The first thing that comes to mind when I hear Age Esteem is enthusiasm.  I’m fascinated by the title.  Age Esteem is natural for me.  It  follows in every ladder or level for me.  If you don’t have enthusiasm for whatever you do, then why do it?  As trite as that sounds.  Do what you love.

Jeannie’s tips:  Be introspective.  Think about what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, if you’re doing it well.  Do you look in the mirror and like what you see?  Not just external, but internal.  It’s all part of being alive and being in the world and glad to be there.  Everyone should serve.  It’s not enough to be good, you need to love what you do and have that service aspect.  Yes, it’s important to be in a position to make someone else happy.
