“Self-esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life, and as being worthy of happiness. Thus, it consists of two components: (1) self-efficacy – confidence in one’s ability to think, learn, choose, and make appropriate decisions; and (2) self-respect – confidence that love, friendship, achievement, success – in a word, happiness – are natural and appropriate.”
I found the above quote from Dr. Nathaniel Branden in Michael Port’s book Steal the Show, which I highly recommend for anyone who has a message that they would like to convey.
