To resist the influence of others knowledge of oneself is important. Most people are confused about who they are, their goals and values and instead look up to other people for approval on who they are. They go back and forth waiting for others to tell them what is right or wrong about their lives.
Your worth will determine people's behaviours to you. It's the way they see you and how much they percept you to worth that will determine their attitude to you.
Your beliefs and values determine your character and your character defines your personality. And by your character and personality, people will perceive you to be either principled, confident or a counterfeit. Who you are, what you do and believe in, and what you stand for define you.
No one can make you feel more or less of yourself than you allow. You therefore owe it as a duty to yourself to remain confident and keep your head high. You should know what you are worth and be not ready to compromise on it.
Self esteem plays an important role in shaping our lives. Without self esteem you will allow yourself to be victimised, to be taken for granted and treated as they want. Without self esteem there is a limit to what you can have and make yourself to become. Without self esteem you base your beliefs on people's opinions and place a limitation on your capability.
High self esteem gives you confidence, competence, calmness and fulfillment. Low self esteem brings nothing but stress, fear, self doubt, negativity and the tendency to sell yourself short to others.
If you don't know who you are, you will allow yourself to be swallowed up in somebody's else life in order to find fulfillment and self worth. You will think you need them in order to be you.
No one will love you unless you first love yourself and you can't love yourself if you don't know who you are and your true worth.
Until you know your true worth and believe in what you can do and that you are made for something great, then can you stand tall and rub shoulders with the high and mighty and refuse to be intimidated by others.
