I'd say that one accomplishes this through a life-long process of questioning, challenging, and refining one's goals or beliefs. I see no problem with another person acting as the initial motivator for such a journey, or providing motivation along the journey, so long as the motivatee
keeps moving forward.

Or do you not have a problem with that either?

Of course I have a problem with anyone who ever stops thinking for him or herself... stagnancy is the enemy! But I also appreciate that some people may need an external 'kick-start' in order to recognize their own capabilities and find personal empowerment. I see nothing wrong with such motivation.
