Improving Self Esteem With Self Belief
By:Stephen Zaba

Having self-worth in yourself is vital in improving self-esteem within. Self-worth has nothing to do with being rich, having the best education or gifted with good looks. Your self-worth has nothing to do with your ability or inability to perform any task. Meaning, you are not worthless in whatever you put your mind to.

It is all about having the self-belief in your own ability to know you are capable of doing anything you want and improving self-esteem is a by-product of having inner self-belief. By possessing this self-belief, there is no limits to what we can achieve and it can only enhance our lives.

When you are lacking in self-worth, this inevitably diminishes your self-belief and instead of being pro-active in your decisions, you end up being reactive to your environment. This in turn gives the person in question a victim like mentality, a behaviour that promotes a definite lack of self-esteem.

There are times when things are going well and you feel that you're in total control and suddenly things turn for the worse. You might react badly and resort to that victim mentality. Try to stay in your power and know that mistakes are all part of improving self-esteem and growing as a person.

Maybe you are a person that lives your life in procrastination and doubt. You don't believe you have the self-worth to achieve something you know will turn around your life. You have the thoughts in your mind that will improve things, but don't have the self-belief to put anything into action.

If only you had the courage and determination to act on your thoughts. You would start to achieve all the things that at the moment are in your imagination and your self-belief would grow by the day and you would no longer be in a reactive state.

Improving self-esteem is accomplished quite naturally when you start to believe in yourself and ultimately your self-worth is restored. Don't be held back by beliefs that you are not good enough, it happens to other people rather than you or I will do it when I have time. Let it happen to you and let it happen now! You are the creator of your own destiny.
