2026/10/03

Dear Selfless Esteem, I'm in my 60s with a wonderful wife, a fulfilling career, and more than enough to live comfortably. Yet when I learn someone else has more money or greater success, I feel envious. I recently learned that a colleague earns 3 times my salary! I know comparison steals joy, but I can't seem to stop. How do I become genuinely content and happy for others instead of looking over the fence? Signed, Always Looking Over the Fence Tune in for the answer. If you're interested in online

Dear Selfless Esteem, I've been getting noticed as a baseball player by coaches and scouts, which is what I've always wanted. But it's also a bad thing because lately I've been playing terrible and of course I don't want them to see that.

Dear Selfless Esteem, I will be graduating from high school this year. My parents expect me to start college right away, but I am having doubts about that.

Wise Counsel and Good Therapy

Selfless Esteem ·

2026/04/20

Dear Selfless Esteem, Lately I've been disgruntled seeing therapists put on pedestals when they've given unwise guidance. I believe the Bible is the Ultimate Truth & authority over any degree. I have gone to Christian therapists, who have guided me against what the Bible says. I have friends who think the degree gives therapists the ultimate source of wisdom with life and relationships. I see them as humans who come with their own life experiences and perspectives as well. How does one decipher wise

Dear Selfless Esteem, My 2.5-year-old daughter prefers her dad / my husband over me. I thought it was just a phase, but it's been this way for over a year.

Dear Selfless Esteem, My husband is a spender and I'm a saver. When we were dating, he treated me to expensive restaurants and the best seats at concerts and sports events.

Now that it's finally paid off, he's been looking online at boats for sale but I think that's such a frivolous expense. How can I help him understand that we need to save for retirement?

Dear Selfless Esteem, My sister is loved so much but doesn't seem to see it. She had a fight (over records of wrongs) with a family member a few years ago.
