Never look down upon yourself There is a saying goes:Gold can't be pure and man can't be perfect. As human being, we all have flaws,but it can not be the reason you look down upon yourself.But in this wolrld,many people feel Inferiority.Because they think they are not talented,they are unattractive,they don't have a good personality and so on.They can compliment others but they never compliment themselves.The promble is on the inside.I very like the wolds said by Joel Osteen:This is my Bible,I am what it says I am,I have what it says I have,I can do what it says I can do.So don't ever say negative things about yourself,even if you may be frustrated,you may be tempted to do it but you have got to bite your tongue.Don't let it come out of your mouth.Don't focused on your defeats,your failures,your shortcomings.Everyone has something great to offer.Your gifts,your smile,your love,your encouragement,that is one of a kind. Even if your physical appearance or social skills are not what you wish they are,that doesn't have to stop you from being confident,you are also a masterpiece of the God!

Hi,Liza,I agree with you.This encouragement is not fit for everyone,it just fit for the people who feel inferiority,who have a poor opinoin of themselves.Because they are too busy beating themselves down.they must find some way cheer themselves up. I doesn't mean being arrogant.

Fiona, I like your entry. It's a good encouragement for modest and diffident people. But I'd like to add something... Sometimes I come across people who perceive themselves masterpieces of God, without any encouragement. The problem is they don't perceive others the same way)) The position "I am a star, and I bestow all of you with my rays" makes me willing to say "You should be a bit more modest, look at yourself: you're not such a star really..." I think, self-esteem, as everything in the world, should have reasonable extent, and a person not only can but must consider critically his own actions.

Never look down (up)on yourself

There is a saying that goes like this:Gold can't be pure and man can't be perfect. As human beings, we all have flaws, but it cannot shouldn't be the reason you look down upon yourself. But in this world, many people feel Inferiority because they think they are not talented, they are unattractive, they don't have a good personality and so on. They can compliment others but they never compliment themselves.The problem is on the inside. I really like the words said by Joel Osteen:"This is my Bible, I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do." So don't ever say negative things about yourself, even if you are frustrated, you may be tempted to do it, but you have got to bite your tongue. Don't let it come out of your mouth. Don't focused on your defeats, your failures or your shortcomings. Everyone has something great to offer. Your gifts, your smile, your love, your encouragement(encouragement to others/ motivation?), are one of a kind.
Even if your physical appearance or social skills are not what you wish they were, that shouldn't  stop you from being confident. You are also a masterpiece of the God!
