Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.

Self-esteem is a powerful force within each of us... Self-esteem is the experience that we are appropriate to life and to the requirements of life.

Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable.

Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem, and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence - and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life.

Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable. Lovable means I feel people want to be with me. They invite me to parties; they affirm I have the qualities necessary to be included. Feeling capable is knowing that I can produce a result. It's knowing I can handle anything that life hands me.

Real self-esteem has to be earned. I also believe in virtuous circles, like, nothing is fun until you are good at it. It is great if you can instill in children the ability to not give up, to have a work ethic.

To me, self-esteem is not self-love. It is self-acknowledgment, as in recognizing and accepting who you are.

Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.

Well, we all know that self-esteem comes from what you think of you, not what other people think of you.

Self-esteem is the greatest sickness known to man or woman because it's conditional.
