Lack Self Confidence, and Have a Low Selfesteem?

Q. Why is it that we lack self confidence, and have a low selfesteem? How is it possible to have confidence in ourselves,and to not have a big ego?

Sri Sri: Lack of confidence and low self esteem happen when you regularly do not fulfill commitments that you have made to yourself and others... When you are ruled more by your feelings. So simply seeing to it that you do what you said you would do, will bring a tremendous boost in your confidence levels and your self esteem! Then other people’s comments will not bother you, or even if they do, not for any considerable time.There is a vast difference between a person who has confidence and self esteem and someone who simply has abig ego... An ego is that which separates, a confident person will be able to win people over and take everyone with him... In fact, usually an egotistical person is a person who has almost no confidence or self esteem and tries to cover that up with being arrogant!

Do your Sadhana, Seva and Satsang and come on a few Advcourses a year and you will find that you start to become what you want to become a confident, wonderful human being!
