A few words about me and my contact information

Hello and welcome to selfesteem-building.com!

My name is Michelle and I would like to share some personal history with you. Why? Because I feel completely compelled to help others who suffer from low self esteem and I want you to know why.

How it all began...

I lived with my mother, father and 3 sisters in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. For the most part we were pretty normal. Except for the fact that my parents were alcoholics. They drank pretty much every weekend and sometimes it carried over into Monday.

Anyways, my dad worked in the woods and my mom stayed home with us until my youngest sister started school. After that she went to work for a local restaurant as a cook. So we never had a lot of money.

We lived in a trailer and I can remember very clearly being embarrassed about it and not wanting any of my friends to come to my house. God forbid they see where I lived.

But as time went on and I could no longer keep them from coming to my house the day had finally arrived that I had a friend come home with me.

I was so nervous of what they would think of me after they seen where I lived that I could hardly handle the 30 minute bus ride from school to my house.

It about killed me! This all happened before I was even in high school.

Then came high school...

And you know I wanted to fit in, right? I didn't want to be the outcast. I wanted to know that others thought I was cool enough to hang around.

So I did a lot of things we don't even want to talk about. Sure I had friends but they surely never helped me build my self esteem. But I will tell you that I wasn’t enjoying myself or my life and I wasn't having any real fun. But I kept at it for the next 5 years.

I allowed myself to be used to fit in. I allowed myself to pretend like it didn't matter how I was being treated as long as I was liked.

Then a change was made...

At the age of 21 I hit rock bottom. I was fed up with life and the way that I was living. I had to change. I honestly had nowhere to go but up. I had finally hit my lowest point.

I came across this cassette tape program at a local Good Will store. It was The Psychology of Achievement by Brian Tracy and it changed my life.

It pushed me down the path of self discovery. It made me believe that I could be somebody. That I could live an outstanding life.

I made me realized that I was suffering from low self esteem. It’s amazing what awareness will do for you.

Once I understood what was going on inside of me it made it easier to change. Not easy, but easier.

And my personal development began...

It made me think for just a split second that even I could feel good about myself. Even after everything I’d done the last 10 years. I was still capable of accomplishing great things in my life and maybe, just maybe, I was capable of being loved.

I know everyone says it but I have to say it here. Are you ready?

Yes if I can do it so can you. I built my self esteem from the ground up. I changed the way I thought about myself. I began to love and accept myself for who I was. It no longer matter what others thought of me.

I went to work on myself and found out who I was and more importantly I found out who I was not.

And I was not the shy little girl with her head hanging low, doing whatever she could to make people love and accept her. I finally realized I was looking in the wrong places for love and acceptance. I was looking outside of myself. A place that could never give me what I was truly seeking.

And that’s why I created this site. I want to help others who suffer from low self esteem. All of you who are looking in the wrong places for the love and acceptance you need to survive and thrive in this world. You'll never find it if you continue to look in the wrong places.

Let me be your guide to self esteem building. Let me show you what I did to create a life of love, happiness, abundance, fulfillment, honesty and joy.

It can be done and I am living proof!

And let me tell you it’s a lot less painful and a lot less complicated then you might think. And a lot more fun and rewarding, I can promise you that.

I believe with all my heart that low self esteem is the underlining issue for most personal problems.

Let me guide you inward to a place that is always there, always loving and always accepting regardless of what's going on in your life. Let me help you build a relationship with yourself so that you too can enjoy a life of pleasure and joyfulness.

It can happen! If you follow me and my advice I can almost guarantee it :)
