Thinking Appreciated Grows

More From Fred Rogers

There is yet another illusion, that it is important to be respectable, to be loved and appreciated, to be important. many say we have a natural urge to be loved and appreciated, to belong. that’s false. drop this illusion and you will find happiness. we have a natural urge to be free, a natural urge to love, but not to be loved.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

Most people aren't raised to be hated. we're all raised to be loved. we want to be loved. we're told to do things to be loved and appreciated and liked. we're raised, don't offend anybody, be nice. everybody wants total acceptance. everybody wants respect. everybody wants to be loved, and so when you learn that what you do is going to engender hatred you have to learn to accept that as a sign of success.

We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman. it's kind of a catch-22: strength in women isn't appreciated, and vulnerability in women isn't appreciated. it's like, 'what the hell do you do?' what you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are.

My advice for someone who wants to be creative but has a chronic illness is to think of something that you can do as opposed to all the things you can't do - and do that. it's just like gardening: what can grow in this soil? there's some soil you can grow roses in and some soil you can only grow cactuses in, so if you can only grow cactuses, become the best cactus grower in the whole world. taking care of yourself is the most important thing. find something that makes you happy. don't get down on yourself that you can't run a 4k or dance all night long at a fun club. give yourself a break.

I love you also means i love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, i love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, i love you in a way that i love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.

Similar Quotes

I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.

We may stumble, but always there is that eternal voice, forever whispering within our ear, that thing which causes the eternal quest, that thing which forever sings and sings.

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.

Love is commitment; love is a relationship that never gives up.
