10 Benefits of Having High Self Esteem

1. You are more resilient to life’s difficulties because you are less likely to give in to despair or defeat.
2. You are more confident in your abilities, so you are more willing to risk being creative. Higher creativity leads to more success and higher pay.
3. You are more ambitious in all areas of life because you believe you can achieve your goals.
4. You will enjoy more nurturing and supportive relationships. We usually hang out with people who are like us. If you are confident in yourself, you will also attract confident, healthy, successful people into your life.
5. You will treat others with more respect and love because you do not perceive them as threats that could hurt you. When you treat others with respect, they will treat you in the same manner.
6. You will feel better in general. You will wake up feeling confident and expectant of good things for the new day.
7. You will worry less since you are confident in your ability to deal with adversity. This will allow you to use your time and energy for constructive purposes instead.
8. Fortune favors the bold. When you feel confident in yourself, you are willing to take more risks because you know that you can deal with whatever comes your way. People who are willing to take more risks end up being more successful in life.
9. You will enjoy a fuller social life. When you feel good about yourself, you don’t hesitate to talk to new people. Each new person you talk to is a potential new friend, business partner, customer, or romantic interest.
10. You will be better at using criticism to improve yourself. Because your self-image is strong, being criticized is no longer an emotionally crippling event. You can objectively listen to the criticism and decide if there is any truth to it or not. If there is, you can use that truth to improve yourself.
