Rule on Self Esteem

In my house we have one rule. You don’t get to feel good about yourself unless you’ve earned it! The only way any one – in my opinion – is allowed to like who they are and what they are doing, is to actually be doing something to make themselves proud. If you can pick up after yourself and keep yourself clean, then you can feel good about how you look and the status of your room. If you can’t do something, but tired your best, then you can feel good about your effort. I really don’t see how or why people need to feel good about themselves unless there is a tangible reason for it.
