Positive Esteem Part 2(Continuation)
     I started with the above topic 'positive self esteem 'if you missed out on that please you can go to my blog archive, thanks. Today I will be concluding on this by highlighting other strategies that enhances, build, and regenerate our self esteem. They are:
-Stop comparing yourself with other people; God wants you to be the best and have the best of life, you don't have to be or end up like others or to be average, a mediocre. Most times we are not gifted alike; our assignments are different, so if you keep on comparing, as the bible says you are not wise. You don't need to be all things to all people or please everyone. Give yourself a break for once!always remind yourself when your doing things well-don't wait until you hear it from another person
