Know Your Worth

How
to determine your worth?
How
to increase your value (worth)?
What
to do with your worth?

The
first question is simple. Knowing your worth is having a high level of self-awareness,
recognizing your skills, and operating with an extraordinary level of honesty
within your life. All of these traits seem simple, but you will be surprised
that many are not familiar or in tune with who they are.
The
second question takes a more in-depth analysis of oneself. One may determine
their worth from a spiritual, financial, and physical standpoint. I am of
the belief that one must use all three at the same time. Determining your
spiritual worth is to align your spiritual being with that of a higher power
through a mental and behavioral worldview. Determining your financial worth
seems to be easy. However, it is not about having the most money. It is about knowing
the amount of money needed to live a lifestyle you are comfortable with and empowering
yourself to make or invest that type of money. Lastly, one’s physical health must
be in line with one’s spiritual and financial desires. If you do not have healthy living practices,
what is the point of having a healthy spiritual and financially life?
One
can increase their value through education (both formal and self),
self-discipline, helping others, and just simply taking one step towards their
goals a day. In a world that constantly bombards the
general population with facts, social media content, and advertisement; one may
get very confused and frustrated. My advice is to do some research and try something
that is solid.
The
most important question of these four is ‘what to do with your worth.’ Please,
do not simply sit on your gift. Apply for the right job, start your own
business, go for it, and help
others. Our worth was given to us to share. In Bob Proctor’s book, You Were Born Rich, he states that money
is meant to be in circulation. I believe this is true with money and your
gifts. Money for me is just a example of your gifts. So put your gifts into
circulation.
