If you have self-compassion, you will be kind towards yourself and keep working towards your goals.
Eventually—you will develop self-esteem.
Working on self-esteem now won't help you because esteem is achieved with results—which are a product of work over time. And importantly—the results you aspire to are always a moving target because that means you are growing.
Wishing you loads of luck here!
