Self Esteem and Success

Maria Duval explains that self esteem is an area where many people are the unfortunate victims of wrong beliefs that will have negative and even dramatic impact on their lifestyle. For example, some people wrongly think that they have to earn their living, and that they have to work hard.

The question is, why is it that we need to earn what we already have - the divine goft of life?

All spiritual traditions are united on this point: Humans are created in the image of God. Life is a marvellous and sacred gift. Basically, all living things are worthy of life and deserve to be happy. Thus there is no need for you to prove your worth to earn the right to live.

Religious dogma has never been compatible with money. This is rather hypocritical. It is a known fact that churches have substantial amount of money off the back of devotees and pilgrims. Religions therefore entertain the belief that money is not divine and that you need to get rid of it to earn your place in heaven.

In fact, there is this famous phrase in Bible which states that "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven".

Hence, many peoeple who are unaware of their divine nature, have deloped a negative self image, one based in insecurity and self confidence. This void of self-esteem they secretly suffer from leads them subsconsciously to come up with thoughts like "I don't have the right to live" and etc.

Maria Duval adds that low self esteem will make your chances of success very remote as lack of self esteem means lack of money. When the shortage of money comes, you will have little faith in yourself.

That's why it is important to have a positive self image if you want to live in a prosperous manner
