A young American in Detroit made a meagre<br>living making clay pots and selling them in the<br>local market. He decided one day that change was<br>needed, so he wrote a large placard explaining that the<br>pots were made with very special clay under<br>supervision of a master craftsman, in a limited<br>edition of just two hundred. He also upped the<br>price tenfold. Within a day he had sold them all. He<br>is now a leading artist and advocate for social<br>change in the area. His story illustrates a truth \u2013<br>that if you increase your valuation of something,<br>even of yourself, then others will respond positively<br>and agree with your valuation. Do I place a high<br>enough value on myself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8ff9619670c61bc68a5b20148fa40d09\"><strong><br>I must not over-value myself, that would be too<br>prideful but neither should I undervalue myself,<br>because that is effectively undervaluing my Higher<br>Power who is my guide and strength. I just need to<br>have a realistic view of myself and my strengths and<br>weaknesses.
