If you judge and criticize yourself - others will condemn and criticize you. If you hurt yourself - others will hurt you too. If you lie to yourself - others will lie to you. If you are irresponsible to yourself - others will be irresponsible to you. If you make fun of yourself - others will make fun of you. If you do not follow your feelings yourself - no one else will follow them; neither your feelings, nor you. But… If You love Yourself - others will love You too. If You respect Yourself - others will respect You too. If You believe in yourself - others will believe in You. If You are honest with Yourself - others will be honest with You. If you value yourself - others will appreciate you too! Life is like a mirror: if you frown at him, he will frown at you; but if you smile at him, he will smile back at you. William Thackeray |
