Low self esteem is one of the most dangerous success killer.
Most young people have alot inside of them to offer to the world but, they tend to get really scared
of sharing those ideas because they feel their discovery or innovations are not good enough for the world to see.
A young talented man might have alot of ideas to start up a small company.
Capital might not be the problem but, this young man is scared of been rejected or afraid of failing at some point.
Maybe his friends or family always put him down or laugh at his strange or deep ideas of what he pictured himself doing. everything suddenly becomes impossible to him.
He feels “okay…maybe they
are right. i shouldnt waste my time on this..i dont think i have all it takes to start up something.
There are people much more better than Iam doing it ”Such person has already labeled himself as the one with little or no knowledge compared to his friends.
Low self esteem has destroyed many talents, ambitions, relationships and businesses.
You really want to speak up in complex situations or you have a solution to a problem but, you feel nothing productive or sensible ever comes out of you or your opinion does not matter.
I’ve been in such situations many times.
At some point, confidence was one thing i struggled with.
it was really terrible for me.
I remember in high school, i had this literature teacher who loved to talk alot.he was really bold and very confident.
I would say he was one of our saving grace in school then because he spoke for us
when we were bullied or maltreated(hahaha).
I was really quite in class during his lessons but, whenever he gives an assignment, i was always at the top. he knew my name but doesn’t know me personally. so,one day, he was in class and he asked who this person was and i answered.
he was really surprised because he never heard me talk in
class(low self esteem was really working).
Weeks later, we had an open day and my mum was around.
when he saw her, he said something…”ma, your daughter is really creative and intelligent but, you need to work on her
confidence”
Sincerely, those words shaped me. i would’ve been so offended at his words but, those were healing words for me. i still struggle with it sometimes but, Iam much more better now though still working on myself(lol).
Low self esteem is an enemy to yourself. you need to fight it so hard till you conquer it.
If you dont fight it early enough,you will begin to experience depression, anxiety, failure, emotional and mental breakdown and so many heart breaking situations.
You are good enough.
Those eyes, nose, legs, hands, etc are really beautiful.
Do not allow your physical appearance belittle you.
You are smart, intelligent and full of great ideas.
Your age or the success of people around you shouldnt break you or make you think less of
yourself.
Strive at becoming excellent and exceptional at what you do.
This is the time to wakeup and do so much more.
