This is a self-esteem blog that I have found, it talks about how the writer of the blog  thought he was a great person because everyone liked him and was nice to him, but he always had this doubt in him. This man had a best friend that he wanted to ask out because he liked her so much but he could never find the words to say it. After a night of spending time with her he found out that's when his self-esteem was low. He just thought it was because he was a nice guy and put every one's needs ahead of his own. 

This blog makes me feel sad because they man didn't know he had low self-esteem until a night that changed him for the rest of his life. After that night he went and looked up people with self-esteem issues and how they over came it for more than three years. This man had no idea he suffered from low self-esteem. This man has out together a 7 step program for himself to over come low self-esteem. Step (1.) Create your identity and seek your purpose in life. (2.) Own your fear and seek to embrace it. (3.)
Build and maintain inner motivation. (4.) Live with integrity at all times, hide nothing. (5.) Create your status and remove the need for approval from others. (6.) Seek feedback and develop genuine curiosity in others. (7.)Test and improve for life. 

After this man followed all these steps he didn't feel like he had low self-esteem anymore. He was more comfortable to do things for the first time. He use to envy others and there confidence to be able to do things that he was to scared to do but now he he doesn't wish to swap lives with anyone. He is pleased with what he did and wouldnt take any part of it back. 

My self-esteem before reading this article or blog was low. I'm a very shy person around people I don't know but I'm also very protective of people I care about so others would call me some what of a brat. But when it comes to trying new things I'm shy and dont want to do it, I'm slow at doing things im not comfortable with. But after reading this blog it made me understand that if I don't try new things I'm not going to be comfortable in trying anything new. I might grow old all alone without accomplishing anything that I've never done. 

After reading this blog and seeing the things this man went trough and seeing all the steps he took to get to where he is now. It makes me want to try and accomplish those steps and see where it takes me in my future. Low self-esteem gets me down a lot and after reading this blog it makes me want to try something new and something that's not what I'm use to.
