As hard as we try to find our place under the sun, our worth are almost always associated with what we can do or cannot do. On what we achieve or cannot achieve. People put you in a pedestal if you have something to offer, if you have power, if you have money or if they can get something from your existence.

If you have power you belong to the elite, if you don't then you are just an ordinary , and if you are poor.. you are treated as nobody. That's what our society demand from us. That's how they are classifying us.

Self-Worth

So how are we going to counter or block what the society demand from us? How are we going to focus on what we want to achieve without being pressured by the outside forces? How are we going to know our WORTH without being tagged or classified by our society.

Self-worth as defined by Merriam -Webster ; is a feeling that you are good person who deserves to be treated with respect.

Through our ability to do certain things, the effort we exert into it resulting to an excellent perfomance can we achieve the goal that we wanted. We were able to feel self-worth because of our hardwork.

Though it is unfortunate sometimes that in our recent era. We place so much emphasis on our achievements. In competing with others to find our self-worth. We have become so attached in achieving comforts and luxuries in life that we sometime forget the values in respecting and caring for others would it be our parents, relatives or friends.

Where we are under the Sun?

Reaching our goals in life or what we have listed in our " Bucket List" feels good but may not define us , as what we are as a human being .

It does'nt matter what job , proffession or field we are into. You could be the best Mentor or Teacher, a loving Full-time Mom and Wife. A great Doctor, Engineer or Entrepreneur. The most diligent Helper or Laborer. A kind hearted Nanny or Caregiver. Whatever field or job you are into as long as "YOU DO IT WELL" then " YOU ARE WORTHY".

Beauty will fade as we aged . No matter what are looks and color are , it won't change the fact how we are inside. The goodness in our heart will lasts and be remembered even when we parted into this world. It does not matter how many friends we have but the quality of our relationships is what really important. Kindness , compassion and respect for others truly matters.

No amount of money can determine our Self-worth . We must always remember that we don't need approval of others, likes on our social media accounts to prove our worth.

In Conclusion

Accepting who we are, knowing what we want , accepting our own flaws, loving and embracing what we are can help us see our importance in our society. Telling ourselves " I AM VALUABLE" not because of how society sees me but simply because i know "I AM VALUABLE" i am "WORTHY" just like others.

I have my place under the sun that is just " FOR ME". A place that the Almighty has reserved long before " JUST FOR ME".
