The Importance of Trajectory and Self-Esteem in Personal Growth
Trajectory is more crucial than current position in personal development, as demonstrated by the contrast between someone moving up in ranking versus someone declining, highlighting the human instinct to avoid losses due to evolutionary pressures. Self-esteem emerges as a fundamental driver of personal growth. Individuals lacking self-esteem often struggle with self-acceptance, complicating their social interactions and challenges in the external world. Self-esteem issues may stem from various factors such as genetic influences or a lack of unconditional love during childhood. Building self-esteem revolves around living in accordance with one's moral code and making personal sacrifices for loved ones. Such actions not only foster self-respect but also contribute to an internal sense of love and fulfillment. Consequently, expressing love through duty and sacrifice can significantly enhance self-esteem, supporting personal growth and resilience.
