• The ability to be honest with yourself and be true to who you are and what you value.

• The ability to take responsibility for your choices and actions.

• The ability to love and accept yourself as you are, knowing that you can improve and develop any aspects of yourself that you choose.

Developing a healthy self-concept takes deliberate planning and concentrated effort. It takes acknowledging your intrinsic value as a human being, and then working to acquire the skills needed to confront the many challenges and adversities we encounter in life.

When you posses a healthy self-concept, nothing can rattle you, or take you off your stride. You are confident, poised, and assured because you know you are equipped to handle whatever comes your way.
