THE AUTOMATIC FAILURE MECHANISM
Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your handbrake on.
~ Dr Maxwell Maltz
As we go through life, we acquire some bits of information that we assume to be true; information about ourselves, about the world and about everyone in it. Because we assume this information is a true reflection of reality, we don’t question its validity. After all, what’s the point in that if it is the way things are?
Some of this information is very helpful to us. It helps us function in our world and helps us feel positively about things. It leads to us feeling like we are doing well.
Some of this information is very unhelpful to us. It stops us from functioning fully in our world and consequently leads to us feeling like we are not doing well.
