In reference to yesterday’s post…

It doesn’t have to be a negative to have a high opinion of oneself, within reason.  A lot of the best people I know fit this bill.  You can usually tell them from the other kind—those who are conceited, vain, arrogant—by the way they make you feel.

Is their personality both magnetic and uplifting?  Not just fun to be around, but adding to your life.  Are you charged up and ready to be better and live better?  Did your energy go up or down when you were near them?

A list of phrases someone with a high opinion of herself might utter:

I will handle whatever comes.

I know who to ask for help.

I’m open to change.

Follow me.

Can I join you?

I believe in you.

I believe in something.

Sometimes I won’t have all the answers.

Finding an answer isn’t always the goal.

People can trust me.

I trust the people who care about me.

Adversity is an opportunity.

I’ve faced challenges before.

I thrive under pressure.

I got this.

                          We got this.
