I'm not saying we should not work on self-improvement, I'm not recommending we should ignore our shortcomings and limitations, I'm simply suggesting that you don't need weigh yourself on someone else's rigged scale. If you believe you oughtto work on an aspect of you, go ahead, but only if you truly want it. Life is not a battle, you are not in a boxing ring that you have to keep fighting and show your strength till one of the opponent's knocked out or the time runs out. Sometimes, most of the times in fact, it's perfectly fine to take a back step, to cry, to be yourself, to express yourself. To show your emotions does not make you weak; on the contrary it shows you are genuine. Just because a part of your life is broken doesn't mean you are weak or unworthy, it doesn't necessarily mean you are at fault. It could just be one of those times when you went out without an umbrella on a clear day but it rained cats and dogs.
If there's one gift you can give to yourself, if there's one resolution you can make to transform yourself, it could be: never let anyone ever tell you what your worth is, never let them dictate how you see yourself. Next time someone neglects your feelings and tells you to be strong instead, please know that he or she is not the right person to share your feelings with. You'll be better off speaking to a mirror. Or maybe you'll get more out if you just call the customer care at your telephone company and insist they hear you out for the next few minutes. You've been a loyal customer for years, and the least they can do is listen to your grievance for five minutes. Alright, I'm only joking. Not a bad way to end the year, I reckon.
