Enhance YOUR Self-Esteem

Develop the inner strength to do what is right!

The way we feel about ourselves has a huge effect on the way we treat ourselves and others, and on the kinds of choices we make. If we are not confident about our own abilities then we tend to not take chances, which mean we limit our success. At the same time, if we are not satisfied with who we are then we often assume we will not be satisfied with others, and that means we do not treat them fairly. To make life even more challenging, when
we do not have self-esteem we often choose the paths that are easiest, and that can lead to breaking rules to get what we want. It makes sense to seek out ways to enhance our self-esteem in order to ensure that we are the best that we can be, and that we treat others well.. As martial artists, we must avoid “giving in” and allowing ourselves to
take a lesser path. Martial artists look at high self-esteem as a duty, a call to action that is necessary to carry on at a higher level. Martial artists consistently strive to accomplish this task, and persevere when situations become challenging. Enhancing your self-esteem will enable you to increase your success, enhance your social competence, and improve your overall life. This is not an easy task to accomplish, but a task that is well worth the effort. Martial artists know the importance of self-esteem and the effects it has on life. As you work to increase your confidence and
positive attitude, you’ll reap the benefits of high self-esteem each and every day.
1.    Develop your talents. Seek out activities that you are
good at and then strive to excel in those activities.
2.    Be your own best friend. Treat yourself well mentally,
physically and emotionally, and act in ways that are
good for you.
3.    Make good choices for yourself; don’t let others
make choices for you.
4.    Take responsibility for yourself, your choices, and
your actions.
5.     Always do what you know is right. Don’t even
consider cheating, lying, or stealing.
6.    Set goals and work to achieve them. Your goals are
your road map; without that map, you will get lost.
7.    Treat other people with respect. Avoid greed, anger,
and jealousy.
8.    Practice forgiveness, even if the other person is
in the wrong.
