The More we value things, the less we value ourselves
When you undervalue who you are, the world will undervalue what you do and vice versa.
When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.
It's not the honors and not the titles and not the power that is of ultimate importance. It's what resides inside.
It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.
Self worth cannot be verified by others. You are worthy because you say it is so. If you depend on others for your value it is other-worth.
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
The best way to avoid falling prey to the opinions of others is to realize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions. Regardless of how great or terrible they think you are, that's only their opinion. Your true self-worth comes from within.
The writer knows his own worth, and to be overvalued can confuse and destroy him as an artist.
Our dependency makes slaves out of us, especially if this dependency is a dependency of our self-esteem. If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge.
