"A single thread in a tapestry-Though its color brightly shine-Can never see its purpose In the pattern of the grand design...
...So how can you see what your life is worth Or where your value lies?You can never see through the eyes of manYou must look at your life, Look at your life through heaven's eyes."
~from 'The Prince of Egypt'
with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

It's not the over-rated, phoney "self-esteem" that conservatives are always complaining about- it's recognizing that you have meaning, purpose, and potential. All of us feel inadequate or inferior sometimes. That's when Norman Vincent Peale would tell you to buck-up and start repeating this powerful affirmation: "I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me" ~Philippians 4:13
