Our Worth

Why is it so hard for some of us to see our own worth...our value...our goodness...for some of us its a daily struggle to rise above the negative self images...that seem to perpetuate our thoughts...we search for our value in the eyes of others... we are starving to be affirmed by those around us...we seek our validation in ways that prove our talent...our skills...our abilities....we seek this validation but we seek it in the wrong places...Until we get the revelation ourselves...we will continue to question our own worth...and will continued to be swayed by the opinions of others...Its only when we truly realize that we are absolutely beautiful...not because of our looks...not because of our abilities...not because of things we have done...we are beautiful because of who we are...simply beautiful...created beautiful....

kristy-

I think that it takes a lot of work on ourselves to finally see our worth.. to realize that what is beneath 'the story'..and just truly accept ourselves as we are. Learning to accept ourselves is ultimately freeing. It kind of forces us to recognize that what happened to us doesnt define us.. its definitely a freeing feeling to reach the point of acceptance.

It does take a lot of work on our part to see our worth...but it is so worth the work...what we endure is certainly a part of us....to a degree...but it is not who we are...we are amazing, beautiful, talented, intelligently gifted individuals that have so much to offer...because of what we have endured...not in spite of it. For that I am so thankful. I see myself as I am...no longer lacking...just a beautiful person.I pray you see yourself the very same way.
