WORTH

WORTH

What are you WORTH? This question requires an honest and sincere answer. The worth of a man is not determined by anyone outside of himself. No one can determine your worth, it is determined by the value you place on yourself. What you see and say of yourself is what others will see and say about you, if you don't like what people say about you, change what you say about yourself.

Sometimes you deserve more than you get from life and people, but it is what it is because you allowed people determine your worth, and they make you feel like they are doing you a favour, meanwhile, you deserve more. Until you begin to set standards, and place the proper value on yourself, you will continue to get external valuation instead of self set value.

As much as you need to set your own value, and stick to what you believe about yourself - positively, you do not have to prove your worth to anyone. As Alexandra Stoddard once said, "Don’t try to prove anything about yourself to anyone. It isn’t necessary. Your worth shines through to others - know your worth." Your positive self-worth is light a bright ray of light, it will shine through to everyone that comes around you, and you get the respect you deserve.

It may not get easy for people to accept the standards you set for yourself, and the value you place on yourself, but an unrelenting, focus, and determined resolve to be what you want to be, will get you through. Ancient Chinese Philosopher and Writer, Lao Tzu puts it explicitly "Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her." If you don't accept who you are the world will not accept you, so, know your WORTH.
