The Roots of Self - Esteem are Internal "Self - esteem is rooted internally - in mental operations - rather than in external successes or failures. This is an essential point to understand. The failure to understand this principle causes an incalculable amount of unnecessary anguish and self doubt. If we judge ourselves by criteria that entail factors outside our volitional control, the result, unavoidably, is a precarious self - esteem that is chronic jeopardy. But our self - esteem need not be affected or impaired if, in spite of our best efforts, we fail in a particular undertaking, even though we will not experience the same emotions of pride that we would have felt if we had succeeded. Further, we need to remember that the self is not a static, finished entity, but a continually evolving creating, an unfolding of our potentialities, expressed in our choices, decisions, thoughts, judgments, responses, and actions. To view ourselves as basically and unalterably good or bad - independent of our present and future manner of functioning - is to negate the facts of freedom, self - determination, and self - responsibility. We always contain within ourselves the possibility of change . We need never be prisoner of yesterday' s choices." Nathaniel Branden, Ph.D. "When your attention is in the past or the future, you are in the field of time, creating aging. One Indian master who seemed remarkably young for his age, explained this by saying: 'Most people spend their lives either in the past or in the future, but my life is supremely concentrated in the present.' When a life is concentrated in the present, it is most real, because the past and future are not impining on it. At this instant, where are the past and future? Nowhere. Only the present moment exists; past and future are mental projections. If you can free yoursef of these projections, trying neither to relieve the past nor to control the future, a space is open for a completely new experience – the experience of ageless body and timeless mind." Deepak Chopra "Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don’t want to be where you are. Here, now." Eckhart Tolle "What is this big secret? Is it the answer to all of our deepest desires? Do you desire personal wealth, health, and happiness? Is there a burning question in your soul? What does it all mean?
