After her first visit to the United States, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, India remarked that never in her life had she seen a nation so rich in material wealth, but so poverty stricken in self worth. She accurately perceived us to be an entire country comprised of people that wrestle with poor, unhealthy, damaged self esteem.
She said, “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of loneliness, feeling unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the most terrible poverty. Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, and needing to feel wanted.”
Psychologist Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams states, “Low self-esteem has been linked to violent behavior, school dropout rates, teenage pregnancy, suicide, and low academic achievement.”
The World Health Organization states that more deaths are caused by suicide tied to low self-esteem than homicide, murder or war. Average totals are 800,000 per year. That is absolutely heart breaking.
It is a fact that we rarely rise above the self-image we have of ourselves. People with broken or damaged self-esteem gravitate towards negative friendships, abusive relationships and various forms of abuse such as cutting, bullying, domestic violence, alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. People with strong and resilient self-esteem gravitate towards positive goal oriented friends, relationships that are healthy and fulfilling, and past times that are rewarding and beneficial to the body, spirit and mind. Truly, our self-esteem and self-image are the rudders that determine where we go in life. We rarely rise above the self-image that we carry deep within. It can be address and remedied.
Many people are lacking the self-confidence they so strongly desire and covet, but they are hampered by a never ending stream of negative thoughts about themselves that continually flows through their minds. Often times we carry with us scars of an abusive childhood that damaged our self esteem on into our adult years. I have met many people in their 40s and 50s who are still carrying with them the damaged self-image thrust upon them as children by an emotionally abusive mother or father, or by bullies in their neighborhood or school who cruelly taunted and tormented them without mercy.
In looking to capture the perfect metaphor to visualize the tremendous impact that self-esteem has in determining our destiny, consider a big oil supertanker with an overall length of 1500 feet (five football fields). The Empire State Building could fit inside. These huge vessels can carry 260,000 tons of oil and travel all over the world. The rudder for these massive ships is generally only 2% of the overall length of the vessel.
A supertanker of this size might have a rudder that is only 30 feet wide (1/3 of a football field). Yet that relatively small rudder controls the direction of that massive ship.
The same with our self-esteem. Often ignored, overlooked, and neglected by schools, churches, athletic teams, families and society as a whole, and much more frequently the target of attack by bullies and thugs who zero in one the damaged and deflated self-esteem of their victim and pulverize whatever self-esteem they are managing to get by with.
While malnourished and ignored, the self-esteem of the individual is the key component to everything they do for the entire lives. The self-esteem literally determines performance level, investment of energy, the setting and achieving of worthy goals. It determines how you choose to invest your time, what you prioritize and who you spend your time with. It determines if you quit too early or if you stick it out and fight through obstacles over the long haul.
