Self Worth is an Inside Job

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Many times we look outside of ourselves for our self worth. We feel our value comes from our jobs, what we do for a living, from our partners, family or friends, on how many things we do for them, how happy they seem to be with us after we do those things. Sometimes our self worth comes from being a rescuer, caretaker, provider, people pleaser, from how many things we have or can get, the home we live in, the kind of car we drive, how hard and how many hours we work. We attach self value to how much money we make, how many diplomas or degrees we have, or even how much crisis we can handle.

There are 2 flaws in this "outer worth." One is that whatever we did to get that feeling of self value, or of feeling good about ourselves we will have to continue doing to maintain and keep it. And that is when you have handed over your power, your value to someone or something else.

The second flaw is Self Esteem, Self Worth, Self Value, Self Respect all have one word in common: SELF.
So today decide to take your power back and be in charge of yourSELF.
