Focusing on Your Self-Worth

As your Transition Coach, I focus on the genius within you.  I stress that it is extremely important to reinforce your self worth by taking deliberate action and listening to the soft voice within you. On the road to your dreams, I encourage you to appreciate yourself, to treat yourself with kindness and compassion, to defend your personal boundaries, and to be proactive in seeing that your needs are met. 

Each time you share your talents and abilities, explore new territory, and broaden your horizons, you are expressing your innate value and worth and your actions serve to move you further on your journey.

For a greater understanding of how and why it is so important to acknowledge your self worth, read a great article from the DailyOM website.

The author helps us to distinguish between our self-worth and our self-esteem.  We are told that our self-esteem measures how we are feeling about ourselves at a particular point in time. Our self-worth, on the other hand, is immeasurable and unchanging.  Your self worth is not connected to your intelligence, your skills, your abilities or your accomplishments and can not be diminished by your trials and tribulations and deserves more acknowledgement. 

Too many of us focus on our self esteem and ignore our self worth.  Our actions can reinforce our sense of self-worth.

The author says, "By regularly acknowledging your self-worth, you can ensure that you never forget what an important, beloved, and special part of the universe you are."  Read the entire article and realize there is Hope for us all.  Our failures and disappointments may damage our self esteem but our self worth is never tarnished and needs to be recognized.

Susan Boyle, is one woman who never forgot to acknowledge her self worth.  She grew up struggling with learning disabilities, classmates that bullied her and a mother who inspired her to greatness.  I encourage you to link to my blog and read it. If we follow in Susan’s footsteps, we realize that there are no excuses. If Susan Boyle can believe in herself, so can we!  You and I are called to step up, step out and to give voice to our dreams. I hope you will agree with me.  It is time to claim our gifts, our talents and our self-worth!
