Day 65 of wisdom
"Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are."
Malcolm S. Forbes.
If you don't know who, or what you are, you would not know your worth. Some people relegate themselves to the background when they should be at the forefront, and vice versa. Sometimes, either could be necessary, but one must know the true value, and worth of himself, so you can adequately place your foot right at the right time.
A Yoruba adage when been interpreted says, "as a man describes his cloth, so will his neighbours describe it for him" this by implications means, however you regard yourself is the way you will be regarded by those around you. We must constantly do some personal evaluation of ourselves and paint the best possible picture in moderacy.
You are a success, and you have to understand that. If you must rightly value yourself, you must realize who you are, what you are, and where you are going. Your present situation does not really define you, because if it does, there is no opportunity for a change, but because, you are not your present, you shouldn't define yourself by your present, but by what you could become in the future.
Do not look down on yourself at any point in time, nor think too highly of yourself, but be moderate in your valuation of yourself. You may be down today, but if you do not stay down, you will soon be up.
