What am I worth?

Think of all the people who have made decisions in life based on their self-worth. They settle for less because they think that the choices they make are all they deserve. They settle for relationships that result in a life of misery or a job for which they are vastly overqualified to do. It only reinforces their belief in what they are worth. Where did such beliefs originate? Each person begins life with the potential for greatness and happiness. That potential is not always defined by wealth or being the CEO of a multimillion dollar corporation or becoming a famous celebrity. The potential for greatness and happiness is defined by the opportunity to aspire to and achieve a life that meets the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter along with being loved and cared for in healthy ways. When we believe that we are worth that life, the world around us begins to change. What was acceptable in the past no longer works. New choices become available. It requires courage to make those choices and we know that many people are living lives that demonstrate the results of those choices. Think about your own life and how you currently value yourself. What new choices are you ready to make to reflect what you believe you are worth today?
