You can't make people value you. All you can do is show them who you are, what you feel, and what you believe in. It's up to them to realize your worth....     Remember a Lie will always need another lie to stand behind it. So be always truthful with yourself and others as well because one day lies won't stand and hold you.   There is a voice inside of you that whispers all day long, "I feel that this is right for me, I know that this is wrong". No teacher, preacher, parent, friend or wise man can decide what's right for you - just listen to the voice that speaks inside...   When we avoid others, we are also running away from a part of ourselves. God hides things by putting them too close to us. Intelligence knows its limits but stupidity is free from any such constraints. It is one failure not to see the parts in the whole; and it is another failure not to see the whole in the parts. There are no strangers, only people we haven’t met.   It is a remarkable fact that sometimes faith is not destroyed even after the certitude on which it was based has been shattered. We are not here to worry about life or death. We are here to make the most of what comes in-between.
