Active AimA Journey and Destination

Much has been said about the spheres of power as an individual goes through the phase of wanting to

achieve greater heights, but it is also basically important to begin with building your confidence with

self-esteem before taking a step further.

Initially, knowing the basics of leadership, influence or success start off as a personal quest in dissecting the

individual psyche, that of developing the person to be confident in himself through building self-esteem and

the desire to succeed.

But what exactly is self esteem?

In essence, it is someone’s personal appraisal or evaluation of a person’s own worth.

Simply put, it is the sense of how a person establishes self-worth, which ultimately shapes the path for a

person’s quest in life, it is the concept of personality which can only be determined by the person himself.

Extensive research has been poured out to give definition to self esteem and how it plays an important role in

personal ambition and residual success, how it help shapes a person’s character and also play a key role in

developing personal priorities.

In the field of psychology, the studies and researches on self-esteem has constantly been intended to explore

and discover what people generally believe they need to be doing to establish their worth or value as a person,

as well as the underlying effects of those beliefs.

This personal pursuit is then responsible for that individual sense of satisfaction of basic human needs for

independence, better learning, autonomy, physical health, mental stability, relationships and self regulation.

There are several motivators behind the pursuit for self esteem and what people commonly associate as the

primary driver for establishing their self worth.

Virtue is one of those drivers for self-esteem as it defines a person’s good qualities and the need for high

merit, both personally and socially.

Virtue answers the need for an individual’s desire for acceptance into a social network.

Another motivator in the quest for self-esteem is a person’s quest for God’s love, regardless of a person’s

religious belief or affinity.

Man’s innate need for a deity or a worship figure is surprisingly one of the most important need man aspires

for in order to be at peace with himself, eventually resulting to a positive self-esteem.

Many career-driven people, on the other hand, point out that there are also other factors that drive

self-esteem.

First there’s academic competence, which has become a yard stick and a measuring tool for those wanting to

achieve greater opportunities in landing a well-paying and rewarding career.

Others also feel confident about getting their self-esteem by way of enhancing their own physical

appearances, especially those wanting to look more attractive, upon which their self-esteem is dependent in

the outcome of their desire to become physically attractive.

There are some who simply believes that by just gaining the approval of others, regardless of whether it be a

personal, selfless or unsolicited action, they are able to acquire that sense of fulfillment and boost their

self-esteem.

To sum it all up, there are a variety of means and numerous ways for people to know what can help them

boost their self-esteem and acquiring it is a foundation and stepping stone to reaching those dreams and

ambitions, knowing that building your confidence with self esteem is the next best thing to fulfillment and

satisfaction.
