Is There Such a Thing as Healthy Self Esteem?

For many people, it's a continuous source of unease and even suffering. Underneath the feeling of inferiority is hidden desire to be superior. Is there such a thing as healthy self esteem? Sometimes that expression is used, or is that kind of self esteem always unhealthy? I would suggest that the only healthy self esteem is a self esteem that is derived from a deeper play s than anything else.
