Today I am going to share with my dear readers about quotes on self-esteem. Do you know that to have a low opinion of yourself is not modesty? In fact it is self-defeating. Self esteem is how we accept or approve of ourselves or how much we value ourselves.
We may have either a positive or a negative view of ourselves. This is how we have either high or low self-esteem. Low self esteem stems from having a poor self image. It is also causes by negative thinking. As a result, you start to believe the criticism others make of you.
For those who have high self-esteem are confident, cheerful, highly motivated and have the attitude to succeed in life.
