(S) Self-Esteem - The Source Of Competence

Discover how high self-esteem fosters competence and confidence, empowering women to make decisive choices and set high standards in life and relationships.

Yes! You Can

Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” Thoughts matter and words matter... the more you believe that you can do something, the more that you will be able to do that thing!

Truthfully, a woman with high self-esteem thinks that she can do it, so she makes great things happen.

When people say, “She is so competent!” Well, in truth, her competence directly comes from her high self-esteem.

Decisions

I’ve met many successful women who are high achievers in love, life and business. They all have something in common – they know how to make decisions. Sometimes those decisions don’t work out the way that they had thought they would, which is absolutely fine, and sometimes they do work out as planned, which is absolutely fine too.

Any decision is better than no decision. Most of the time, this is true because it is suggested to do the Next Right Thing to take action and move in a direction rather than being stagnant. The sooner you take action, the faster you will get feedback, and then you can adjust what you do quickly. That’s a decisive woman with a sense of competence.

You Are Worth It

Because you have high self-esteem, you feel more competent in establishing higher standards…because you are worth it. You can now expect your partner to treat you in a respectful way. You know there is a difference between liking someone and respecting someone. You don’t put up with bad behavior in dating and relationships. Thus, you can attract the right partner and enjoy a meaningful & rewarding relationship that you deserve.

Interestingly, when you have high standards, people around you have to treat you in the right way because that’s the only way you accept. Relationships are dynamic: When you demonstrate a certain attitude / behavior, other people have to demonstrate a certain attitude / behavior towards you too. As a result, it can be seen that you are competent in communicating your standards and holding others to those same standards – this is a good thing.

You are a woman with high self-esteem, who knows how to make decisions and has high standards in attitude/behavior that others notice, respect and admire. Maybe it's difficult for you to believe this about yourself, but the second you begin thinking that it's true, it starts to become true.
