Dear Gurudev, how do I increase my self-worth and self-esteem?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

There is no way on the planet Earth. You cannot increase your self-esteem even if the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East. Even if that is possible, it is impossible to increase your self-esteem. Just accept it. Finito!
My dear, if you think you don’t have it and you try to have it, it is not going to work! You simply have to recognize that it is already there.
