"You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!" Eckhart Tolle
Appreciating self-worth is the beginning of our progress. Self esteem and self worth is so important to our well being! What would happen to this world if we all loved ourselves and one another? What would happen to our world if we all would see the importance of each individual in this life? What would happen if we all put our minds to work, read books and worked on ourselves to become all that we can be? Just imagine what an incredible effect this would have on our collective future!
We all have inside ourselves all that is needed to be all we can be and to do all we ever dreamed of doing. That is so exciting! We just need to become more aware of all that we already have and spend more time refining who we already are, and then put it to work for us. What stops us from being who we are, and using the talents and gifts that we have is a poor attitude about ourselves. Why are we so reluctant to see in ourselves the value and worth that we have? Why are we always ready to applaud someone else's accomplishments and yet so shy about recognizing our own?
Each one of us is unique. There is no one else in the world quite like us and do the special things we do. We may not be recognized for the things we do, but the world is a better place because of us. We make a difference in this world by doing everything we do, and being everything we can be. We need to change our feelings about ourselves and develop a new philosophy about the value of human beings, starting with ourselves! We are so busy living our lives that we never pause long enough to appreciate all that we do in a given day. We hardly have any awareness of ourselves and we don't appreciate ourselves most of the time. Self-knowledge is the beginning of making better choices and decisions for our lives. As we get to know ourselves better our attitude towards life and ourselves improve. How we feel about ourselves is a matter of choice. Let's choose to see us like God sees us: "You are precious and honored in my sight, and I love you " (Isaiah 43:4)Do you want to know the real truth about your value? In Genesis 1:27 the Bible says, "God created man in His own image." God made you as a reflection of Himself, so don't tell me you're not worth much!
You are God's one-of-a-kind masterpiece. In Psalm 139:13 , David says to God, "You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful." When you believe you're not worth much, you are insulting the One who designed you. From the moment that egg and sperm came together to start your life, you have been God's unique creation! If you don't believe it, look at your fingerprints. There's no one else on earth like you!
