No.
Beyonce at the beginning of every tour would ask, "If you proud of who you are and where you come from say 'I slay!'".
And it's just a simple fact of life that a foundational love of your
being is necessary to take you far in life. If you don't love yourself for all that you are and what you represent first, and you're only defined by the things you earn and achieve, every loss will be devastating because it's tied to your self-esteem. When really you should already love yourself and work not to earn any sort of accolade, but because you believe in the merit of what you're pursuing.
