You Are Wonderful!!!

   An inadequacy that is very common in Generation X is low self esteem. This is more pronounced in cities where most of the city dwellers are rootless, faceless migrants; who all the time are busy pretending to be richer and better pedigreed than their neighbors. People are so inclined towards money making that they spend half of the life pretending that they hold better jobs, are very educated than they actually are and are far better endowed financially. 

   People with conscience very quickly get tired of this game and eventually lose belief in their self. These good ones are those with low self esteem because their honesty has thrown them out of the rat race as they were incapable of competing with the deceit of the rat pack. These honest people find it difficult to cope with the hype and hoopla of the strategies required to promote themselves. Be it a teacher, an aspiring writer, a struggling entrepreneur, a budding actor or a corporate executive all have to market themselves as this is the age where packaging is more important than the package itself. 

   This creates immense pressure on the honest ones. They do not fit anywhere. Eventually they lose interest in what they are doing / aspire to do and suffer from low self esteem. To boost your self esteem make a list of 10 qualities in which you excel. Everyone of us is a treasure house with many virtues; only one needs to go and dig within. But we always seek validation from those around us and mould our life according to the whims and fancies of others around. This creates self - doubt and feeds the giant of low esteem. One must break the vicious cycle of negativity and understand that your goodness is your plus point. So one must thank God for the goodness and qualities that one possesses. 

   Do not get disheartened by the menace of dishonesty, favoritism and fakeness around you. Know your self worth and value yourself in order to be at calm within. Keep doing your best in whichever field you are. Do not stop updating yourself and keep on learning. Practice self love as it gives you the strength to go a long way in life. Learn to pamper your self physically and psychologically. Never ever think that someone else is better than you because you are a unique creation of God. No body is superior as we are all differently abled.  Your self - worth and self - esteem are in your mind. Believe that you are the best and wonderful in whatever you do and be confident of your talent.
