Summary

This quote emphasizes that productive achievements are not the sole determinants of one's health and self-esteem. Rather, they are outcomes and reflections of an individual already having a strong sense of self-worth and well-being. It suggests that one's ability to accomplish and create is linked to their overall emotional and psychological state, rather than productivity being the driving force behind a person's self-esteem and overall health. In other words, the quote suggests that a healthy and confident mindset precedes productive achievements, rather than the other way around.
