Self-Esteem? What? Protect It?

People everywhere long to be happy, fulfilled & prospering. Life it seems somehow occasionally just gets in the way. People sometimes get in the way. So, what does that translate to?

People ask themselves:

What in the heck happened?

  • The long-awaited job passed you by
  • The romantic partner met someone else
  • A friend let you down
  • You were lied to
  • Someone discouraged you
  • The vacation got postponed
  • A betrayal occurred
  • A disappointment was unexpected
  • You became a victim of abuse
  • A poor grade was received
  • The coach selected someone else
  • A sibling outperformed you
  • You were taken advantage of
  • A co-worker got the promotion
  • You lost most of your hair
  • Your boss let you go
  • A family member was hyper critical
  • The coach picked your best friend

The list could go on and on.  The bottom line is that something did happen that damaged your self-image. Something happened which was triggered by an event or triggered by what someone said or even what someone didn’t say.  So, what next?
