Best Answer

If you set positive goals for yourself and you believe in your own
ability to overcome obstacles and actively try to do so, you will
lead a happier life and you will feel good about yourself as
a result.

If you're destructive to yourself and others, then you will likely
lead an unhappy life and feel bad about yourself.

I think people with high self-esteem usually have a good reason
to feel good about themselves, so I don't think it's a bad thing.

It's important though not to confuse high self-esteem with conceit or arrogance
which usually stem from a secret sense of low self-esteem.

MichaelT 		Having a high self-esteem is a positive thing. Someone who thinks well of themselves knows not to flaunt it nor put others down.

MFB13 		I think that's great because loving others or respect for others around you always starts with your own self respect! Furthermore, if you believe in G-d, then you also have a great appreciation for his creation.
