Self Esteem Problems Damage.
Failure is One of the Effects of Low Self Esteem.

Beware. Self esteem problems can destroy our chances for success.

But what are the causes of low self esteem?

Many factors can cause low self esteem. Discover them, and you can prevent failure. It is one of the negative effects of low self esteem.

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal, win a prize or apply for a new job, but didn't get it?

Or worse, you didn't even try at all.

Why? Perhaps you felt you couldn't do it. You weren't good enough. Or that you were afraid that you would make a fool of yourself.

Self doubt, self criticism and fear are symptoms as well as causes of low self esteem. They're bad enough on their own. But what's so terrible is that they can cause you to fail, too.

One failure, is easy to recover from. But to experience one failure after another, creates an even bigger problem.

That's because failure causes self esteem problems.

It's true that while continuous failure is a big cause of low self esteem, self esteem problems can also cause you to fail even more.

It's a vicious cycle. It drags you down to an even more depressed state. It becomes a habit. A trap. And depending on how bad it is, it would take a huge amount of effort and soul searching to change the pattern.

Low self esteem and failure--which comes first?

Whichever comes first doesn't really matter. The important thing is to break the cycle. But how does one get out of the mire?

Why don't we start with our low self esteem?

Since this is a website about inspirational thoughts, let's start with what's inside our heads. With what we think.

If our self esteem depends on what we think of ourselves, then thinking ill of ourselves causes low self esteem.

Let's work on changing that.

Instead of thinking we can't do it. We're not good enough. Or that it's just too hard. Think the opposite.

I find that whenever I'm faced with a huge task, giving myself a bit of pep talk does wonders. So much that I do it all the time.

Go on and try it.

Our self esteem determines our success. If we think we can, we will achieve. And our success fuels an even better self esteem.

Although I don't recommend taking other people's opinions too seriously, sometimes their opinions reflect the effects of low self esteem.

Would you agree?

And it's not good for anyone. That's because people in general benefit more from success than failure.

To avoid the negative effects of low self esteem, change your thinking.

Start thinking well of yourself.

And the success you achieve will become the best thing you can share.
