I would venture to say that anyone who considers someone who's become self-reliant, mature, self-sufficient, learns to stand up for him or herself, learns to use his or her voice to express his or her needs, learns to see the big picture, learns the value and meaning of life, learns to put away petty squabbles and those with whom petty squabbles are present, finds true success, finds true peace of mind, finds and bonds with family, has deep and meaningful travel experiences, becomes published, obtains a master's degree, continues to be well read, cultured, and playful; someone who considers a person like this as "negative" or "inactive" truly does not understand the meaning of positive living, success, thriving, or healthy relationships.
Do not let anyone tell you that you are not worth it because you won't submit to the rule that darkness has over their spirit, their soul, and their livelihood.
I will forever take credit for all work that is mine, including that which I've done on myself. The rest is the work of my God.
