Self-esteem
Four precepts of high self-esteem.
1. People who have high self-esteem operate out of a sense of reality rather than fantasy. They accept their places within this reality and are keenly aware not only of their external situations but also of their internal feelings and knowledge.
2. People who operate with high self-esteem know how to alter their reality favorably through goals and purposes for their lives. They are able to set goals that are realistic and establish plans and strategies whereby the goals can be achieved.
3. People with high regard for themselves are able to set themselves apart from others. They are willing to stand up for themselves. They establish boundaries so that others do not infringe on their time, resources, energy, and physical being without express consent. This does not mean that they are cold and standoffish. They see themselves as integrally connected to but still separate from others.
4. People who appreciate themselves live their lives with integrity. Their ideals and their behaviors reflect each other. Their lives are integrated; their goals, their reality, their ideals, their behaviors, all operate out of a sense of self-knowledge. They strive for high standards.
