I hope this post find you well and on your way to living a live of peace and joy. I have had so many things put on my heart in the last few weeks and they all seem to be coming alive literally at the same time. But then again I guess that God knows what I can handle and what I can not. I am learning to trust that more and more everyday. So with the many writing projects and developments I have underway, I am working on a children’s series of developing self esteem. But as I began to write it I realized that many adults are battling this same issue right now as I type this blog. Most were not taught as children how to develop their own self esteem, and be proud of their accomplishments. How can we then expect those same adults to be able to teach and guide their children who may now battle with self esteem issues? We can’t.
Self esteem impressions take root at an early age. If that child is not encouraged or given the support needed to make them feel they are capable of making good sensible choices, then that barrier to promote a well balanced view of their accomplishments exists until they become adults as well. And most of us keep living that cycle of “what I did wrong” or “I am such a failure” for years after we have truly established ourselves as capable, responsible adults.
