Selected quotes 

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.

Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.

To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now. – Alan Cohen

Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are. – Claude M. Bristol

Make sure you don’t start seeing yourself through the eyes of those who don’t value you. Know your worth even if they don’t.
