"I got married because my partner proposed"
"They said I wasn't good enough so I didn't enter the competition"

I could write these forever, and I'm sure that we've all said something like this in our lives, however if you say things like this a lot, it's a sign that you could be listening to other people too much.

What other people believe about you, is never real, because they don't know the whole of you, and what they expect of you, is always clouded by their own experiences and fears.

YOU are important
You ARE important
You are IMPORTANT.

Need me to say it again?
