Is High Self-Esteem Feeling Competent or Feeling Worthwhile

What is high self-esteem? Is it the feeling of personal competence or the feeling of personal worth? Or is it both? I say both.
Self-Esteem = Competence AND Worth
What is high self-esteem? Is it the feeling of personal competence or the feeling of personal worth? Or is it both? I say both.
Ask yourself the following questions to determine the areas where you may need to examine your level of self-esteem:
- Am I able to earn my living doing what I enjoy?
- Do I know how to give and receive love?
- Do I have wonderful friends?
- Do I take good care of myself physically?
- Do I earn an income that is appropriate for me?
Even if answer positively for four out of the five of your answers, one area of your life that isn’t working the way you’d like it to is enough to throw your life out of balance. Be honest with yourself. Do something for yourself. Think about hiring a life coach and focus in particular on the area you need a boost on.
