Grow through adversity and what we can learn from lobsters. I was inspired by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, MD (A lifelong Process Growing up) when writing this text.

What creates self-esteem?
premium
How can we not be aware of the wealth we possess? How can we fail to see our talent? Too many questions, I know.

How to step out of underestimating yourself Take a moment today and ask yourself: Do you live with the belief that you are never enough, you will never measure up, you want more in every area, and there is always something to do to improve? If the answer is yes, your existence will turn into a […]
