This is your life and you've not only earned it, you deserve to be good to yourself. You'll take pride in your accomplishments and you'll enjoy being the unique person that you are. Perhaps more than any other quality, positive self-esteem opens your door the widest to good health, low stress, high achievement, peace, and happiness. An odd word, but one with great importance. Losers suffer from a limited view of life, and they feel left out.
Winners enjoy a broad, expansive view, and see themselves as part of it.
This is one of those hidden roadblocks that people don't expect. A restricted self-dimension imprisons you by keeping you stuck to a narrow path with few options. I have no choice. It's expected of me. I've invested almost twenty years in this career.
