There’s one very challenging idea in life; how much will you decide you’re worth?
“Challenging”? – maybe a diplomatic, positive-spin way to call it. “Idea”? – sure, we can call it that. “Decide”? – yes. It is a decision. self-worth only has one denominator, Self.
How much money you make
Your job
How popular you are
Your appearance
Your IQ
Who you’re the boss of
The stuff you own
If you’re loved
A non-comprehensive list of what we’ve been taught to believe defines our self-worth. Care to test your self-awareness, feel free to add your own in there.
The daunting truth is that no one and nothing defines what you’re worth, except you. And, it’s entirely predicated on a very simple concept; what do you believe?
There’s a whole tonne of external factors that act to get in the way of the true belief of your self-worth; an abusive partner, financial insecurity, acceptance of your physical existence; but they’re only there as a reflection of your humanness. Although, nothing to take lightly, all those outside forces can be changed. Very simply, it is because they are changeable. To those and all the others you’ve ever experienced, there is a spectrum of reality to each which we can all experience. Some of us may never go through what it’s like to be with an abusive partner, whereas others may live a convenient life of wealth. But, there is one ideal that can’t play to the scale. It does not have a scale. It is merely a point that never changes regardless of the ups and downs around it. It is the value of your self-worth.
You decide what it’s going to be. You decide if you’re worth more than that abusive relationship. You decide if you’re worth more than a dollar sign. You decide if you allow your Heart to accept you as you are.
When I screw up at work or don’t play well in sports or get a pimple on my forward; you know what? Self-worth equals toilet. But, to any one reading this, myself included, “why”? Why does it go there? It just really seems like the most intense mind vice ever. “All I have to do is believe in my self-worth and that makes it true?” Yeah, actually. That’s it. That truth has always been true. It’s just waiting for you to get the net.
Nothing you didn’t come here with and won’t leave behind defines what you’re worth. You’re everything. Try to put a price on that.
Be Love.
