"If you're a giver, always looking out for others, always feeling drained because you break yourself so others can stay together, take a break from it. Add value to your own life first. Add self-love and peace to your life first."

Healing Low Self Esteem

The Buddhist teachings are adamant that the core of our being is fundamentally good. It is our negative emotions and misunderstandings that oppress us and lead to low self-esteem, insecurity and feeling unloved. Join us to investigate how we can begin to heal ourselves by acknowledging and connecting with the fundamental goodness and unconditional love that we all have within us, which we call our buddha nature.

"After receiving feedback, individuals who learn that they have ranked better than expected decrease their output but expect an even better rank in the future, while those who were told they ranked worse than expected increase their output and at the same time lower their rank expectations going forward. These effects are stronger in earlier rounds of the task, while subjects learn how they compare to their peers."

A quotation from Chamfort, Nicolas:

«
Esteem is worth more than celebrity, respect is worth more than renown, and honor is worth more than fame.

[L’estime vaut mieux que la célébrité, la considération vaut mieux que la renommée, et l’honneur vaut mieux que la gloire.]
»
