Figuring out your "worth" is not about money, about material things or about real estate; it's about the beautiful brain inside your head and that amazing beating heart in your chest...it's about setting boundaries and knowing through and through what is right within your soul and what is not. Figuring out your "worth" is a product of many things, mainly life experiences. Not all life experiences are good, of course, but should that make you WORTH LESS or WORTH MORE? Because if you are reading this, you have survived 100% of what has already faced you.
As stated on Webster.com, a simple definition of worth: an amount of something that has a specified value that lasts for a specified length of time. So VALUE is directly related to WORTH...hmmmmmm. And time? I guess the "specified length of time" is how long YOU specify!
What do YOU value? Your faith, your home, your kids, your family, your work, your colleagues, your...? So doesn't it make perfect sense that if someone OR something comes into your life and devalues your home, your kids, your family, your work....that they are taking from your WORTH?
Take a moment or two and recall some moments in your life in which you felt full of worth and full of value. Where were you? Who were you with? How did it make your brain and your heart feel? Now, let's reflect on a moment where your value and worth were lessened, by words or actions or results of someone's hurtful choices.
I am going to leave you with this thought today. YOU ARE WORTH MORE and your life and all that is in it has GREAT VALUE. Anything or anyone that questions your worth or value is not worth your valuable time!
Jeremiah 29:11New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
