(From Karl Perera at more-selfesteem.com and depression-helper.com)
My message this week comes from what I see on the news and online in response to what is happening in our world.
The best way to build self esteem, do you know what it is?
It is simple. Try to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
Be true to your values and don't just try to fit in, dare to stand out and be who you really are. When you do this, not only will you become more successful, you will feel life so much more powerfully.
“Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
However, take a look around and listen to what others say about what is happening in our world now and you will see that things are changing fast but are they changing for the good?
My message then to you this week is please don't worry or get depressed over the events in the news and the problems and conflicts. The only thing you can control is...
How you think and what values you hold as important.
Justice? Freedom of expression? Honesty? Democracy? Equality? Peace?
Promise yourself that no matter what you will hold to your values and do the right thing, that's all you can control - your thoughts, your behaviour and your feelings.
Now, I want to tell you that I have been improving and adding to the content on the website to make it better and more helpful. I would like your help sharing these pages and if you're on Facebook or Google Plus,
