Self-esteem is the combination of self-confidence and self-respect
the conviction that you are competent to cope with lifes challenges
and are worthy of happiness.
Self-esteem is the way you talk to yourself about yourself.
Self-esteem has two interrelated aspects;
it entails a sense of personal efficacy and a sense of personal worth.
It is the integrated sum of self-confidence and self-respect.
It is the conviction that one is competent to live and worthy of living.
Our self-esteem and self-image are developed by how we talk to ourselves.
All of us have conscious and unconscious memories of all the times we felt bad or wrong
they are part of the unavoidable scars of childhood.
This is where the critical voice gets started.
People with low self-esteem simply have a more vicious and demeaning inner voice.
Psychologists say that almost every aspect of our lives
our personal happiness, success, relationships with others, achievement, creativity, dependencies
are dependent on our level of self-esteem.
The more we have, the better we deal with things.
Positive self-esteem is important because when people experience it,
they feel good and look good, they are effective and productive,
and they respond to other people and themselves in healthy, positive, growing ways.
People who have positive self-esteem know that they are lovable and capable,
and they care about themselves and other people.
They do not have to build themselves up by tearing other people down
or by patronizing less competent people.
Our background largely determines what we will become in personality
and more importantly in self-esteem.
Where do feelings of worthlessness come from?
Many come from our families,
since more than 80% of our waking hours up to the age of eighteen
are spent under their direct influence.
We are who we are because of where weve been.
We build our own brands of self-esteem from four ingredients:
fate, the positive things life offers, the negative things life offers
and our own decisions about how to respond to fate, the positives and the negatives.
Neither fate nor decisions can be determined by other people in our own life.
No one can change fate.
We can control our thinking and therefore our decisions in life.
