You're absolutely right carenkh, bad wording on my part. What I meant to say was that a healthy self-concept and self love are where you should begin your personal development - period.

Certainly people can accomplish many things whether they love themselves or not - look at Marilyn Monroe, perhaps Elvis, and many others. The problem is that when you don't have a healthy self-concept no matter how accomplished you are, you don't feel good about what you've done and or what you've have acquired. There are many rich, talented yet miserable people out there. People can still function and be productive and not love themselves.
