Always remember you are unique and you are important. There is no one
else in the world quite like you. You are special. There never has been
and there never will be anyone like you again.
Don't let people take away your respect for yourself. No matter what
they say or do remember that you are very important and a worthwhile
person, and always retain respect for yourself. They cannot take away
your self respect and dignity, for you control what you think of
yourself and no one else.
You have your own special qualities and talents, and though you may not
have the talents and gifts that someone else has, you have your own
talents and gifts that others do not have. No one else can be you. Only
you can be you. Try to be the best you possible.
Remember also that you are important to other people. You cannot help
but touch the lives of other people as you go through life. There are
many people who need your love and support, and who look up to you, and
want to emulate you. People you may not even be aware of need you, and
watch your life, and if you give up and fail yourself, you are failing
them and letting them down too.
And you are important in the eyes of God. The Bible says that God loves
you very much. The Bible says that God loves you so much that He sent
His only begotten Son to die on the cross for
you.
