Change My Self-Esteem - Can I Get Happy If I Am Not Happy With Who I Am

Change My Self-Esteem - Can I Get Happy If I Am Not Happy With Who I Am?I have been reading the results of this recent survey, which gives us some insight into how we feel about ourselves. Most of us use self-esteem to justify why we do not feel good about ourselves and we can get very needy when we cannot meet our expectations. We also usually do not value ourselves enough to want to make a change.So, why are we so hard on ourselves if we are not happy with who we are? Do we feel better about ourselves when we are around people who are happier than us? How often do we believe we are worth more when we cannot get the best out of ourselves?Self-esteem is just an illusion and you can change your life without having to change what you think. With self-esteem there is no room for anything less than you and so if you find yourself in a situation where you cannot get the best out of yourself then you are right to be concerned.There is a large part of the reason for this that is out of our control. You will not be happy with your life until you figure out what has made you happy in the past and you develop your personality in a way that makes you happy. Once you learn how to make yourself happy, you will be surprised at how much you can change yourself for the better.I am not saying that you can not achieve real happy once you have learned how to take control of your happiness. On the contrary, I believe that once you have learned how to change your self-esteem to something else you will feel like you are a whole new person.You do not have to change your life and find out how to be happy if you are in a bad place because you feel you are not worthy of being happy. Yes, you may feel that way now but you can change this in a short time. We do not often appreciate what others have done to help us until we ask for help.Learning how to change your self-esteem to something else takes time and practice. It does not happen overnight. You can be sure that if you do not change your own self-esteem in a short period of time you will never learn how to change it to a new one.You do not have to be miserable when you learn to change the way you think about yourself and you learn a new ability or skill. Even though it is true that we are in control of what we think about our self, we can change it to something different. You can find joy in things that you cannot anymore.
