Matthew 7:6 "...neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
Everyday of your life should be geared towards improving yourself, and as you improve yourself, you should also NOT shortchange yourself. A major challenge that holds in our world today is many don't understand the difference between self-confidence and pride. Pride and Self-confidence are two totally different things. As you develop yourself, you should exchange your value for nothing less, it doesn't matter how you're looked at, its not pride, its called self-confidence. Jesus says "cast not your pearls before swine" meaning do not give precious things to don't who don't value it. You must exchange value for value. You must give value to those when understand what you're bringing to the table, do not shortchange yourself. If you would discipline yourself to add value to yourself, you can discipline yourself not to shortchange yourself before others.
I once had a contract to do a particular job for a lower price than what I should be paid, I declined even if I felt I could use such money anyways, I was self-confident enough to stand on what I demand, well I got a much better offer later which recognized the value I was offering, and I took it. Do not shortchange yourself, you have good value. Do have a great day friend😉.
