If any are lacking, their ability to be happy, personally effective, fulfilled, attract abundance and rich relationships and achieve their vision while honouring their most important values may be compromised.
A) Self-Esteem by definition means being competent and able to cope with life's challenges and be happy, fulfilled, and productive.
Those possessing high self-esteem know they have the ability to live deliberately. This also means they can envision an outcome that previously did not exist and intentionally bring about the results they desire - with velocity! This allows those possessing high self-esteem to manifest their dreams and exert a high degree of control over the outcomes of their lives. High self-esteem individuals take responsibility for designing lives in choice. They craft inspiring visions and confidently have the ability manifest these visions on purpose.
B) Soaring self-esteem also means that one has the ability to influence others. That is what constitutes personal power. Those with high self-esteem are charismatic and influential. Others look up to and respect them and so they have the ability to persuasively influence others (with integrity and respect) as they look for opportunities to create win-win relationships.
C) Those with great levels of self-esteem feel significant and accepted by others who consider them worthy of their attention and affection. They belong and help others belong too. They have lots of friends and have earned the trust and respect of their families, friends, colleagues, and peers. Even those who possess opposing viewpoints often respect them for their character, fairness, and appreciation for respecting others and living their life purpose that goes well beyond just a personal or self-centred interest. Love is a core value for these people and they freely share their love with others and receive love back in return.
D) High self-esteem individuals feel that they are worthy of all the good things that life has to offer because they hold themselves as morally good and valuable. They are proud of the things they do and operate in accordance with a strong moral compass that insures that their actions align with their values and life rules. When they make mistakes, they clean them up and do whatever it takes to make them right. They treat others the way the wish to be treated themselves - with respect, love, empathy, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude.
E) Those possessing great self-esteem always possess a respect and appreciation for others. They develop the habit of putting themselves in the other person's world and interact with empathy and compassion. They think win-win-win when it comes to finding solutions to life and business challenges, always searching for solutions that honour the other person, the world in general and themselves.
Note that this is 180 degrees in contrast to those possessing high ego with an overwhelming self-centeredness and concern for themselves no matter what the cost to others. According to my definition of high self-esteem, those egotists who put themselves and their needs and desires above all others do NOT possess high self-esteem. They possess inflated egos. Therefore, those who mistakenly confuse self-esteem with ego, arguing that by championing the self-esteem of our children, we are creating self-centered egomaniacs are mistaken and missing the point entirely. By definition, those with extreme self-esteem are not overly preoccupied with themselves at the expense of others.
It is possible to possess high self-esteem in some of these areas while lacking self-esteem in others. By developing each of the five areas we have the ability to elevate our happiness, personal effectiveness, fulfillment, charisma, and ability to attract all the things we desire as we lead a life of no regrets marked by choice, peace of mind, and empowerment.
