The Importance of Self Esteem. Self esteem is crucial and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living. It is very important because it affects how you think, act and even how you relate to other people. It allows you to live life to your potential.
How you feel about yourself â your self-worth or your pride in yourself â is called self-esteem. It may be a blow to your self-esteem, for example, to find out you didn't get chosen for the scholarship you applied for. The esteem part of self-esteem comes from the Latin verb aestimare, meaning to value. The self part is self-explanatory, referring to you, yourself. So think of self-esteem as how you value yourself.
