self-worth

Never chase a person that doesn't know your worth because the moment you catch him you will always feel you were never good enough.

Yes, you ARE important enough; and yes, your needs and wants DO matter.

When you think yourself as nothing,Then something important will begin

The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognize your own worth.

Nobody can help you as much as you can help yourself.

What I am in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I should like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.

At least a third of the world__ population are introverts. While they can pretend to be extroverts for a while, frankly, the task is exhausting. I hope Charlotte accurately portrayed the complexities of this personality. Contrary to common belief, introverts are not necessarily shy. They are not misanthropists. Though they gain energy from solitude and quiet, they don__ always like to be by themselves. They are, however, wonderful observers of the world around them, are quite self- aware, and prefer deep conversations to small talk. They are also inclined to think that there__ something seriously wrong with them. Many times they desperately hope that if they just try hard enough, they__l be able to be like everyone else. I should know. I am one. Perhaps my novels always speak to questions of worth because so often I doubt my own.

I guess sometimes the perfection we perceive in others is made up of a whole bunch of tiny imperfections, because some days the damn dress just won't zip.

When admiring other people's gardens, don't forget to tend to your own flowers.

When you are clearly-defined, deliberate with intention and operating at your highest level, your brilliance cannot be hidden, diminished or overshadowed.

When you only know your faults and failures, you allow yourself and others to downgrade your dreams and belittle your wants.

Some days I feel like my worth is being reevaluated every five minutes.

I believe now that we__e the enemy to the things we really want for our lives. We get really good at telling ourselves ugly lies on repeat every day. You__e unworthy. You__e ugly. You__e inadequate.

You deserve to be rich. You deserve to live a happy life. You deserve peace of mind. You deserve respect. You deserve loving relationships. And YES, it__ all possible.

Acknowledge, accept, and honor that you deserve your own deepest compassion and love.

The more you try, so desperately, to prove a point to get someone's approval, the more fleeting that approval might be, causing a chain of depreciation of self-esteem. Sometimes, all you need do is truly love yourself and get only the approval and acceptance of the inner self.

No woman deserved to have a man put his hands on her.

We all have special attributes that are of value to someone. Find your place of value. You are never useless. You just need to find your place.
