Meditations on God

Knowing your value requires wisdom.

Insisting on being valued, on the other hand, requires courage.

It does not matter what you think your value is as a person if you are unwilling or unable to stand up for yourself.

This does not mean trying to force people who do not value you to do so.

It would be foolish to think that everyone will appreciate you or see your worth.

Once you know your own value, however, it is up to you to set a standard for how you are treated and then to maintain that standard.

Doing so is not easy.

In order to be valued, you will have to risk not being liked.

Integrity requires courage.
