The real secret to building up self-esteem lies in having a greater appreciation of our neighbor, to show great respect for every human being because he is a creature of God. Therefore, he is valuable. For instance, try to appreciate others and you will be amazed to realize how your self-esteem has grown. In fact, true self-esteem is not a consequence of the great things we may have done or possess. Likewise it does not depend on the road we have taken, but it is simply acknowledging to ourselves what we really are, children of God. Undoubtedly, when we manage to understand this, we will necessarily conclude that we, too, have to esteem others for the same reason.
