Confidence and Self-Esteem

How come then that by the time we are adults most of us seem to have completely lost that pride and love for ourselves? Most of us don't feel very positive about ourselves. We don't enjoy to be looked at, to receive compliments and usually have a horror of public speaking. This is because along the way into adulthood we have built certain beliefs that make us think that we are not lovable or that we are not enough.

So do you struggle with always comparing yourself to other people? Do you ever feel like you need to be more successful, better looking or thinner? And do you never really feel enough? We live in a competitive, comparative culture, which dramatically affects our self-esteem and low self-esteem has almost become an epidemic. Yet your confidence and self-esteem are the key to a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life.
