Reflect: What have I learned with this exercise?
If you have low self-esteem you tend not to perceive yourself clearly. Think about the distorted reflection you see when you look in a curved mirror. The image you see magnifies your weaknesses and minimizes your skills. The result is an unpleasant sensation of inferiority.
However, when we look at others we do not usually see them in a curved mirror, we are much more objective because we see both their gifts and their weaknesses.
Think about a situation where something similar happened to you and write explaining how you perceived it and how it really was.
Good self-esteem is the basis of personal success. It is essential to develop a healthy personality. It is a dynamic quality that is acquired and generated throughout our lives and therefore can grow or weaken.
