Hello friends of this great community, did you know that self-esteem is one of the most important factors for a person to enjoy the results they have always dreamed of? because self-esteem in the end is the way we see ourselves, it is what I feel I am capable of, it is what I feel I deserve to enjoy.

So, if my self-esteem is weak, it is low, I will never be able to take the first step towards that desired goal, because who am I to deserve it? Who am I to achieve that? I shouldn't even try because I won't be able to, I won't succeed, they will reject me, they will judge me. Your self-esteem, mind you, is not a simple emotional whim, it is the internal narrative that defines your reality, it is what you feel you can do, what you deserve to live, the perspective with which you face the world.

If that narrative is one of lack, scarcity, of doubts, how are you going to take the first step towards what truly excites you? Self-esteem goes far beyond the image we see in the mirror, it is an internal ecosystem. Let's think about intellectual self-esteem. Do you trust your mind to learn new things? To solve complex problems, to face challenges with new ideas, or think about professional self-esteem. Do you feel worthy of attracting that ideal client? that your work is valued, that it is recognized, because if deep down you don't feel worthy of all those things, all those opportunities and you see yourself as small or incapable, everything else, no matter how much perseverance, no matter how much discipline, no matter how much focus you put, can fall apart.

I have brought this topic here because in my life I have already limited myself hundreds of times by feeling that I was not enough and by a very weak self-esteem that haunted me for many years and that prevented me from seeing my own value and therefore executing all my plans, my projects, my ideas.

For me, self-esteem and confidence are the keys to success, they are the keys to feeling good about yourself, but of course, how do we develop that confidence? How do we develop real self-esteem that allows us to do everything we need to build the life we ​​want? I would tell you that the first step and the most important step is to develop the skill of self-analysis and with it a deep emotional maturity.

Let me explain, you need to learn to recognize the reason for your actions and your doubts, so, every time you find yourself putting yourself down, every time you find yourself sabotaging yourself, doubting yourself, a light should go on in your mind and you ask yourself the following question, why am I minimizing myself? What's behind all this? And you will realize that it can be for several reasons.

These reasons are, one, envy. Could it be because I'm envious of someone? Look at a person achieving something incredible and I feel that I am not going to be able to achieve it too, which causes me frustration or is it because I have already had a previous failure and I think I am not good enough and I should give up once and for all.

Regardless of whether it is out of envy or whether it is because you have gone through a very difficult experience, a previous very difficult situation, I need you to integrate this in your head, You cannot, you cannot put yourself down under any circumstances at any time! You can't see yourself as a small person because you're not! And I tell you this because in the end, honestly, we have all fallen into this, into this trap, especially today with social networks, a lot of people showing their perfect lives, their successes, their achievements and it is great to be inspired, but the truth is that that inspiration often becomes a trap, we begin to compare ourselves and that comparison paralyzes us.

Many times when we see those results, lives, extraordinary lives, that little voice comes in our head that says, "Phew, I'm never going to achieve that." Or, "Who am I to even try?" So, be careful with comparison, please, because comparison paralyzes us before we even take that first step, even about to take the step to launch that project that is going to change everything.

So, I don't want to blame you with all this envy because, as I say, it is completely normal, envy has even been a very important element for us human beings to evolve, because envy awakens that desire, that spark that we too can make things happen, but what we cannot do is wish evil on others, what we cannot do is look at someone else's achievement and think that we will never be able to achieve it.
