Self-Esteem
St. Catherine of Siena
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
St. Francis de Sales
“Be who you are and be that well, to serve your own Creator in a way that only you can”
Please bear in mind that the purpose of what follows is to build the interior capacity required for faithful discipleship in the lay apostolate. Self-esteem is therefore presented from that perspective — in the way that best supports your service to God.
This is self-coaching, not counselling or therapy. It does not attempt to resolve deep-seated low self-esteem.
It is introductory. Its purpose is to get you started. The aim is not a confidence boost for a day, but to get you started with building or sustaining your self-esteem.
For deeper formation and full development of this skill, consider one-to-one coaching.
