– – – Always be confident in what you believe in. Never let someone try to shame you for something you believe in, something you are proud of. There’s no trait more weak for someone than that of tearing down what another believes in. When they try to make you look weak they are really the weak one. Don’t accept this abuse, lift your head high and listen to what you believe in because I can guarantee that changing to please them will make YOU miserable – and you are the important one. You can’t make another happy if you are not happy yourself. You can not teach someone to love themselves if you yourself are not a good example of that yourself. I know you might want to help – but you cannot help someone until you are comfortable with your own self.
