Getting out of yourself is important. I think Oprah has had an enormous influence in that direction and hopefully she will continue to. One person can make a difference. I think that her message targets that thought. There will always be people better off than you. There will always be people that have less than you. If you can get out of yourself and do something that will help people who have less than you, whether it is driving meals on wheels, cooking for the homeless on a holiday or volunteering in an organization on a regular basis that does something to help others that is probably one of the best self-esteem building activities.
