How do we determine our own value? I have been thinking so much about self-worth lately. How can you know when you are worthwhile? It seems like so many people I meet are striving for something. They KNOW that when they get there they will be happy. If they are just skinny enough, rich enough, pretty enough, strong enough, smart enough and funny enough, they will be happy. Sounds great, right? How do we determine what is enough? Who created this measuring stick anyway? It really makes me wonder about this because no matter how great things in life are, it seems that no one ever really feels like they have enough of something or are good enough. What if in this moment, you felt as though you were enough? I would be willing to bet that the rest of those items on the measuring stick wouldn’t matter so much. If you finally felt like you were worthwhile as is, you wouldn’t need to look a certain way, make a certain amount of money or be an entertaining genius. My challenge to you is to say to yourself that you are enough just as you are. Even if you only believe it for a moment, in that moment, you will finally feel peace.
