Overcoming Low Self-Esteem: Take Charge Of Your Life

My few years of being with students has taught me a lot in life. I have gotten to know who I am and what I can do to help people become responsible in life. At least I wake up every morning with great responsibility of helping make other people's lives better. I have a purpose to fulfil every day and I set goals to meet about three or more schools in a day. I have never considered myself "a good for nothing" person because I have many things to do every day to touch the lives of many. People have mostly lived their lives without purpose. They wake up every day with nothing to do. They have nothing to live for. They have nothing to regulate their lives and are making no progress. When you ask them what they want to do the next day or within a calendar year, they will have nothing to tell you because they don't know. And the Bible said, without vision, people perish. People see themselves as "nothing" because they don't know who they are, why they are living, and what they are living for. They can go through a whole year without having at least one thing they want to achieve. Life has the characteristic of progress when vision is the fuel. A purposeful life is a focused life. The discovery of your purpose creates a vision which motivates a plan of action to 17 meet specific goals. Purpose creates vision and vision permits the development of a plan and a plan allows for an orderly life. Purpose helps you set goals that attract certain kinds of people into your life - the people who appreciate and value you for who you are and believe in what you can do. When you don't have vision for your life, you take friends without vision who live average lives. Vision is the steps taken toward the purpose you discover. It is what you put in place to realize the purpose God has given you. It is the ability to see ahead. The primary value of purpose is putting to work the vision you got through it. The significance of vision is that it stops you from living a disorderly life. It stops you from looking down on yourself because you always have something to do that develops and shapes you that brings out the best in you and get you closer to your destination in life. There are others who are desperate to belong to a certain group. They think doing that will give them a voice. They can be bullied and pushed around but they want to stick to that group. They have absolutely lost their sense of value. They can become errand boys in the group just because they want the opportunity to stay with the group to have a sense of belonging. Others look at themselves as inferior because they think they don't have the kind of education others have. They think they have lost everything because they don't have the degrees others have. Sometimes they think they don't even have a chance in life. All that comes to their minds is to be subjects to the so-called elites. They think they are disadvantaged in life and they can do nothing by themselves to make their lives better except to depend on others. Others also believe that the strength to bully others will give them confidence in life. They
