How can you develop self esteem?

How do you improve self esteem? Instead of blaming others, take responsibility for being happy, achieving your goals, enjoying your life. Instead of focusing on your faults, think positive thoughts and feelings that build your confidence and make you feel good, competent and self- sufficient. Instead of being critical to yourself and others, look for something likeable in yourself and in everyone you know and meet. Instead of trying to change others, focus on being the person you want to be. Instead of saying “I can’t do this” or “ I don’t know anything about this”, read, learn from others—do whatever you can to develop your talents and skills. Instead of focusing on your failures, acknowledge and celebrate your achievements and successes! Instead of saying “Oh, its nothing really’, accept another’s compliments—say “Thank you!” and enjoy praise without embarrassment.
