WORTH

Worth is defined by Merriam-Webster to mean the value of something measured by its qualities or by the esteem in which it is held. Almost every time I drive to Newport Coast on the toll road, I see a Lamborghini. When that amazing car races past me I think to myself is that really worth $200,000. That comment in my head is usually followed by who would pay that much for a car?

The answer to the above stated question is the guy driving that beast would pay $200,000 for that car. The driver clearly has the resources but also sees the worth. Self-worth is no different. When we don’t see our self as having worth, we set a course for self-destruction.

Here are a few tips on valuing yourself appropriately:

1. Discount your own opinion. The voice you hear and judge yourself with is rarely encouraging.
2. Don’t shy away from a compliment. When someone compliments you, don’t relegate it to the sidelines. Embrace it.
3.  Stay positive. It cost the same to be optimistic about the future as it does to be a pessimist. It takes discipline but it is entirely possible to rewire your brain and turn negative thoughts into excitement towards the future.

Know your worth,
