A very young woman sent me this quote. I just wanted to get some feedback on how others view the content. Seems to me this young lady says a lot about self esteem and self worth.
"If you're NOT being treated with love & respect, check your "price tag". Perhaps you have marked yourself down. It's you who tell people what you're worth BY WHAT YOU ACCEPT. Get off the "clearance rack" and get behind the glass where they keep all the "valuables." The bottom line is...."value" yourself more!"
What do you mylotters think about this?

i think is more like to keep "you" in you. no matter where you are don't ever leave "you" behind."You" will make you more yourself, more accepted and more respected.

That is an interesting way of looking at it. You know, so many young people consider their "you" by what others perceive. As we grow older, we realize that it is not until we decide to value ourselves for what we perceive we are and not others that we reach a level of high personal acceptance, self respect, and self-esteem.

maybe the youngster still haven't find yet their real "you". if they open their mind and out from the "circle" im sure they will see the real "you" that all this time have been lock away by other perceive.

Yes your right about that. It is refreshing to know that we can still learn through the creativity and experiences of those younger than ourselves. Sometimes we need to look back and take a step backwards so we can take two steps forward. we can do this by encouraging creativity in our youths.

I think this is a fantastic quote. Its so true - often you get treated the way you let yourself be treated, so why not value yourself enough to be treated the very best - you deserve it!
