How Your Unique Value Is Actually Your Awesome Worth

Put yourself in the shoes of some of the greatest “givers” in history.  People like Rosa Parks; Tiananmen Square Tank Man; Ryan White; The Passengers on Flight 93 on 9/11/01 to name just a few.

How would you like to feel you were worth more to everybody around you as each of the above people clearly were?  I would think you would feel pretty good if that were the case!

Maybe the title to this post should be asking the question, Why are you worthless? Or, How do you measure your worth?

Forget answering the first question.  I’ll answer it for you.  You’re not worthless…you’re a priceless human being! 

It's important you have an answer to the second question, though. The reason is if you don't know your worth (your value), you have no basis for giving to others. If you don't give to others, you truly are worth less…not worthless…worth less to them and yourself.

You must get yourself to a point in life where your sense of giving far outweighs your sense of receiving. It's the adage, the more you give the more you get!

It sounds contradictory, but the fact is your true abundance lies in the worth or value you distribute to others.

By the way, I'm not reserving these observations only to your material worth. While material wealth can be very helpful to yourself and others, it is not the only measure of your worth.

Put it in the perspective of an unknown author.

"The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money."

I ask you: What's your worth…your value to your fellow human beings?  Define your unique value (it’s there but only you can put forth the effort to find it). 

Then, give it away. 

What is the first step you will take to make your presence in the world worth more?
