You decide how you feel and your feelings are based on your
values
You
can't be lifted up by anyone or anything any higher than you're
willing to lift yourself up.
You
can't be put down by anyone or anything any lower than you're
willing to put yourself down.
No
one will lift you up any higher than yourself.
No
one will put you down any lower than yourself.
When
people praise and reprimand you , they're only providing you with
their opinion and perceptions of your actions. Only if they reflect
your own opinions can other people's opinions have the power to
make you feel good or bad. You decide how you feel and your
feelings are based on your values.
Many
people go through life trying to receive praise and avoid reprimand
.To them , other people's opinions define their own self-worth.But
those who live their lives listening to the guidance of their hearts
and souls realize that they must be true to themselves regardless of
others opinions of them.
True
self-worth stems from within , and when you're focused on an
inspired purpose , neither praise nor reprimand can bump you off
your course.
