Be Yourself

Be Amazing

I spent most of my youth trying to be someone else. After all, I thought, there had to be something better than this. In reality, I was holding myself back. It came down to self-worth (self-esteem). Once I valued who I am, I became more aware of those around me. I was no longer focused on myself. According to Mentalhelp.net, Self-esteem refers to a person's beliefs about their own worth and value. It also has to do with the feelings people experience that follow from their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. Self-esteem is important because it heavily influences people's choices and decisions.

I have to come to believe in something greater than myself. 

A person with a high sense of self-worth is neither full of themselves, nor thinks that the world revolves around them. Instead, this person remembers and is humbled by their small but important role in the grand scheme of things. Like a singular wave in a great big ocean, they know they are part of something greater, and as such are never truly “alone.” -By Michael Stanwyck , The Ten Thought Habits of People with High Self-Worth.
