Sharing some of my older posts here relating to feeling valued. Trying to get these out there, some good seo and links.
Find a context where you matter - In this one I'm talking about hierarchy pools and finding one where you can rise to the top. For instance I was always at the bottom of mine as a young lad until I got older and more experienced and began to find pools where I was near the top and how it changed my life for the better.
Why no-one changes. Because change is scary and hard, and by god putting yourself out there is harder than anyone thinks. But it has to be done if you want to get ahead I'm afraid to say. You'll never get ahead in life if you sit there wishing things would happen to you.
Why you suck at life - I'm talking about how to change your life around here into a position where you matter to people. Have a listen.
