GREATER SELF ESTEEM
IS YOUR KEY TO A BETTER LIFE.
DR. NATHANIEL BRANDEN'S
SIX PILLARS OF SELF ESTEEM ON-LINE COURSE
SHOWS HOW YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR SELF ESTEEM
-STARTING TODAY.
Let us understand what self esteem is. It has two components: a feeling
of personal competence and a feeling of personal worth. In other words,
self esteem is the sum of self efficacy and self respect. It reflects
your implicit judgment of your ability to cope with the challenges of
your life (to understand and master your problems) and of your right to
be happy (to respect and stand up for your interests and needs).
To have high self esteem is to feel confidently appropriate to life, that is, competent and worthy in the sense just indicated.
To have low self esteem is to feel inappropriate to life; wrong, not about this issue or that, but wrong as a person.
Everyone
has some self esteem and everyone has the ability to grow in self esteem.
The ability to develop a healthy self-efficacy and self-respect is inherent in our natures, since our ability to think is the basic source of our competence, and the fact that we are alive is the basic source of our right to strive for happiness. Ideally, everyone should enjoy a high level of self esteem, experiencing both intellectual self trust and a strong sense that happiness is appropriate. Unfortunately, however, a great many people do not.
In the process of growing up, and in the process of living itself, it is all too easy for us to become alienated from (or never to form) a positive self-concept. We may never reach a joyful vision of ourselves because of negative input from others, or because we have defaulted on our own honesty, integrity, responsibility, and self-assertiveness, or because we have judged our own actions with inadequate understanding and compassion.
However, self esteem is always a matter of degree. Dr. Nathaniel Branden has never known anyone who was entirely lacking in positive self esteem, nor has he known anyone who was incapable of growing in self esteem.
To grow in self esteem is to grow in the conviction that one is competent to live and worthy of happiness, and therefore to face life with greater confidence, benevolence, and optimism, which help us to reach our goals and experience fulfillment. To grow in self esteem is to expand our capacity for happiness.
If we understand this, we can appreciate the fact that all of us have a stake in cultivating our self esteem. It is not necessary to hate ourselves before we can learn to love ourselves more; we do not have to feel inferior in order to want to feel more confident. We do not have to be miserable to want to expand our capacity for joy.
The higher our self esteem, the better equipped we are to cope with life's adversities; the more resilient we are, the more we resist pressure to succumb to despair or defeat.
The higher our self esteem, the more likely we are to be creative in our work, which means the more successful we are likely to be.
The higher our self esteem, the
more ambitious we tend to be, not necessarily in a career or financial
sense, but in terms of what we hope to experience in life emotionally,
creatively, and spiritually.
The higher our self esteem, the
more likely we are to form nourishing rather than destructive relationships,
since like is drawn to like, health is attracted to health, and vitality
and expansiveness are more appealing than emptiness and exploitiveness.
The higher our self esteem, the more inclined we are to treat others with respect, benevolence, and goodwill, since we do not perceive them as threats, do not feel as "strangers and afraid in a world [we] never made" (quoting A. E. Housman's poem), and since self-respect is the foundation of respect for others.
The higher our self esteem, the more joy we experience in the sheer fact of being, of waking up in the morning, of living inside our own bodies.
These are the rewards of self-efficacy and self-respect.
Self esteem, on whatever level, is an intimate experience; it resides in the core of our being. It is what I think and feel about myself, not what someone else thinks or feels about me.
As children our self-efficacy and self-respect can be nurtured or undermined by adults-according to whether we are respected, loved, valued, and encouraged to trust ourselves. But even in our early years our own choices and decisions play a crucial role in the level of self esteem we ultimately develop. We are far from being merely passive receptacles of other people's views of us. And in any case, whatever our upbringing may have been, as adults the matter is in our own hands.
No one else can breathe for us; no one else can think for us, no one else can thrust self-trust and self-love upon us.
I can be loved by my family, my mate, and my friends and yet not love myself. I can be admired by my associates and yet regard myself as worthless. I can project an image of assurance and poise that fools virtually everyone and yet secretly tremble with a sense of my inadequacy.
I can fulfill the expectations of others and yet fail my own; I can win every honor and yet feel I have accomplished nothing; I can be adored by millions and yet wake up each morning with a sickening sense of fraudulence and emptiness.
To attain "success" without attaining positive self esteem is to be condemned to feeling like an impostor anxiously awaiting exposure.
Just as the acclaim of others does not create our self esteem, neither do knowledge, skill, material possessions, marriage, parenthood, charitable endeavors, sexual conquests, or face lifts. These things can sometimes make us feel better about ourselves temporarily, or more comfortable in particular situations; but comfort is not self esteem.
The tragedy is that so many people look for self-efficacy and self-respect everywhere except within themselves, and so they fail in their search.
