Everyone is keen on "self esteem" these days . . . I say if you want to build self esteem-- try self reliance.  Self reliance can lead to:

• Personal satisfaction
• Pride and a sense of accomplishment
• A "Can-Do" attitude

People can learn to do anything.  As a person moves toward a more self reliant and self sufficient lifestyle, they become empowered, Self Reliance is About Power . . ., but there are other benefits to be had as well.

Learning new skills, techniques, and approaches makes people feel good about themselves-- they are growing and improving.  Personal satisfaction rises and brings many aspects of happiness-- physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Successes big or small can elevate pride.  There is nothing like a job well done.  For example, the sense of accomplishment from a successful yield in the garden can be seen a person's face.

Finally, as we learn, we start to get a level of competency that allows you to innovate.  You feel empowered and start to believe you can do bigger and better.  I think of learning to cook-- eventually, you won't need set recipes . . .

Bottomline "Take-Away":  You can raise your self esteem through actively pursuing a more self reliant lifestyle.  Begin today-- you can do it.
