Building self-esteem

  How is self-esteem built? It is something that is being formed from the day we are born and goes on. It is all those feelings that we develop about ourselves, either positive or negative are reinforced in us by others. Some aspects which are affecting our self-esteem from childhood are:- 1.

Motivation It is a compilation of two words (motive+action) motive for action. It is a driving force that encourages us to take action. It is an igniting spark to encourage us towards our goals. Can you motivate someone?  Absolutely not, No we can't motivate anyone. We can only inspire, encourage and support people to motivate themselves but we can't motivate them. Why?
