Everyone at one time in their life has looked in a mirror and thought, I am less than. Here is the truth, no one is less than. No one person was created better than the other. We all enter this world the same way, innocent and naive. It's the character of yourself that defines who you are as person and the lifestyle you create for yourself will let others see what is most important to you.
If you feel less than, something is not right, someone along the way took your confidence and crushed it to the point where you truly believed every vile word that they said. Well, I'm telling you that YOU. ARE. WORTH. IT. Your life is worth living, you are meant to be here. Someone loves you and needs you here. It could be your Mom, a cousin, or even a stranger you have yet to meet, someone wants you here.
You will have those days where everything has gone wrong and you don't think you can hang on anymore, but you can and you will. That last string is still keeping you going because even you know that you are worth it. This world has become a dark place, but within those dark places are secret safe havens where you can live and be happy without the darkness trying to ruin it. Believe in yourself and your ability to keep your head above the water. Drowning is not an option only swimming is.
Being happy is a choice no one can make for you. They cannot force you to therapy, they can't hold your hand as you go through the day, they can't tell your boss not to make the work load too heavy. You must do that. You need to willingly wake up one day and say, "that's it, I'm going to be happy and I'm going to do it now." So what are you waiting for? Wake up and see that the only person holding you down anymore is you! By not living your life you are letting they others win. So what's it going to be?
Prove all those people wrong, stand up for yourself, speak loudly, tell jokes, go on vacations, be happy. But most importantly, BE YOU. You are not less than, you are more than.
