Motivational Power Quote

 

Self-esteem is Like a Flower

 

"Self-esteem is like a difficult-to-cultivate flower.

It requires frequent nurturing

that occurs when you keep your word

and follow through on your promises."

Derrick Bell. Championing auto racer  

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Self-esteem is like a flower   

A flower is a beautiful thing to look at when it's in full bloom.  

A person with self-esteem is a beautiful thing to see when they radiate their confidence and their sense of worth.  

To experience the full beauty of a flower it has to be cared for and cultivated.  

Self-esteem has to be nurtured to bloom. The nurturing can come from us, a parent, a close friend, a coworker or someone that cares about the person.  

Nurturing a child can build their self-esteem and a foundation for a successful life. At other time the nurturing can support a person in rebuilding their self-esteem after a severe setback.    

If you know someone who needs a boost be there to nurture them.  If you need a boost find someone that can mentor you.      

Bring the power of your self-esteem to a full bloom.

Very true, Lou. Bolstering someone else's self esteem will also build on your own. Learning to make other people feel good about themselves pays off in so many ways.

Self-esteem is critical in our business.  People want to do business with successful people.  So be confident, but not arrogant!

Best wishes from Clifton Park NY,

Thank you for the beautiful analogy Lou!

It's nice to be reminded that we need to nurture self esteem in ourselves and promote it in others.

Best regards,
