Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - "The Depth of Self Esteem"Is an intense desire for personal growth and development a selfish thing?Some people think it is, but I disagree.Human beings are social beings. We feel the most lasting satisfaction andmeaning from our relationships with other people. We have a strong need tobelong, to love and be loved, to feel needed and accepted. But how much loveyou can give - and accept - depends on how you feel about yourself.Long before you can improve your relationships with others, you must firstimprove your relationship with yourself. If you don't value and care foryourself, you can't value and care for others.Also, did you know that having a high sense of self-worth is contagious? Yousee, when your self-esteem is high, you almost automatically nurture andmentor those around you, as well.To sum it up, how you feel about yourself directly affects how you live lifeand how you relate to others. So, it's far from selfish to want to grow as aperson and to feel a healthy sense of high self-esteem. In fact, highself-esteem will make you more generous. We all do unto others as we do untoourselves.And when you live with a storehouse of quiet, deep gladness in your heart,you'll be in a far better position to share, reach out, give and receivefrom others.Lou TiceThe Pacific Institutewww.thepacificinstitute.com"TPI teaches people how to manage change, set and achieve goals, lead moreeffectively, and think in ways that create success."---------------------------------------------------The Pacific Institute copyrights 1997-2005.
