Self esteem they say is like a fragile blossom - no one can give it back to you once it is gone. It is the most important thing that you have an ownership on. The more you have a respect for yourself, the more you get the respect from others. Try mixing with the right group of people and keep moving in the right direction. There are many life-changing events that may threaten to alter the course of your life. Do not accept these changes head on. Try to challenge the situation and find out a better path for yourself. Never find yourself doing something that is strictly not meant for you. Compelling circumstances may push your back to the wall; you would still need the resilience to fight back.

One thing to remember is that over time, the situation does not remain the same. In the circle of life, nothing is fixed and static. Situations and circumstances keep changing and over time things will definitely look up for you. Give yourself the much needed space and you will find the change that you are looking for.

Always be positive and think that way. There is no point in brooding over what happened and what would have been had the event not happened. Move on with life as best as you possibly can and you are bound to get the rewards. When there is a storm blowing over, lie down and let the storm blow over. Get up once again and you can repossess the direction of your life once again.

It has been an undisputed truth that once you let your life to be controlled by others, even if for a few fleeting moments, you are calling for sure trouble. You would be trampled upon, all wrong things would happen to you and life, and the purpose to live would slowly seem to be slipping out of your hands. A low feeling of despondency and the absence of self esteem will claw your soul. Yet you have the ability to take control. Put your foot down and say 'No' and for a change you will find what a tonic effect this has on your detractors. The controls are once again with you. Take the risks and the challenges and be brave to say your mind out. People will get going and keep you at an arm's length from then on. It would work like a miracle and you would have earned your self esteem back.
