WE SHOULD KNOW THE POTENTIAL OF OURSELVES.

The fact is that, most of us don't even know the value of ourselves.Self value is more behavioural than emotional. We will consider ourselves in such a bad way To value something goes beyond regarding it as important; you also appreciate its qualities, while investing time, energy, effort, and sacrifice in its nurturing or maintenance.So if we are not valuing ourselves, we won't be giving much importance to ourself. Any ways we all are human beings so, sometimes it may be a basic human character.When we are not giving much preference to ourselves, in fact we are losing faith in ourselves. People think that the worst feeling in this world is losing the one you value, but the truth is that the most painful thing is losing yourself for some one else. The worst part in that is we don't understand that.

A common thing which we all are doing is COMPARISON. We compare anything with everything around us. We compare ourselves with our colleagues or friends. Based upon that we value ourselves.Valuing others more than ourselves makes our self-value soar. It also carries substantial social reward. We will say that, OH, I am not as good as him.... Why do we need to do that??? Unless we are not fruits or vegetables, we don't want to compare ourselves with the good ones or bad ones.

When we are trying to prove our value to some one, we had already forgotten our self value. Don't force yourself to fit in where you don't belong. So if you feel that you are not getting enough respect or value, don't want to hold on. The best thing to do is just move on. If you are that you are holding the same situation you are actually forgetting one thing. Everyone in this world has a self respect. When you are doing this, you are changing your self. Changes are good, but if it is for someone else, it won't be as good as we think. Because if we change ourselves for some one else, we are forgetting ourselves and letting others to take advantage of that situation and it will destroy our self confidence.

The first thing we should do is to know our potential to do each and every things in life. If we don't value ourselves, we will begin to hate ourselves. we will start finding mistakes and thinks that we are bad at those things. We will compare ourselves with others. When we compare ourselves with others the love, self respect and all which we have towards ourselves will gradually decreases and this may results in depression. When we are not considering ourselves important, we will not look after our health and body. even our mind will be so much worried because of this.

Love yourselves and follow your dreams because if you want it bad enough... it will happen. It is always better to surround yourselves with people who see your value and remind you of it because your value does not decrease based on someone inability to see your worth.When we undervalue who we are, the world will undervalue what we do. So when we honour and value ourself, we are honouring god, because we are his creation, a beautiful reflection of him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
