Self esteem is a sense of ones worth in relationship to their efficacy in achieving their desires.

Self esteem comes from connecting with and creating ones identity.

It is a sense of self and of self worth.

It is a feeling of feeling like one wants to be who they are and no one else.

It is a general sense of appreciation, gratitude, contentment, satisfaction and happiness with who one is and how they work.

Self esteem comes from ones own validation of themselves.

When one accepts, approves and appreciates who they are, for what they are and for their capacity to adapt and evolve, then they have a high self esteem.

A low self esteem would be a low sense of worth.

Ones sense of worth should be directly correlated to reality, ones values and their standards.

When one operates in the world according to their standards, such as work ethic and also aligns with their chosen values, such as honesty and intelligence, then they are congruent with their thoughts and actions and thus validate themselves that they are who they want to be.

When one says they want to start a new hobby, build a great body, start a new career, take risks, improve a skill, travel or build something, then they do it, this reinforces ones trust within themselves, which build confidence that when one says something, they do it. It is reinforcing that one can trust ones own word. When ones does what one wants to do, they are like a machine that just ‘works’.

When ones character works the way ones desires and intentions want, they form a tight bond with themselves, because their self gives and provides them with what they want.

If one wants to feel happy, but cannot, their self esteem will be low, or nonexistent. When one wants to burn fat, but they cannot build the discipline, dedication and inspiration to do so, this affects their perception of their worth. When one wants to build a successful business but keeps failing, one can interpret this that they are a failure.

When one cannot achieve the things they want to experience because they lack the strength of will to create the virtues they need to do what they want (inspiration,intelligence, commitment etc..), they view themselves as an unworthy machine. A useless device to make them feel and experience that which they want. It becomes a negative reinforcing downwards spiral. One cannot do what they want, they can not overcome the challenges of laziness, stupidity or ignorance, this subconsciously registers as a failure and they begin to fail at more and more things in life.

Eventually they unconsciously view themselves as such a total failure that they begin to think someone else would do a better job of running them, controlling them and dictating their life for them to give them what they want, such as security, comfort, entertainment, direction and purpose.

These are all natural things to want. The difference between one with self esteem and one without is that one can and wants to achieve, build and control these things himself and one wants someone else to do it because they are incompetent.

Strength of will is the key component which allows one to build self esteem. The strength to persist as a sovereign being to purposefully control ones life, to play the game of oneself as oneself, as opposed to playing the game of self with someone else holding the remote and making all the choices.

When one directs their focus into being strong, they then have the will to learn what they need to do to achieve their goals and make them happy.

When one is achieving their goals, they build their self esteem and thus feel happiness at manifesting desires into reality.

It is a great feedback system to continue playing the game of life. Have a desire, focus your will into what you want, achieve what you want, feel good about it, build your self worth and solidify your actualisation as someone you want to be and play life as. The cycle repeats, because you have evidence you can achieve your desires, you have more desires to experience more and to continue feeling good, so you keep doing more and continue to build your character.

It’s like when someone is playing WOW (world of war craft), they start off as a level 1 with no idea how to play the game. Then they put time and effort into the game, learning how to play and evolve, and they increase their level, allowing them to continue playing, increasing their strength and experiencing more. Except when one plays WOW, they do not end up asking someone else to play their character for them so they can just watch and observe the characters process of evolution and experience. One will play the game as their character, it would seem absurd to play WOW but to not actually play it. Yet this is what many if not most people do in their lives. They only want a tiny bit of control to do what they want, the rest they outsource to the government, religions and anyone else who promises to think for them and to relive them of the burden of playing their own character.

The action of outsourcing ‘playing ones character’, obliterates ones self esteem as it is a booming declaration of “I don’t know how to play me, I don’t want to learn how to play me and please oh please can’t someone else just live my life for me?”

The outsourcing of playing ones character, living ones life, is evident when one refuses to learn about their health, refuses to learn about politics, governance and social structures, refuses to learn about their own psychology, refuses to learn about what makes them tick, who they are and what reality is, refuses to take responsibility for their actions, refuses to question authority, refuses to think through any mainstream claims, refuses to consider they are wrong about their beliefs, refuses to recognise evil, refuses the possibility that there is a better way to live than they are now, refuses to acknowledge they are in control of their life, refuses to consider what happens after death, refuses to learn about philosophy (in a basic sense), refuses to improve their communication skills and essentially refuses to do any kind of meaningful work on their character/mind/spirit/self/being.

When ones only focus is on sport, gossip, parties, alcohol, smoking, food, sleep, entertainment, comedy, music, fashion, status, games, tv shows, pets, material objects, the latest msm trends and scrolling social media, they have handed over their mouse and keyboard to someone else to play as them. None of these things alone are proof one has abandoned their gaming chair, their throne of life, but combined together and with any lack of effort into the primary essences of reality, it’s as if they have flicked the auto pilot switch and left the cockpit.

No wonder most do not have self esteem and instead have pre-conditioned defensive mechanisms, excessive pride and humility, obedience and submission to authority. For there is no one home to for which a self esteem can exist! The player has left the game, all that is left is an automated program, only capable of the most basic and mundane of tasks.

