            ” No one is you……. And that’s your POWER”

The only one who gets to decide your worth is you. It does not come from your bank account or the number of friends you have. It’s called a self-worth for a reason- YOUR WORTH COMES FROM YOU.

 

SELF-WORTH is being able to feel good about yourself with no influence from outside source and it is necessary for a person because it is the key to positive mental health and well-being.

v "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." – Buddha

 

v "Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." -- M. Scott Peck  

 

 

v "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." -- William James

 

v "Self-care is never a selfish act--it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others." -- Parker Palmer
