of baggage or imprints in someone's sub-conscious mind prior to releasing them permanently, Self-Respect and Self-Confidence come up as totally different headings with totally separate events.

      Interestingly, a lot of issues come up under both Self-Respect and Self-Trust headings, but not all. Respect and Trust are quite different also, however a lot of events that are incorporated in the sub-conscious mind wear both hats. Sexual matters in relationships is a classic example where lack of respect and lack of trust very often go together.

      When releasing these imprints, these very imprints do have to be acknowledged under the exact specific headings (e.g. separate respect and trust headings) otherwise they will not clear. That is just the way the sub-conscious mind works, so understanding the differences in the words and meanings is very important.

      Self-Respect is one of key values for which we test ... and they are a multitude of other headings we use to classify all events that imprint into men, women and children.

      One can only give away what one has inside Self. So when one has baggage or events that have actually imprinted into the sub-conscious mind about say Self-Respect, then the key issue to understand is that one CAN'T respect anyone else MORE than one Respects oneself. Any imprints in Self about say Self-Respect will automatically limit one's genuine capacity to respect others.

      The very same principle applies to Trust, it is totally impossible to genuinely trust another MORE than one trusts oneself.

      The biggest and most significant heading of the lot, by a country mile, is LOVE. One can never genuinely Love another more than one LOVES ONESELF as one can only give away what one has inside oneself.

      This breach in Self-Worth in relation to Love invariably occurs between the age of 2 and 9 years when an adult (normally parent or grandparent) is felt by the child to NOT LOVE him or her due to their reaction to an event that has occurred. Children look to and expect their parents and grandparents to love, nurture, appreciate and understand them ... a breach of this expectation has horrific, life long consequences .... even a breach on ONE occasion! The child is in essence saying, "I am not worthy enough to be Loved!" and the negative, interpreted experience then goes into the Sub-Conscious mind as a non-serving belief forever until it is identified and released in a special way.

      Every parent should have their children tested and checked for this at about age 10 to 11 years which is before they go off the rails in terms of alcohol, smoking, drugs, sexuality, get involved with other children who are also off the rails in their own way, or any of a massive list of other potential consequences. That is the time to nip things in the bud unless situations become apparent earlier ... e.g. with broken and unhappy marriages before this age.

      This feeling of NOT being Loved has always been the very first imprint taken onboard the sub-conscious mind of everyone tested. This feeling of NOT BEING LOVED then is translated into a life long NEEDINESS TO BE LOVED, which is a taking process rather than a giving process.

      It should also be stated that there is a multitude of opinions as to what Love really is. Many people will state categorically that they have been IN LOVE when in actual fact they have been operating in this neediness to be loved mode. So what happens is that for some fleeting moments they have interpreted an event as being "IN LOVE" when their own "neediness to be loved" is seemingly fulfilled. On truth testing, shame and guilt follow straight after the so called IN LOVE occasion .. that tells one all one has to know. One should always simultaneously be very conscious and respectful that anyone's own "truth" is one's reality for that individual at any given time. It is only AFTER the clearance of the sub-conscious imprints that the individual can then really see what was happening before as they are then operating in the real truth.

      A huge number and variety of consequences can potentially arise from this original one event of NOT being Loved, e.g. anger, guilt, shame, shyness, regret, fears, negativity, being an extrovert, smoking, alcohol, drugs, many sexual partners, downgrading sexuality to a game or sport, failed relationships, divorce, violence, crime, depression, anxiety, imbalance and focus on money or work, ego and the list goes on. A few of this list have overlaps with specific health issues so one has to be able to differentiate between the Spiritual and Health energies involved .. this is quite easy to do in fact.

      One simply can't have a magical IN LOVE relationship at Peak Unconditional Love, God Consciousness and Enlightenment when at least one partner in the relationship is operating in NEEDINESS to be LOVED mode. Spiritual Compatibility testing identifies where each is spiritually at any time or at the beginning of a relationship ideally. One can also easily back-test to see where both were at any time in the past and pick up incompatibilities when two first met. Initial testing is done with 5 spiritual indicators and they cut straight through any facades, pretences or acting.

      It should thus be very obvious WHY one has to clear all these non-serving, sub-conscious imprints OUT from within Self first before getting into a relationship. In other words one has to have Spiritual Freedom for Self before one can have Spiritual Compatibility at high spiritual levels. One can have Spiritual Compatibility at any spiritual level in fact, it is just a matter of what quality of relationship one wants.

      This clearance of sub-conscious imprints will have the most wonderful effects on every aspect of one's Life. Everything happens naturally after this, so nothing is forced whatsoever.

      Not all experiences by a long shot become embedded into the sub-conscious mind. From personal experience, most people have between 10 and 400 imprints that are embedded into their sub-conscious mind that have to be cleared permanently. I have never come across ANYONE who has had no imprints in their sub-conscious mind prior to their clearance and this includes spiritual gurus tested as well.

      Hope the above clarifies the Self-Esteem and many other issues and puts things into perspective with what is really happening inside Self as based on truth testing.

    Hi Karlp

    Great issue self esteem but one has to understand how it relates to self worth, self confidence and self efficacy. Another issue is that self confidence can waiver and improve many times. Think upon your confidence as a bank account. You make deposits and withdrawels from that account. At differing times you feel satisfied and can leave alone. The sectret to building the root system of confidence is to identify what made you confident and keep working upon it and what affects your confidence and remove it.

    Check out my mental skills development site and see also how confidence dovetails with emotional control, motivation, concentration, mental toughness etc etc.

    Confidence, too, stems from Integrity, producing not bravery or foolhardiness, but Courage.
    Courage addresses the challenge by rising above it and looking down at it, not by reacting to it. Courage doesn't mean you have no fear; it means you have fear, but do what has to be done in spite of your fear.
