Your WISDOM note ...for the week of March 27, 2011:

Self-Esteem = the positive feelings you have about yourself based on your beliefs.

Self-esteem is a basic human need.  It's development begins in childhood.  Being encouraged, supported; and having your accomplishments reinforced, nurtures your positive sense of self. 

As an adult, your self-esteem continues to develop through intentional self-awareness, & challenging yourself to grow.  Without high self-esteem, your identity becomes tied to: family, children, spouse, & job rather than to who your inner self is.

Return to a focus on the development of healthy self-esteem... and feel positive about who you are.
