There exists the idea that within each of us exists a kind of idealized image which we aspire towards. We get feedback from those around us regarding the direction we are headed, if we are getting closer to that goal. The idea of Self-Esteem is thought to be related to how closely reflected reality comes to the inner self-concept we aspire towards. The closer we get to that ideal, the better we tend to feel about ourselves.
So what if we were to highlight all the instances that are in line with the inner aspiration, reflecting back those times that reflect getting closer to the inner goals? Can it serve as medicine for those who suffer because they so badly want to get closer to the inner ideal they seek? Each instance can serve as a reference point, building and strengthening belief that we are indeed inching closer to the elixir of our inner aspirations.... helping to alleviate the perceived aspirational-inner-loneliness that happens when we feel separated from our ideal Self, uniting the outer with the inner.
