You must surround yourself with people who appreciate you, love you, encourage you, help you to be the best you can be by speaking honest truth and those who build you up! Unfortunately, everybody is not going to accept you. You have to get past that. You must understand that.
Don’t you dare let someone else’s un-appreciation or non-acceptance of you be a point of depression or cause you to feel ‘less than’. Don’t give them that kind of power over your life! You must encourage yourself!
Stop being so dependent on other people for your value! If someone does not appreciate you, it is not your problem. Don’t let that stop you from giving your best. Don’t let that stop you from living your life. Don’t let that victimize you.
You are not a victim of your life; you are the creator of your life.
