The One to Impress

No matter how wonderful we really are, no amount of effort will help us gain acknowledgment from someone who doesn’t want to or isn’t capable of recognizing us. They may have problems appreciating others because of jealousy, self-judgment, their own lack of self-love or just not wanting to have it pulled out of them. The more we try to impress these people, the less likely it is that we will. If we want to be seen as the gems we are, looking to others isn’t the way. There’s only one person who can really validate us…

The one in the mirror.
