Your Worth Never Diminishes, For Realsy

I had an epiphany not that long ago, it’s the title of this article:

Your worth never diminishes, ever. Period. Full stop. End of message.

"Our worth is constant. No matter what we do or do not do, our worth, our value as living beings is always the same: high and ever lasting."

We develop this erroneous belief (usually in youth, yes it’s your parents fault)*, that our worth, our self esteem, our ability to be loved, cared for, treated with dignity and respect, opportunities for happiness and success are dependent on being perfect. Being how someone else wants us to be. Being how we think we ‘should’ be.

You know what we spend countless years of our lives doing after this belief explodes on our minds and impacts most of the decisions we make? We try to remember a fundamental truth. Our worth is constant. No matter what we do or do not do, our worth, our value as living beings is always the same: high and ever lasting.

Our world likes to create haves and have-nots. People deserving good and people deserving bad. We create this world because it is how we make sense of the things that do not make sense. Bad things happening to good people, good things happening to bad people. Why we don’t receive something we wanted. Why someone takes something we wanted. Why someone gives us something we wanted. And so on...

I don’t subscribe to the belief that life is random; it doesn’t appear that way to me or to others. Too many things happen in too many magical ways, like timing, the fusion of desires and people in a way that gives me the impression meaning exists in how life turns out.

However…

That does not mean that our interpretations have ever been correct.

The shy girl doesn’t deserve to be ignored.

The unruly child doesn’t deserve a bruising punishment.

Pretty people don’t deserve designer bags.

Good people don’t deserve a life free of all distress.

Your terrible family doesn’t deserve to be hit by a train.

Child soldiers aren’t deserving of mercy or death.

Their worth never changes, just our perceptions of their worth based on their actions.

"You decide your value, no one else has the right to do it for you."

The same holds true for you, now today, and tomorrow too. Your value as a living being never changes. You’re breathing, you’re thinking, you’re surviving, you’re struggling, you’re celebrating a triumph. You make decisions that have ‘good’ consequences. You make decisions that have ‘bad’ consequences sometimes too.

And guess what? Your worth never changes. You are as beautiful as the day you were born and you’ll be that brilliantly beautiful until the last breathe you take.

You decide your value, no one else has the right to do it for you.

Choose high worth, from now and forever more.

*While it is there fault, it is your responsibility to deal and heal. Fairness has nothing to do with it. They can not take back what was or was not done. They can’t re-arrange your mind. That is an inside job.
