What's Self Esteem Got to Do With It?
Part 1
by Julie Fuimano

Page: 1 2

"I don't think I can do that," says Shirley.

"Does it matter what you think or does it matter what you do?" I replied.

"I never thought of it like that. I know I should do this; I guess I just don't think I'm good enough." Shirley confessed.

To which I replied, "Who asked you what you thought?"

Self-esteem is described as how you think about yourself. You may have been brought up to caution how you express yourself to others. You temper how you think about yourself so that you don't "get out of line" or become arrogant or "too big for your britches."

But the fact is that by tempering yourself, you shrink yourself. And although others may not feel insecure around you if you are not any bigger or more expansive than them, the fact is that you do not get to experience all that there is of you.

By being less than you are capable of being and doing for fear of being too big or too great, you are limiting yourself. When you limit yourself, the result is that you are left with a sense that you could be so much more and the world loses out because you are not giving all that you have " to BEING YOU! The more "you" you are, the greater the impact you have on the world.

Too often people are taught to do more for others. But in focusing on others rather than on yourself, you lose yourself and you miss out on enjoying life. You were born to make manifest all that is possible for you. In doing so, you naturally do more for others around you. It has the opposite effect of making others feel insecure; by being your all, you actually liberate others to be all that is possible for them.

People don't always know how to bring out the best in themselves. We are limited by how we think about ourselves, by how we were conditioned as children, by not knowing how to be more expansive and not knowing how to learn. We are also limited by our own ability to take risks, by our lack of courage.

Here's the good news. It doesn't matter what you think about yourself, your capabilities, or what other people think of you. Your job in this lifetime is to be who you are capable of being. You do not have a right to hold back for any reason.

Pretty bold, huh?

Think about it. Do you think the rose "thinks", "I don't know if I should open completely today. The other flowers get awfully jealous because I am so beautiful." Sounds silly, doesn't it? Well, it sounds just as silly when you do it to yourself.

What about a lion saying, "I shouldn't hunt so well or be so brave for fear of what the others in the pack will think or do." Even sillier. The fact is that the lion that demonstrates the most ferociousness and strength is the one the others follow.
