I've met many incredible people with a strong and healthy self-esteem. People, who take no non-sense from nobody. People who know their worth and aren't afraid to show it.
I have also met even more incredible people who have all the qualities in right places yet still don't recognize their value. People who let their worth be defined by other people, typically by the ill-willed ones.
Why is it that some people just can't acknowledge how incredible they are? Why do some people always end up doubting themselves, their value, their intelligence? Let others define who they are and what they are worth? Even worst, let the negative feedback define their worth, not the positive comments.
It seems easy to believe anything negative but hard to trust the truthfulness of the positives.
Criticism, even negative feedback, can offer a way for learning and for improvement. No harm done if given and taken in a constructive manner. But when those start defining who you are, what you are worth, then a person is on a dangerous path. If the negative is allowed too much power on our feelings it starts eating a person up from inside. It leads to a life in constant fear of more negative feedback. Fear of negative feedback will block creativity.
A key for success, I believe, is recognizing ones own capabilities, trusting oneself and not being afraid of failure or negative feedback. If you know who you are, what you are capable of, what your motivation and drive is, then no one can stop you from reaching your dreams. You just need to stop letting people walk over you. You need to define your own worth and hold on to that.
