7 Ways on How to Build-up Self Esteem

Poor self-esteem causes you to judge yourself negatively inthe fear that you are worthless, inferior, or rejected. If you believe thatself-esteem can be created through other people, you’re probably mistaken. Youcan only redeem it by yourself.

Becoming a Jack of All Trades

I never had known that I myself came to realize that I do possess a lot of skills already until someone already told me that I do have lot of remarkable skills. I feel flattered every time someone appreciates my skills and talents as an individual. Recently, I have a long chat with my classmate in school after the stressful examination week. We both share good stories with each other as we cover topics like almost everything we have common with. As I share my story, he was amazed on the things that I know, and the skills & talents I possess and I’m once again felt flattered about that. I haven’t talk to someone that long and share many things as what happened earlier. I feel grateful and thankful whenever someone appreciates me as a person.

“Jack-of-all-trades” he called me for the things, skills, talents I have shared to him. Never did that word came to my mind until this time. Do I possess lots of skills & talents now for me to be called like that? This question of mind sunk within me as I reflect to what we have just conversed with. I know that because of my experiences in life, I tend to adapt and master skills I needed to know in order to survive and comply with God-given problems I’m encountering. I acquired my talents because of my curiosity to learn such things, and my passion and drive in pursuing it.

I remember the times I stammered in speaking to a cashier in a fast food chain. That happened during my high school days, when my classmates and I decided to try the new product of that store. In fact, I did stammer when she ask for my order, which in turn giving me the wrong one. I admit it’s my fault. I didn't deliver the message to her clearly. That dilemma happens not just once but a lot of times whenever I’m conversing with others.
