Some practical suggestions on how to improve our self esteem and what can we do about it?

1) You are unique and no one can ever be like you.

Every person is different and so are you.You
have your own set of talents,your own specialties.

You are special and nobody can ever be like you.When you accept yourself the way you are,you

will start enjoying yourself and life becomes more fun.

2) Everybody has strengths as well as weaknesses.

There definitely are certain things in which you are good.

For example sports,arts,etc.It could be anything .

And there are certain things which might be little difficult for you.You might take a

bit more time than rest of the people.To love yourself more you need to accept your

weaknesses as well as strengths.

3) Every person is important and so are you .

It is easier to accept yourself than others.The more you love yourself the more important
person you become. The more your love and respect yourself, others respect you the same.

4) Making mistakes is human nature.

There is no such thing called perfection.Everybody makes mistakes and
fails every now and then.The most successful persons we see, have had
their own share of failures.We all know that scientists are a brilliant example for that.

5) Failure means growth.

The more you fail,the closer you come to success.

As you fail you learn.You gain experience. And gradually you move towards what we call becoming an expert or a successful person.Never ever lose hope.

Try like a child,fail like a child.

And enjoy like a child even when you fail. 

6) Learn from others and teach others what you know.

Sharing is caring.The more you accept yourself ,the more closer you become to
yourself and others .It is wiser to be different,then trying to be like others.
The more you share( what you are given by god),the more you self-worth increases.
