I love the way you conceptualize self esteem. I had a dramatic shift in my self esteem about 4 years ago. I call the old me "The Chauffeur" because that's precisely what I behaved like -- a good little subservient boy who did what he was told and who settled for crumbs. I call my new self Mike Tyson. He's the opposite of The Chauffeur in almost every way. Mike Tyson is bold, unapologetic, fiercely on my side, is a bully's worst nightmare. Among other things.
