Self-esteem and Women

Isaiah McLean www.unsplash.com Self-esteem is the degree to which one feels confident, valuable, and worthy of respect. A person with self-esteem sees herself as competent to experience the challenges of life and as worthy of happiness (Nathaniel Branden). A woman’s self-esteem can be affected by her upbringing, the culture that she grew up in and her self-talk.

Another reason why it is important to pursue your purpose is that you spend most of your waking hours at work and it is better for you if you work at something that you love to do and it positively impacts other people's lives. A third reason why it is important to pursue your purpose is; you will see the impact of the work that you do, for example, one bricklayer may say that he is laying bricks while
