I Am Worthy!

We are all born into different circumstances and most times we feel as if we got the wrong end of the stick.  It is hard to know your own self-worth when your world seems so unstable. As children we depend on our parents to bring stability into our lives and as adults we seem to always be searching for our safe zone.  The only issue as an adult is that we often look in the wrong places for our safe zone and we find ourselves once again getting the wrong end of the stick.  Personally, I have made the wrong choices because I forgot what I truly deserve in my life.  Our worth is in our own hands and until we find out what our own life is valued, we will never be able to find our “safe zone.” 

       The worth of a hundred-dollar bill is found in the mind of who possesses it.  For some people, a hundred dollars is a fortune and for others it is chump change.  Nevertheless, it is still of value because it is the currency we use to make transactions.  The same applies to our self-worth, the value of it is found within yourself because you are the one who possesses it.  And just as money, to some people they are worth a fortune and to others their own worth is chump change. 

       As this New Year continues to grow on us, maybe it is time to examine what you are worth to yourself.  You see, no one else can tell you how much you are worth because they do not possess you.  I encourage you to write down what you believe your worth is and make a list to support the attributes that you are basing your worth on.  Examine your good attributes and re-evaluate the areas that you need work on.  Give yourself a good pat on the back for doing this because it is not easy to admit your short comings and sometimes it is not easy to give yourself praise for the good you are doing. 

       Remember that your worth is in your hands and it can be increased by the time you spend loving yourself.  Do not wait until tomorrow to start giving your life the worth it truly has.  Do something today to show yourself how valuable you are in this world or better yet, take a look at the list you made above and start working on it.  It is never too late to say, “I Am Worthy!”

      

TODAY

Happy New Year!  I have wanted to post a new blog for 2013 and my first thought was to write about my experiences in 2012, but it is too painful to do so.  It is finally a new year, which means new everything!  January is a fun month in the aspect that so many people have found new encouragement.  Sadly, by the second week in February, that encouragement tends to fly out of the window.  I use to think endlessly about the things that I was doing to take away my own motivation and I would try to fix it, but found myself in a rut.  As a matter of fact, for 9 months of 2012 I found myself in a rut. It was like someone threw me into a cistern and I had no strength to get out.  My whole being was in a rut, from my physical self to my mental self to my spiritual self.  Well, now that a new year has begun, I vowed to do things differently.  I am done over preparing for a day that will bring so many wonderful & unexpected circumstances.  Let’s face it, we can plan all we want, but God’s plan is always bigger & better than ours.  I sure learned that lesson last year. 

I have been doing a lot of reading with one particular book in which the unexpected events of life happen so often.  Events of sorrow and despair, joy and happiness, and of human compassion; it is helping me shift my thinking.  I try to do what makes ME happy today.  I try not to regret yesterday and not to worry about tomorrow.  Yes it is very cliché, but it is a freeing thing to start doing.  Please do not misunderstand my new found outlook, because life still throws its low blows and I still have my low days.  The best I can do for myself is enjoy this day called TODAY and forget the rest. 

My main priority for this New Year is to live each day to the fullest.  I did not set any goals or resolutions for myself this year, because in others years I put too much pressure on myself and by mid-February my goals were far away.  This does not mean that I don’t have any expectations of myself; on the contrary, I expect to accomplish many things.  As I live for TODAY, I try to work harder, be healthier, nourish my spiritual self and trust my life to the Lord.  In trust you find an unexplained freedom and I was created to be free, not to be tied down by things or people. 

This year I hope to blog more and to be able to interact with my readers a little more.  I wish you all a healthy, prosperous, freeing & adventurous 2013!
