Yes, you should have a healthy self-esteem, however being cocky, prideful, arrogant, conceited, and demanding are not aspects of self-esteem.
Everything that happens to you or around you are not always about YOU. Let go of any manipulative hidden agenda for self-importance or self-righteousness to fix people. Humble yourself to serve. Sit on your ego. See the bigger picture of how God can use you as a servant to lead, love, serve and bless others.
