How Do You See Yourself?
July 27, 2019Empty Boats and Broken People
January 4, 2020Imagine you have a one-hundred-dollar bill in your hand. Now, picture throwing it to the ground and stomping on it. Really grind it into the dirt. Yell at it. Call it “stupid” and “worthless.” Reject it. Walk away from the imaginary bill. Is that dirty, lonely, messed up bill still valuable? Isn’t it worth the same as a crisp, clean Benjamin? It sure is. Though it has been used and abused, it has the same value. The cash did not lose one single cent of value because of how it was treated.
You are the same. You are the cash. You are the bill that has been thrown down and trampled on. Some days, your coworkers, family, or even strangers mistreated you. On other days, you were too hard on yourself. You’ve been thrown around and seen better days. However, you have not lost your worth.
You are special. You are valuable. You are talented and unique. Be kind to yourself and acknowledge your worth today. Just as you can shake or wash off the money, shake off the condemnation and pain on you. You are of immeasurable value.
