You will never succeed, as long as you think you don’t matter. You’re not important, even if that allows you to enjoy life more, because you don’t care, or you don’t give a damn anymore. 

You must think to yourself, I wanna succeed at the highest level, in order to attain the bare minimum. 

If you are not important enough, you will have no reason to succeed, to not settle, to not accept the bare minimum in life.

If you’re not important, if you don’t matter, why even try?

Your energy will naturally get drained and depleted, because of such beliefs. And you will never have enough energy to fix your life, much less attain anything extraordinary, if you don’t think you are important enough to deserve what you’re aiming for or trying to accomplish.

Self-esteem is essential for success. You can’t have anything in life without it, even if you wanted to.
