Self-Esteem
The Top 10 Measures Of High Self-Esteem
 

Self-esteem should not be confused with self-confidence -- self-confidence is believing in your competence, whereas self-esteem is believing in your worthiness. You build self-esteem the old fashioned way, you e-a-r-n it -- through dedication, effort, and sacrifice.

 


Self-esteem and self-confidence are two completely different things.


When you have developed it, your reward is to feel whole and satisfied. You show your gratitude not only by giving generously back to the world, but by being gracious in victory and graceful in defeat. Self-esteem is crucial to how much or how little contentment you feel at the end of your life.

1. How much you do to raise and DON'T do to lower the self-esteem of others.

2. How long you sustain an effort outside of your comfort zone to help the common good.

3. How full an effort you give to a fair decision that you disagree with.

4. How easily you ask for help or assistance.

5. How quickly and sincerely you thank someone who has helped you.

6. How quickly you offer help without the other person having to ask for it.

7. How fully you forgive and forget after you've been hurt and how quickly you move on.

8. How quickly you recognize and earnestly you apologize for your failures of commission or omission.

9. How enthusiastically you congratulate someone else on an achievement or good fortune.

10. How much more you give to the world than you take from it.
