Your self-esteem is not a narrative or internal dialogue that you hold with yourself. That’s just you having a conversation with yourself about yourself.

Your self-esteem is a state of being.

It is not something you can choose for yourself but rather something that is shaped by the choices that you make for yourself.

We make ourselves available to what we believe we are deserving of. Similarly, we lose ourselves to what we think we are incapable of rising above.

Your self-esteem is shaped by what you believe to be true about life, about what you believe you’re capable of, and by what space you think others willingly hold for you.

Note, it’s all about how you see things, not how others treat you.
