The secret to your purpose is to find what you feel is important, and not pursue what others would think is important. When you think highly of yourself, me thinking highly of you will never be enough!

About This Quote

As humans, we are constantly seeking approval from other people. We need to know that they approve of us in order to feel good about ourselves. The problem is that sometimes others are just not qualified to give us that approval. For example, when you are in a job interview and the interviewer doesn’t seem to care whether you are qualified for the position or not, the only thing you can do is to think highly of yourself. If you think highly of yourself, you will never be satisfied with anything less than the best job possible.
