It’s okay to cry and show a few tears once in a while when we experience pain. But don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson. A lesson learned is a lesson that will strengthen your self esteem in one or another.

Questions that you sometimes, may wonder about, if some people are born leaders or positive thinkers. NO. Being positive, and staying positive is a choice. What is self esteem ? Building self esteem and drawing lines for self improvement is a choice, not a rule or a talent. God in is greatness give us the choice and we are in control, we decide whaterver we want for ourselves then we reap the rewards or the consequences.
