Falling short...

Have you ever had that feeling inside of you, where everything you do is turned around and thrown back at you? No matter how much you strive and slog, it is never good enough.

Someone once told me, "I don't think people will appreciate you, because you don't know how to get that appreciation out of them".

And I said that if they really and truly do appreciate what I do, then I won't have to.

There is nothing worst than having that feeling deep inside. Knowing that you are not good enough. Not capable. Not worthy.

The best part is sometimes people are really trying their best and truly deserve some appreciation, but they are not given it, which makes them perform poorly.

It is swimming against the current that defines character.

It is doing a good job without any sort of appreciation in life that demands respect.

And it is your belief in your goodness that will make you rise up and deliver even when you are told you're not good enough.

uv already set the character bar high to those who matter (atleast for me.....) so yeah this is jus a reminder of how much like "u" i'd like to be!
sometimes it just takes a while for ppl to appreciate the goodness in others...
