Episode 743 – Is Confidence the Same as Self-Esteem?
#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #selfmastery

Last week I read a really good book on leadership titled, The High Achiever’s Guide to Happiness by Vance & Carol Ann Caesar. In it they describe how high achievers find happiness. One thing I especially liked was how they describe the difference between confidence and self-esteem. 

I may not be confident in running a business, however my self-esteem as a leader is high.

What I want you to think about is your overall self-esteem. The definition of self-esteem is confidence in one’s own worth or abilities, self-respect.

Remember that this episode is about the difference of confidence and self-esteem. Yet, self-esteem is being confident in you. You can be confident in you and not confident in other specific areas of your life. The point is to be confident in the specific person of you.

How do you feel about yourself? Tomorrow we are going to talk about establishing a purpose statement for you and your personal life. On Wednesday, we will give you ways to create your purpose statement. You can lack confidence and still have a high level of self-esteem.
