What Are You Worth?

15 Jul What Are You Worth?

Don’t just say “a lot.”

Even if you stretch your arms out to show me how much—

that “a lot” still has limitations.

Please, sit with this question and really think deeply.

How much are you worth?

You already know the price of gold.

You know the cost of designer handbags, luxury cars, and fine jewelry.

You recognize their value without argument, right?

Shoot – even the people selling them know their worth!

• They handle them with care.
• They protect them.
• They place them behind glass.
• They might even wear gloves just to move them.
• They don’t let just anybody touch them.
• And they definitely don’t drop the price just because someone wants it but can’t afford it.

Because they understand this:

Lowering the price doesn’t increase the value—

it only just makes you look cheap.

So…

Shouldn’t you know your worth, too?

Shouldn’t you handle yourself with that same care?

With that same cleanliness?

That same intentionality?

Shouldn’t you start setting healthy boundaries like glass – clear, firm, and not meant to be broken? 

Maybe it’s time to stop letting just anybody have access to you.

Maybe… it’s time to stop lowering your price – emotionally, spiritually, mentally – just because someone wants you but isn’t willing to rise to meet you.

Because let’s be real for a second: Just because someone wants you doesn’t mean they value you. Attention is easy to get – but real care takes intention.

Pro Tip:

You teach people how to treat you by the way you treat yourself. (Crazy, right?)

If you act like you’re disposable, those people will start believing it too.

I mean, why should anybody see your worth…when you act like it’s not even there?

So again, I ask you:

What are you worth? Don’t say it—show it.

• What are you worth? 
• With your standards.
• With your choices.
• With your silence.
• With your healthy boundaries. (I gotta emphasize this.)
• With your peace of mind.

Because when you finally know your worth…

you’ll stop settling for less.

You’ll finally stop overgiving. (Yes, unfortunately this is a thing, and you’ve done it before.)

You’ll start moving like the rare, sacred, priceless thing that you are!

So don’t just read this and scroll. Sit with it. All week if you have to.

Ask yourself these questions:

• In what areas of my life am I underselling my worth?
• Is it in my current relationship?
• Is it in that dating arena?
• At work?
• With family?
• In my friendships?
• Or is it in my own business?

And most importantly:

What am I ready to change—today?

Because once you know who you are… and all that you carry…you’ll never live like you once did.
