In every class, there will always be that one kid that every teacher and every guidance counselor will be giving most of the attention. And for good reasons. This one special kid might be the outcast - someone who just can't get along with every other kid in the play yard or has struggled in terms of communicating with them. Without the proper guidance towards child development, this kid may really find it hard to make a connection with other people.
There are a lot of factors that can be seen as probable causes of why a person has low self esteem. One is because they haven't been sufficed with the right kind of needs. Parents have to understand that for a child to grow up healthy, they need more than just basic needs. The mere presence of the parents and their availability every time they need guidance can go a long way for a child's development.
Though the development of self empowerment and self confidence can be traced from childhood, it is never too late for anybody to do something about it. In the morning, what is the very first thing that you always do? Do you tell yourself that it's going to be a great day or do you think more about the stress that you are bound to experience? These questions can play a part on how you empower yourself to be the person that you want to be. You start in the morning, and think about what you are to expect. Rather than look at the negatives, try focusing on the positives instead. This way, you'll be able to have something to look forward to. It can be the simple things that you can think about. Going to the office and seeing you the girl you like. Or finishing a certain project that your boss assigned. Or maybe even something as small as you get to eat at your favorite restaurant for another day.
The only reason why you're not confident and empowered to look ahead is because you don't want to. Again, your childhood and earlier teen experiences can be the reason for such, but that doesn't mean that you have to linger on them for the rest of your life! Never underestimate the power of the little things when it comes to self empowerment. With great confidence of one's self, you'll be able to achieve anything you set your mind to.