Whether this is metaphorical or literal is hard to tell, although the results appear to be the same. When one abandons ship, there vessel automatically steers towards the closest whirlpool, goes round and round until it eventually sinks into the bottomless deep.

If one wants to set sail, enjoy their journey and arrive at their destination, they need to focus their will into what they want. The result is self esteem, which is the fuel to continue experiencing what one wishes to. When one runs out of this fuel, it’s as if their race car has hit E in the middle of the track, game over.

When one loses their self esteem, they lose the will to play their life, to be themselves, to be authentic, to be real, to be sovereign.

When one is able to piece by piece build their self esteem, the world is their proverbial oyster.

Self esteem is like a ladder. What one wants is currently out of their reach above them. For them to get to the next level, to see and experience what they desire, they must build their ladder, climb higher so they can reach what is out of their reach. The more one works on their ladder, the more one experiences their desires, fulfils their wants and needs and achieves worthy goals, the more resources they have to make their ladder ever taller and ever more useful to them.

Most never begin to create this ladder past the first few levels, for fear of falling down.

They don’t realise that the higher one builds this metaphorical ladder, the broader the base must be, making it harder and harder for them to fall the higher and higher they go. The more they climb, the less likely they are to fall.

The smaller ones fire, the more likely it is to falter and fail. The larger ones fire, the more furiously it burns, the harder it is to put out. If one wishes to burn (to experience life, play the game of life as their character), they need to put fuel in their fire. If one places small twigs and leaves in their fire, sure they may see a rush of flames (dopamine hits from drugs, social media etc..), but their fire is sure to simmer down quickly. If one places a large log into their fire which is already well established, it will burn steadily for a long time (happiness from achieving goals).

The larger ones fire, the larger the logs they can place in it, the longer it burns.

The more one works on themselves, the more self esteem they build, the more they can accomplish and experience, the more they become.

Self esteem is confidence in one self. If one was to hypothetically reach a god level of omnipotent self esteem, nothing would shake them, no insult could ever land, they would know all there is to know about their self. They would be confident in their ability to achieve absolutely anything in reality they wanted to.

Since we are mere mortals, we are on the journey of building our self esteem to such a level, whether we achieve that or not is not the point, the point is that we aim towards it regardless of it’s achievement. The journey itself is a worthy journey.

The feedback one receives in the form of self esteem from living life is enough for one to continue living their life. Although, what other option do they have? To the conscious individual, to pull the plug on their life support and allow their body to be inhabited by demons (external programs) is no option at all.

One is either playing their character as themselves, or is allowing outside forces to play them for them.

The option is to exist as an ‘I’ or as a ‘not I’. To be animate or inanimate. A player or an observer.

Sense of self, worthiness, self esteem, can only be built by a conscious mind using the faculty of reason. For one cannot achieve their goals with a method other than reason.

If one believes they are achieving goals with faith or another method, they sure are building something, but it isn't their esteem. Only an illusory effigy.

For one using faith can only create the imaginary, the unreal, which is something, but it is not existing in reality and esteem must have a basis in reality, a knowingness of ones proficiency to manipulate reality according to their will and desires. Imagination and fantasy are amazing things, but not when they are mistaken for reality.

One must not mistake self esteem to being able to achieve the unachievable. If one desires to have the perfect, or at least a satisfactory partner, yet cannot find them, this does not effect their esteem.

 

It is outside their control to be able to manifest a compatible partner at their discretion. They sure can put themselves in the environments where they are more likely to find them, but it is outside of their power to directly control that which is uncontrollable.

What one can do is control the way they feel and think about not being able to achieve particular desires.

One may wish to have world peace, they may work daily in every facet of life to achieve this yet work for a 100 years, for a 1000 lifetimes and never achieve this. This will not negatively affect ones esteem because they can only control themselves.

One can control the way they look, feel, how they make money, who they decide to be friends with, what that consume (in every aspect) and all else that is in their direct power to control. This is what builds self esteem. To be able to control the controllable.

When one cannot control the controllable, they feel out of control, they lose self respect, esteem, and they become controlled by whoever else wants to control them.

When one can control what they can, they become worthy of respect and deserving of appreciation in their own eyes.

One can not directly control whether their partner cheats on them or not, but they can control how they respond.

One can control how they feel when their partner talks to others, whether they feel jealous, happy or indifferent. One with a high self esteem would not feel jealousy why their neighbour has a bigger house a nicer car and more attractive partner. They would feel inspired.

One with a high self esteem is less likely to be affected by insults and others judgements of them. They are an island unto themselves.

One with a high self esteem does not easily conform to the will of others, to peer pressure or the latest trend.

They do what they want, because they have the confidence to, to be free, to be unique, to be themselves, to be authentically real.

Self esteem is a tool to aid one in achieving more, it is also a reward for achieving more. It is a beneficial double edged sword. It’s the confidence in ones ability to deal with life.

