    Self-Esteem: What It Is and How You Can Get Some

    People make choices. They have a sense of self or some idea of who they are. The attitude people have about themselves influences the choices they make. We talk about that attitude almost without conscious understanding. But that sense of self motivates our choices. Here's a concept that helps us understand the relationship between self and choice. Self-Esteem is a product of that relationship.

    Self-Esteem: You hear the word and people talk like they know what it means. You might even be one of them.

    But what is it? Self-Esteem:

    1. Something we say people need
    2. Something we say people have or
    3. Something we say people don't have enough of...and
    4. Something we say makes a difference

    So, what exactly is it and how do you get it?

    Self-esteem is not the same thing as self-centered. In fact, self-centered behavior is a signal that a person is in need of self-esteem.

    Here's a link to Self-Esteem: What It Is and How You Can Get Some, a Squidoo Lens I wrote about the concept. There you'll find a description of self-esteem, how it originates, and how you can benefit from understanding self-esteem.
