Be a reflection of what you'd like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want truth, be truthful. If you want respect, give respect.What you give out will return to you.

"... Every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning."
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

If courage isn’t the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isn’t the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it
“Humans are interesting! ”
