All human beings have the need to be respected, to have self-esteem, to respect themselves and to respect others. People need to engage to gain recognition and to have an activity or activities that give them a sense of contribution, to feel accepted and valued; whether in a profession or hobby. Imbalances at this level can result in low self-esteem; complex inferiority.
The strategy to help people develop self-esteem and achieve self-actualization is to encourage the person to do what best fulfills the potential and the person achieves the life goal of excellence by doing the things that best suit their potential. .
A well-recognized job with the appreciation of family and friends or co-workers raises self-esteem and confidence. Motivation will help to gain due consideration and respect in the workplace, bonding relationship with loved ones and colleagues which will ultimately help in the realization of the best of oneself to achieve self-realization. The achievement of self-actualization is a state of maximum self-satisfaction that improves mental, physiological and social well-being which, in turn, helps improve positive outlook on life.
Low self-esteem spoils self-confidence and withers the spirit of living or feeling alive with the environment. Lack of self-confidence causes unwanted feelings. The feeling of rejection and despondency can negatively affect the general well-being and negatively affect the relationship with everyone around us. This can imbue a sense of worthlessness that can reduce life to a meaningless existence.
But the life given by the force of the divinity above is for a greater purpose. The creator wants us to live a life full of love, care and protection; and distribute the received in the same measure. The creator wants us to have good spirits to contribute to the perseverance of the divine creation of the mystical universal beauty. The way to contribute to universal perseverance is to discover the potential that is in us and use that potential in order to preserve and not destroy. By identifying the potential in us and nurturing that potential to perform a specific task to help fulfill the grand design of the universe, there will be a return in the form of recognition and other rewards.
The best reward is the feeling of self-confidence and self-esteem. The euphoric feeling will raise your self-esteem and help you reach the ultimate stage of personal satisfaction. It is this positive feeling that you have to look for. Without it, one cannot nurture oneself or others; one cannot love oneself or love others. It is this feeling that strikes the chord of balance and harmony in life, a feeling that is so desperately needed to sustain the natural order of life in the universe. The motivation for self-esteem in the pursuit of personal fulfillment is beyond comparison to the motivation for material gain alone.
