You’re worth your Weight in Gold

How much are you worth?

If I was literally worth my weight in gold, I would be worth over one and a half million dollars!

The saying “You’re worth your weight in gold” means that you are valuable, and if there’s one piece of advice that self-help proponents or guides and others will give you, it will be to see your own worth, and not to de-value yourself. It has only taken me about 55 years to say to myself:

Even the most “successful” and happiest of us may one day sometime feel a lack of worth or a lack of confidence or lack of belief in good things. It’s hard to like yourself when your Life has been full of struggle and Life gets you beat.

However, it’s important to keep your head above water, so to speak, by making sure that inner spark or the core essence that you are, is safe and un-touched by external circumstances.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.

13th century Persian Poet Rumi’s advice above, to me, means that not only am I drop in the ocean and what affects me affects others, and vice versa, but that the entire field of possibilities are present. My thoughts and feelings and perspectives of all create my own World and as long as I BELIEVE that I will feel self-worth (even if I am on a low) that flame will guide me toward it.

In other words, make a goal or a resolution to feel worthy and you will.

How can you see looking through those tears? Don’t you know you’re worth your weight in gold?

Lyrics from the song “Live it Up” by Mental as Anything

So next time you’re feeling down or useless or un-wanted, remember the following Diamond You:

And remember that YOU are an essential piece of the puzzle.

Don’t say “Nay” say:

“Hey, I’m worth my weight and more in gold”

Being creative helped me a lot to get through the difficult times. For example, I designed a “virtual Peace Beads bracelet” ! There’s a program available where you can have fun creating your own messages & then share them. Visit my website “Peace in Practice” to make your Peace message.

You can design your own PEACE BEADS online by clicking HERE.

Let someone else know they are “one of a kind, worth their weight in gold”