The more you have, the more you can do, the more you do, the more you have, so on and so forth.

When one allows unreal, false and inaccurate perceptions of themselves to cloud their vision of their real self, their esteem is affected. They must look through the window of ego and clearly see what they really are to have a high esteem, but this can only be done if they keep their window clean, free of smudge and dirt (pride and humility).

As soon as one does not give their mirror a daily wipe down, keeping it spotlessly clean, it will become dirty and their reflection will not be seen clearly, it will be foggy and clouded. A foggy ego leads to a distorted and vulnerable sense of self. As it should, for it is now supported by wobbly foundations, unclear and hard to see. When one cannot see clearly, they are unsure of what it is they are actually seeing, unsure of themselves, who they really are. A clean and pristine reflection, unaffected by energetic distortions, allows a true picture of the self, an accurate image of the self.

The one with the highest self esteem will be the most real, authentic, genuine, comfortable and confident. Their ego will be spotless. But just as one can polish their mobile phone to a sparkly shine, as soon as they use it, their greasy finger prints begin to stain it. As long as one lives, their ego, which is the lens of ones perspective on who they are, becomes used. It is very difficult to keep something clean which is used daily. One can only do their best. Provided one is doing their best, they will have the highest self esteem which is possible for them at any given point in their life.

When one stops doing their best at anything, their esteem drops. Whenever they begin to do anything at their best, their esteem rises. Omniscience is not necessary for healthy esteem. The best one can do is the best they can do.

The better one is able to attune themselves in alignment with their now self and their desired self, the better they will feel and the more confident they are in their worth.

When one has a low self esteem, it is a piece of cake for them to commit evil acts. They do not believe they are worth anything, let alone worth doing the right thing. One with no self esteem will be a parasite, a thief, a murderer, a liar, unsure of themselves, insecure and easily manipulated.

Those with low self esteem will bully others, deceive them, rip them off, attack them, manipulate and do all kinds of horrible things to others to gain some sense of power over others because they lack confidence in their own real value.

It’s very easy to spot one with low self esteem, for they simply do not think for themselves, as it goes against their short sighted and boxed in perception of survival. Police, magistrates, politicians, celebrities or anyone else who is under the thumb of a chain of command typically has low self esteem, as that is how hierarchy's of power must operate, otherwise why would the people at the bottom of the chain obey the people at the top? The lower down the chain, the lower the self esteem, the more easily manipulated to do the higher ups bidding. It doesn't matter if one with low self esteem is being offered money, fame, power, recognition or social acceptance, if they aren't confident in their own worth, people can and are manipulated into doing the wrong thing, from the average joe to presidents.

People with low self esteem cannot validate themselves, so they seek validation externally. This makes them dangerous to society because they are willing to do anything but work on themselves. This is a generalisation, but the theme is self evident across the masses and especially with those in positions of power.

When one has low self esteem, it is not that they are automatically bad, it is just they are much more likely to do bad things. Intentionally or unintentionally, it doesn't matter.

Doing bad things isn't simply robbing your neighbour or becoming a cop. Doing bad can simply be watching the news, sharing the msm propaganda on social media, wearing a mask, getting a flu vaccine, sending children to public schools, paying tax, paying fines, not standing up to police, littering, supporting big pharma, donating to false front charity's and supporting evil in any other direct or indirect way which furthers deepens slavery of all men and world dystopia.

Evil can only triumph when good men do nothing, and when men who think they are good unintentionally but ignorantly are employed by evil to do the bidding of monsters. Self esteem is a bulwark against ignorance because a man with self worth has the intellectual dignity to question every belief he has so he can congruently align his world view with accurate reality.

That is why self esteem is a requirement for one to be good. One must know they are good, demonstrated to themselves and others by their actions. One cannot be truly good unless they take the time to think about what it really means to be good. One who has proved their worthiness to be good via deeds is much more likely to continue doing good and much less likely to do bad.

One with low self esteem will not treat themselves right and one who does not treat themselves right cannot treat others right.

For a man or woman to be good, they must treat themselves right in their behaviours and deeds, when they do this, now they have the chance to be good.

(Self esteem) It means that one must earn the right to hold oneself as one’s own highest value by achieving one’s own moral perfection—which one achieves by never accepting any code of irrational virtues impossible to practice and by never failing to practice the virtues one knows to be rational—by never accepting an unearned guilt and never earning any, or, if one has earned it, never leaving it uncorrected—by never resigning oneself passively to any flaws in one’s character—by never placing any concern, wish, fear or mood of the moment above the reality of one’s own self-esteem. And, above all, it means one’s rejection of the role of a sacrificial animal, the rejection of any doctrine that preaches self-immolation as a moral virtue or duty.

In order to deal with reality successfully—to pursue and achieve the values which his life requires—man needs self-esteem: he needs to be confident of his efficacy and worth.

Self-esteem is the consequence, expression and reward of a mind fully committed to reason.

Anxiety and guilt, the antipodes of self-esteem and the insignia of mental illness, are the disintegrators of thought, the distorters of values and the paralyzers of action.
