Remember, your 'in-look' (self-perception) will always be directly proportional to your 'out-look' (what others think of you). No one can affirm you as good as you can. So stop having a pity-party and complaining. Instead go ahead and affirm yourself. Life is not a problem to be solved, it's a gift to be enjoyed!
