Know your worth.
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.
Life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows. Even though some people might not show it, they all have their own struggles. We all have something very dear to us. It can be a person, a job, a financial status, literally anything that once made us happy and is no longer doing it. That is when we start to lose our confidence and start to feel unworthy. Or sometimes we realize our growth is hindering when we are at a certain room of our life.
Now why is that? I think it’s because we have attached our happiness, our self confidence, our heart to that one particular thing. But as I am here to not tell you about the things you probably already know, I am here to help you get out of a hole that you are in I searched up “Self worth” on google and it said, “noun. the sense of one’s own value or worth as a person; self-esteem; self-respect.” I did that for you now listen to me.
It took me years to understand (I’m kidding I’m just 18… but that’s a lot too!) why I was not born to settle for less than anyone else.
We aren’t defined by the things we own, the people we date, the parties we go to or the way we act around people. The only way we could define us is by within.
Knowing your worth can be as simple as rejecting a conversation or as great as getting out of a job or as great as getting out of a relationship or job that isn’t serving your highest good. There is a quote that says, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” I want you to think how many times have you compromised yourself just to fit in or just because you thought you couldn’t get a better deal? I have done it so many times! We often stay in a not so fulfilling situation just because we think that there is nothing more better that we could get.
I think that is because we think that our life couldn’t get any better than this.
Now you may ask “But why is knowing my worth so important? How will that help me?” I would say, think of self worth or self esteem as an ingredient of your favourite dish. If you don’t know the ingredients to the food you are making; how would you even make it?
Knowing our worth or value is necessary because it helps us filter out people and patterns in our lives. We learn to say “No” to things that we aren’t really happy with. That’s because you feel it deep within and you refuse to ignore your intuition. This eventually helps us stay out of toxic patterns. Trust me, it’s a win ;)
Now that I have (hopefully) convinced you to drop that compromisation, get ready to wear a crown because now you have to be your own ruler. The very first thing and probably the only thing you need to know when you want to love yourself is to ‘Love yourself as much as you would love your child or your family members or your lover.’ Treat yourself like you would Here’s how:
- Put yourself as a priority ALWAYS!
- Know yourself better than everyone out there. (Look deep within and find out your strengths and weaknesses.)
- Look back at your past mistakes, toxic patterns to become aware of your triggers.
- Give yourself time to heal. HEAL!
- Never, I repeat NEVER settle for something less than your potential! There is enough everything for everyone here on this planet. We’re planning to take over mars anyway so why not?
I take your leave for now, I hope we meet next week.
Thank you for reading.
