There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world.
Contrary to what you may think, an immoral act of any kind will only lower your self-esteem. Be true to yourselves, and your respect for yourself will increase.

Walk with that dignity which is becoming a young woman who is a daughter of God.

Healthy self esteem is paying attention to how others make us feel, and then choosing those with whom we spend time.
Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like. I promise.
Doubt is a virus that attacks our self-esteem, productivity and confidence. Faith that you and your life are perfectly unfolding is the strongest vaccine.
Is there anything more attractive than a woman in high heels and low self esteem?
If you feel inadequate to face challenges, unworthy of love or respect, untitled to happiness, and fear assertive thought, wants, or needs- if you lack basic self trust, self-respect, and self-confidence- your self-esteem deficiency will limit you, no matter what other assets you possess.
