8. The Impact Of Self-Esteem On Your Reality
Self-esteem is the primary mindset that governs your life. Self-esteem is how you esteem or evaluate yourself. Self-esteem has two major components – your estimation of your capabilities and your assessment of your worthiness to receive happiness. Since self-esteem is based upon your judgment of your capabilities and your worthiness, your actual abilities and worth may be totally different from your opinion of the two. An arrogant, narcissistic individual will have an inflated self-esteem; an individual who has contempt for himself will have a diminished self-esteem. A balanced, ideal self-esteem includes high self-confidence, high self-worth, but a reasonable assessment of one’s competences.
