Self-worth has a lot to do, with purpose! Reaching beyond one’s self, could be a hiding place for self-worth. Just think about that thought! Going beyond “Purpose!”
Yes, we are wives and mothers. Lots of purpose being a wife and a mother; doing, and being for others. But, isn’t all that, expected of us? We are constantly doing and giving, for our family’s benefit. Lots of self-worth being a mother, but it is what is expected of us; right?
Tell me, what happens when we reach out, and do something that isn’t expected of us? Awareness plays a big part in this kind of thinking, and doing! So, doing something that isn’t expected of us, does what?
Something has become personal. I have done something that has nothing to do with my family; or a duty. Somehow, my life has taken on more value; more color! My time has become a gift I can give. In the process, having gifted myself with self-worth; and a smiley face!
Do you find that concept interesting? “I do!” Our/my time has come to my realization that it is the most precious thing I can give. We can always make more money, buy ourselves more stuff, but self-worth has to do with our time! And, we can’t make more of that!
We can only take care of ourselves, and be aware of where, our self-worth really comes from. So, where does our self-worth begin? What would you say?
