You are the Magnum Opus you've been trying to create.

Self-love is the foundation of creation and the mortar between the bricks of life.

True self-love is the opposite of narcissism, where one can’t take their eyes off themselves and feels superior to another. Self-love is wholeness. It allows one to say, “I am perfect just the way I am and so are you.”

Almost every place you work for, you will have to take a beating on your self+value and self+worth especially so if you are a man of your own opinions who calls a spade a spade. It is only the people pleasers who get along well at work with anybody.

If what you are is more important to you, than what you do, it is better to do nothing and have your sense of self+worth intact than do something and take a beating on your self+worth and self+esteem.

When the world does its level best to devalue me in ways that are nothing short of brutal, all it does is evidence my value. For why would it expend such massive amounts of energy attempting to destroy something that’s not there?
