A lot of times people think that one can really have too much self-esteem.
I mean, sure, nobody wants to have too little self-esteem – but too much, isn’t that just as bad? Walking around like a self-possessed jerk who thinks he’s on top of the world and better than anyone else?
Well, the truth is: there really is no such thing as too much self-esteem. Self-esteem is something you can not get enough of. Because self-esteem also is about having an accurate self-image.
That means seeing yourself for what you are, with all your potentials, skills, capabilities, but also all your faults and weaknesses.
Most people walk around life and never realize their full potential because of the limiting beliefs they have about themselves.
But what about the guy who walks around thinking he is better than anyone else?
Well, that’s just an example of LOW self-esteem – in fact so low that he has to compensate for it by inflating his ego till no decent person can stand it anymore.
Self esteem means that you have confidence in your ability to face any challenge and problem that life throws at you.
Self esteem means that you truly feel that you deserve happiness and fulfillment.
And self esteem means that you know yourself.
It is true – people can have totally inflated egos, and it’s a real pest. But that’s not self-esteem, even if many people mistakenly think it is.
