What Is Your Worth?

What is your worth? Do you truly understand your worth as a person? When we talk about self-worth, it is not only hinged on the financial value of a person rather it is also and more importantly hinged on your worth i.e. your abilities as a person. Why most of us end up accepting or doing things they should not be seen doing is because we do not know our self-worth.

It is not just enough to go through school and acquires every necessary skill it is the ability to understand what you have inside of you as a person. You may be a first-class graduate but if you do not know the worth of what you have you will end up working as a servant of someone who possibly may not know how to spell his name.

Let me make this article a bit personal. What is your worth? If you at this stage in your life that you do not know and understand what you are worth then I will suggest you visit a counsellor for a quick session which will open your eyes to what you are. Let us look at this scenario, two persons will apply for the same job in the same office with the same qualification but one will be chosen. Why do you think such a thing happen? It is simply because one of the two applicants must have shown some kind of doubt or belief in his self worth and for the person being interviewed, you may not know that your facial expression goes along to affirm whatever answer or response you are giving to your interviewer. This is the reason why you are always advised to look more convincing whenever you are trying to get someone to believe you.

Self-worth has become the worst enemy of so many persons because they do not know that whatever they do will certainly make or mar them in life. This is also evident in most relationships we see today. You will see a man who feels he is not worthy to fall in love with a girl who is more than beautiful. This is a clear sign of low self-esteem which is the easiest way to know someone who does not know his worth. No one wants to date or marry anybody who does not have self-worth the implication is that such a person will always want to limit you from shine brighter than him because of fear of losing you to another person.

You may not have thought about this issue of self-worth but I tell you my dear friends without you having self-worth, people will always take you for granted whether you like it or not. If you find yourself in any environment or establishment and you have noticed that you are always the one person who is asked to do some cleanup jobs, just know that your employer sees you as one who does not have self-worth. Let us look at it this way, we all watch movies right? Now, in a movie where there is a need for a hit to be carried out you will notice that the boss man will send his hitman to go do the job.

This is not just because the hitman is known to be excellent in carrying out his assignments rather it is because the hitman is expendable i.e. if he is unlucky not to make it alive from the assignment, the boss man will get another hitman.

Don’t ever think that being humble means you should take every shit that comes your way. Humility is a virtue that is most times misunderstood. I have seen people who do not react or respond when someone is insulting their personality. If you are among this set of people, you must take a minute and think twice because what you are exhibiting is what I call cowardice of the highest order.

Some also think that being humble means that they should dress shabbily and look unkempt but I tell you, you are giving room for people to insult your personality with no regrets. Just imagine walking into a banquet dressed shabbily, you will be asked to either leave or the kind of treatment you will get may make you leave by yourself.

Knowing your self worth is the key to surviving in life and for any who knows and understands his worth, you will always see how they take charge of every situation because they already know that nothing is beyond human accomplishment. You may be a president, governor, senator, chancellor, an honourable member of your countries hollowed chambers but if you do not have or know your self worth, I bet you will not go farther than where you are at the moment.

Why do you think someone will come and say that he wants to contest for the post of the presidency and all of a sudden, you will see people from a different area of life who never knew that he existed before will gather and rally round him in support to his dreams? That is because he has shown to have self-worth as a person. No one will follow you if you do not have any atom of self-worth or even believe in yourself. Therefore, I urge you today to make a conscious effort to knowing and understanding your worth. Shalom…
