How you see yourself can impact how others see you, too. Respect yourself and others and you can accomplish much in life. Self doubt and worry accomplish little.

Good morning my RP Family. I can not add to the self esteem issue better than what I found in Got Questions, so I will let it speak for me today. Have a blessed day today and always.
Taken from gotquestions.org.
How should a Christian view self-esteem?
Answer: Many define self-esteem as “feelings of worth based on their skills, accomplishments, status, financial resources, or appearance.” This kind of self-esteem can lead a person to feel independent and prideful and to indulge in self-worship, which dulls our desire for God. James 4:6 tells us that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” If we only trust in our earthly resources, we will inevitably be left with a sense of worth based on pride. Jesus told us, “You also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty’” (Luke 17:10).
This does not mean that Christians should have low self-esteem. It only means that our sense of being a good person should not depend on what we do, but rather on who we are in Christ. We need to humble ourselves before Him, and He will honor us. Psalm 16:2 reminds us, “I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’” Christians attain self-worth and esteem by having a right relationship with God. We can know we are valuable because of the high price God paid for us through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.
In one sense, low self-esteem is the opposite of pride. In another sense, low-self-esteem is a form of pride. Some people have low self-esteem because they want people to feel sorry for them, to pay attention to them, to comfort them. Low self-esteem can be a declaration of “look at me” just as much as pride. It simply takes a different route to get to the same destination, that is, self-absorption, self-obsession, and selfishness. Instead, we are to be selfless, to die to self, and to deflect any attention given to us to the great God who created and sustains us.
The Bible tells us that God gave us worth when He purchased us to be His own people (Ephesians 1:14). Because of this, only He is worthy of honor and praise. When we have healthy self-esteem, we will value ourselves enough to not become involved in sin that enslaves us. Instead, we should conduct ourselves with humility, thinking of others as better than ourselves (Philippians 2:3). Romans 12:3 warns, “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”

I pray that you and I have absolute confidence in our relationship with God and that our self-respect and respect for others is steady and true, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in=Christ Linda Lawrence.
I pray dear God that YOU bless each one of us with the fruit of the Spirit peace, joy, goodness and self-control sufficient to be a blessing to each one who we come into contact with.
I lift to YOU the despondent, the clinically depressed, the mentally ill, those suffering from PTSD, TBI, and sexual assault. I pray YOU deliver each from self-recrimination, desires to kill themselves or others, and health issues stemming from their depression and trauma.
I pray dear God that each parent understands the importance of training their children in the love and admonition of the LORD. Lead them to discipline their children firmly in love. I pray that each child of YOUR adopted children is loved and secure both physically and emotionally.
I pray that sex traffickers and child abusers will be convicted by YOU and many will repent from their deplorable actions. I pray for wisdom for the anti-gang task forces and the anti sex-trafficking task forces. Lead them to rescue as many people for the clutches of sex traffickers and gangs. I pray that post trauma counseling will benefit most.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
