Lecture continues the introductory discussion with more on what self-esteem is, and is not.
Self-esteem is a personal, intimate thing. It exists at the
core of our being. It is what
I think
and feel about
me, regardless of what
anyone else might think of me.
Self-acceptance is a very important part of raising your confidence. Refuse to deny or disown any aspect of the self: thoughts, emotions, memories, physical attributes, subpersonalities, actions. It's important to accept all aspects of the self to optimize your self-confidence.
Please find exercises for self-acceptance below.

Own your strengths and your virtues, even if you are gifted. Never downplay or disown any parts of yourself to make others feel more comfortable. When you do this, you undermine your own confidence and ability to trust yourself.

Confidence comes from within. It is not about certain behaviors, tricks, or hacks. It’s not about just appearing more confident or acting more confidently. It's not a certain mindset. It’s about knowing who you are. When you possess confidence, you don’t have to try to appear confident. Your confidence simply shines through, whether you know it or not!
That is what this course is about. Every single person on this planet could use at least a little more confidence. Every single one.
True confidence, the kind we are talking about in this course and want to teach you, comes from within. It comes from a deeper knowledge of who you are as a human being. When you know who you are and are comfortable with that person, you naturally exude true confidence. You don’t have to think about it.
You become a better person when your confidence improves. As your confidence builds, you will find yourself kinder and more accepting of others. You will be less jealous and envious. You will naturally be more assertive, ensuring your needs are met through appropriate communication behaviors that support your own needs without harming others. Your relationships will automatically improve because you are a better, healthier, and stronger person. The little things won’t bother you so much. You will spend a lot less time in frustration, irritation, and anger, and a lot more time in peace and acceptance. When your inner core is stronger, your entire life improves.
At the same time, most of us suffer from at least some degree of low self-esteem. Our lives have brought difficulties that we have not had the strength or the tools to manage in a healthy way, so we have fallen victim to them. Our self-esteem has suffered. We have developed shortcomings and hang-ups. We have become insecure in some or many ways. Most of us go through our entire lives with the same low level of self-esteem we came out of childhood with—which is simply tragic. Some of us sink even further because of adult failures. We know we have low self-esteem, but we don’t know what to do about it! And it seems like strengthening our self-esteem is so much work and so difficult. We don’t want to trudge through our painful experiences to try to sort them out in order to build our self-esteem, so we just continue through life with low self-esteem. The problem with that is that low self-esteem actually harms us in so many ways. We choose the company of others with low self-esteem, both personal and professional, perpetuating our own low level and preventing us from improving. We try to climb out of the low self-esteem hole by seeking the company of those we admire, but they don’t want to be around us so they leave us behind. We are left to ourselves, in our own stinky pile of goo, aware that we have low self-esteem but helpless to improve it. We become comfortable in our low level of self-esteem, refusing to take real steps to build it because we don’t want to go through the pain that’s buried deep in our psyches, and we believe this is the only way out.
The good news that we present to you today is that you don’t have to endure the pain of reliving your most damaging experiences in order to strengthen your self-esteem! Just take this course! Listen to the lectures and if you really want to make the most of the course, do the exercises. Even if you do just a few exercises, your self-esteem and self-confidence will improve dramatically. The more exercises you do—and they are not difficult exercises—the stronger and healthier you will become! It really is that simple! Achieve your wildest dreams! Don’t let anything hold you back! These are the benefits of strong self-esteem and self-confidence.
