Self esteem is the back bone of all success in life.
But it can’t be bought – for love or money.
It has to be earned.
How?
Not by trying to please others
but by being true to yourself and your word.
Think of your inner child as a real child.
Are you keeping your promises to this unique being?
Does it find in you a trustworthy friend?
Are you taking care of your own essential needs?
Are you helping yourself be all you can be?
Often we over-promise to others as well as ourselves
This is like a short term sugar fix.
We boost our self esteem temporarily.
Then when we don’t keep our promise
we fall into a deep dark pit.
The trick is to stop promising.
Wean yourself off the sweet fake currency of
over-promising.
Here’s Jack Canfield’s method :
Keep a note book with you at all times
and each time you make a promise
to others or yourself write it down
in this book with the date you plan to deliver.
This Saturday in Zürich I’m offering a mini workshop
on how to build unshakeable self esteem.
We’ll explore how this theme shows up in your hands
and what to do to build a solid platform of positive self regard.
If you’re in the area, you’re invited to come join us for a fun, highly informative morning.

Self confident is important for all aspects of life. I agree with you that we don’t need to over promise to our self and to others. Just be real, be yourself, and love yourself.
Yeh This is really true and this post is great. Thanks for sharing keep updating………..
This could be anything from getting rid of acne, your regretting attitude, being over-weight or nagging friends at school. You need to identify reasons that make you feel unworthy, ashamed and inferior. Just pen them down and name them.
To begin with we really should stop lying to ourselves. It’s a big problem for me too. The most typical example is “I’m giving up smoking next Monday”. And repeat it to myself every week.
