Single  adults discover that no single event or person shaped self-esteem and self-worth. Singles find self-esteem and self-worth within themselves. No one is perfect but self-worth for an adult comes from within.

Singles know as adults that the only thing you can do to change your feeling of self-worth is to change what is in your mind!

Self-Esteem Is Within.
By SOLO Staff

Were your parents, teachers, coaches, friends, siblings, and other people around you, perfect  when you were growing up?

Of course not.

This means you and every other person in the world grew up around people who were imperfect, albeit some more imperfect than others.

Now you are an adult.

There is nothing  you can do can change that or the way you grew up. Even  if you could change past times or another person, that would  not change the way you feel about yourself.

The only thing you can do to change your feeling of self-worth is to change what is in your mind!

Single   adults discover that no single event or person shaped self-esteem and self-worth.

The truth is that after three jobs, two divorces, multiple margaritas,  two babies,  etc., etc., people  still find themselves feeling  the  same self-worth. The high points of  life give  a momentary lift. Then its back to life as usual.

There is only one area where you have power and that is YOU!  You can  choose  to use that power to change your feelings  of  self-worth by  changing:

• The way you perceive things.
• The way you act.

If  you  believe that you are worthwhile and valuable,  then  the approval you  seek  comes from within, from you,  and  not  from others. You learn to trust you.

Often you have low self-esteem because you continue to listen  to critical  voices from the past. But positive, new thoughts  can replace negative thoughts, giving you a more positive picture  of you.

Two perspectives create your self-esteem:

• Your history.
• The way you view that history.

Your history is how, where and with whom you grew up. This history colors your thought patterns, feelings, attitudes, and values.

If you gave yourself a bad rating as a child, that rating affected everything you did. It can still affect you and your relationships,  even today.

No single event or person shaped your self-esteem. In addition, your perception of your history determines the way you see yourself today.
