Has anyone every stopped and asked you what you are worth? Better yet, have you asked yourself what you are worth? If your answer is, I don’t know. My recommendation is that you take a good look in the mirror and evaluate yourself.
Do I look pretty or handsome?
I always say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Why, because when I look in the mirror, I see all the wonderful things that make up who I am. Equally, I know I am a good person. By the same token,I know I have have a big heart. Of course, I know I make mistakes. Not to mention, I know I can laugh at myself. Furthermore, I know I impact and help others. See to me these qualities are the beauty that resonates inside me. Expressing these qualities and showing others this quality only happens over time. These are attractive qualities. So if you are attracted to me, I can’t help it. It’s in my nature.
Could I lose a few pounds?
Looking into the mirror, I notice that I’m overweight. Especially when step on the scale and your BMI says “obese”. LOL. All of that can change with the right mind set, diet plan and exercise. I really don’t have any excuse besides the fact that I have stretch marks on my stomach from the muscle elasticity when my stomach grew out to the size of a basketball when I was pregnant. Scars from a couple of surgeries. Taking care of everyone else before taking care of myself. Let’s not forget good old genetics and the wonderful world of motherhood. As I go thru my midlife crisis, I miss the younger days but now it’s my time to focus on Sheri.
If I only had money?
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. Look, to each his own, but I am not into plastic surgery. If we could all look like barbie dolls that would be boring. Your outer shell tells a story about you. The wonderful creation of you. Are we a product of our environment? Will money solve my weight problem? Maybe, it would allow me to pay more money for the good quality food. It might help pay for a gym membership and possibly a personal trainer. While this sounds all great, we truly can go for a walk everyday. We can do sit ups, push-ups, meditation, etc in the comfort of our own homes. Basically what I am saying is that we cannot use money as an excuse for why we do or do not do something. If there is a will, there is a way.
Am I worth it?
Well are you worth it? Only you can answer this question about your self worth. All I can tell you is that, when you know and feel your worth, it don’t matter what others say about you. This is why I focus a lot of my efforts on being grounded and knowing my roots. You stand tall and stronger in your self when you have firm roots.
