Self-Esteem

Issues around self-esteem are inevitable when we’re attached to, identified, with an image of “self.” When we take ourselves to be “somebody,” we tend to take everything “personally” and that is when our psychological and emotional problems begin—as exemplified in the story above, with the man who questioned Jean. But when we’re free of the personal “self,” our ego (because we have seen that it doesn’t actually exist), then we don’t take ourselves to be anybody. This frees us up to be, to live and to act as the beautiful, happy, creative, and loving people we really are. We are free to share our happiness with others!
