“Our sense of self-worth is the single most important determinant of the health, abundance, and joy we allow into our lives.”
-Dan Millman
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you evaluate your sense of self-worth? Think about that for a moment...
self-worth: /noun/
a sense of one’s own value as a human being.
the internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others.
confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect.
the value you give to your life and achievements.
What evidence led you to determine your self-worth score when you answered the previous question?
In the book Until Today, Iyanla Vanzant states:
What you tell yourself you are, you will be. What you allow yourself to be reflects what you have told yourself you are.
What have you been telling yourself? take the time to sit with this question...
Perhaps today is the day that you will find the courage and strength to start being worthy.
worthy /adjective/
of commendable excellence or merit; deserving:
a person of eminent worth, merit, or position:
having adequate or great merit, character, or value:
Life is about moving through, moving on, growing up, and growing through each and every experience… examination, elimination, adjustments, changes and re-creation…
“Only make decisions that support your self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth.”
-Oprah Winfrey
Today’s Challenge: From Iyanla Vanzant's Until Today...
