Each one of us were made in Christ's image and that makes us each special in our own way. It is a real heartache to me to see people think lowly of themselves and then surround themselves with people who add to that negativity. It's a vicious cycle with no good end. What we believe about ourselves will show thru in our attitudes, actions, and how we handle life itself.
People have often asked me, 'what pushed you to do what you've done?' I think the bottom line is expectations. I didn't ever think of myself as any different than Sally or Suzy growing up. Therefore, my self esteem didn't crutch itself with my physical limitations. There is only one 'Angie' to make the life she wants so no one will ever steal that confidence or leave a negative vibe that sustains.
What are some keys to self esteem? Surround yourself with positive friends and environments. Think less of what others opinions are and rely more on your own moral compass. Accept compliments with grace. Don't compare yourself with others.
'Your best may not be the best, but if it's your best, then that's good enough.' Ephesians 2;10 ''For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.''
