Thank you for this post! I'm happy I came across this because I believe lack of self confidence and self esteem is one of the most causes of failure to achieve one's goals or aspirations. Yes, it's easier to educate healthy children than repair broken adults, however, I think there's still room for adults to boost their confidence and develop more love for themselves. In addition to the healthy tips you provided, it's important to read books on self discipline, because I think it's a vital tool in gaining these other values back. Happy reading!
