Feeling depressed. Crying uncontrolla!

hie............ Dear, The words Self-esteem or confidence are highly misinterpreted words. In our day-to-day life we have been conditioned to give value to them. But wouldn't it be beautiful to know the real meaning of what we have been taught to consider so valuable? Here are some excerpts from an amazing blog that will help you understand what really is confidence and self-esteem:- Self-esteem: ‘Esteem’ comes from the same root from where ‘Estimation’ comes. Do you understand ‘Estimation’? You estimate something when you do not know it fully. ‘Estimation’ is ‘approximate’. ‘To estimate something’ is to know its limits and hence determine its size in a rough crude way. To esteem something is to limit it; to esteem something is to estimate it. To say that ‘this has this much of size and no more’. ‘Self-estimation’ is hence self-image and that too a vague, hazy image. ‘Self-esteem’ is a self-image, an image that you have about yourself. The thing about this image, this estimation, this esteem is that it is static and has come from others. I think that I am strong and intelligent because somebody has told this to me. Everybody says ‘I am beautiful’, so I am beautiful. My self-esteem takes a particular shape, which is an image given by others. Source:- https://in.pinterest.com/prashan... You need to estimate only when you do not know, only when you do not know then you depend on others. Estimation is not needed when you really know, when it is directly available. Source :- http://prashantadvait.com/2013/1... Self- Confidence: What is confidence? On a normal day at home, do you require confidence to speak to your parents, to other family members? No, you don’t. So, you don’t require confidence at home or when you are speaking to your friends. But you surely require confidence when you are speaking to an interviewer. Then you say, ‘I require confidence’. Why do you require confidence in an interview room, and why do you not require confidence at home? You require confidence when you are afraid. The one who is not afraid, does not require confidence. Source :- https://in.pinterest.com/prashan... The more you appear confident, the more afraid you are. Do not ask for confidence, ask for simplicity. Simplicity, not confidence. Simplicity is: ‘I am what I am’. What is confidence? An indication of fear. You remain as you are, then you would not need any confidence. Do not ask for confidence. Understand this fear. This fear arises because we are constantly looking at others. Source:- Quotes ~ Shri Prashant So, what is better, to ask for confidence, or to get rid of the fear? I have always known myself through others. If others applaud for me, then I consider myself to be brilliant. If others criticize me, then I consider myself to be bad. This is the reason of our fear. At the root of confidence lies the fear of others, fear of external factors. And all this happens because you do not know yourself. You know yourself only as an image in the eyes of others. What is important, to know ourselves in the eyes of others, or to have eyes of our own? Then why should we know ourselves through others? Do not try to ‘look’ confident. The more you ask for confidence, the more it indicates that you are afraid. Remain simple! Just remain as you are. Do not try to become something, then everything will be alright. You will feel light. You will get rid of a lot of burden. To understand and seek clarity, this blog has been an amazing friend and teacher to me.
