I think you share two great definitions of these terms “humble” and “low self esteem” here. In addition to what Jennifer said in her comment, I suppose when someone feels good about themselves they do not have anything to prove to others, and therefore, they become “humble”. It should be all of our goals to find balance in ourselves and our lives. Understanding our limitations and faults and being realistic about what we have to offer and can truly accomplish, while at the same time, learning how to overcome our imperfections and use them for the positive is key. However, it’s always important to know that sometimes what some people think are imperfections either in themselves or in others, are actually not inadequacies at all. It’s all the way we look at them and perceive them!! Thank you so much for your comment. All my best, Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Devin,

I define being humble as not thinking more highly of your self that you should. Low self-esteem is thinking less of yourself than you should. Like Jennifer commented above (#9), humble people seem to have high self-esteem, my guess is because a humble person has a balanced and realistic view of self. Another great post, Dr. KC!

To really delve into issues and find out from where they are coming so that you can change things versus “fix” things as you say, is the key. We need to learn and understand the negative patterns of behavior and the negative self talk we often practice that can be detrimental to us and change them around to be healthy and positive. We all have “faults” or issues and that isn’t a bad thing. They are what make us who we are. Our “faults” and “issues” can also be very subjective. What may seem like a “fault” to you may not to someone else. They may even like what you consider a “fault”. But what is of main importance is that we love our own faults if they are not able to be changed and if they are, we must not look for that “quick fix,” but instead do some introspective work to learn to make changes for the better. Thank you so much for your comment. Please keep reading and posting. All my best, Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Meaghan,

Reciting positive affirmations every single day is so incredibly important to our inner self condifence and worth. The more we tell ourselves positive things, the more we will believe them.

I think often times people seek therapists to fix them and have a quick answer. It sounds like this man really learned from and understood his sessions and what he gained from them will remain with him forever! We should all be so smart as to understand that we must love ourselves, even though we all have many faults!! xoxo Meaghan Sounds like a very smart man!
