    Thank you for this short and interesting post.

    Self esteem is quite a complex issue. There are many activities that can be employed to help a person build their esteem but, of course, not all are appropriate for each person. The person also has to be ready to accept and challenge their low self esteem. One of the biggest obstacles for a person to overcome is their low esteem battling against the activities designed to boost their esteem.

    I agree with Doug that self-esteem is a complex issue. Even psychologists are arguing about how to describe it and how to make it more digestible for “humans”. One thing for sure though. You have to set up a goal, certain direction to your life to handle challenges more effectively and to live a more peaceful, happier life you all deserve.
