Understanding Your True Value
Greetings, beautiful souls! Today I’m guided with a message another powerful message from Spirit. Today’s topic resonates deeply with us all: "Knowing Your Worth!"
All my life I’ve been riddled with emotional swings about my value, and worth due to my experiences in life. Small voices of “You can’t do that”, “Nobody cares about me” and “You’re weird” haunted me until they ended up in my head. A lot of my thoughts about myself were nothing more than a mirror illusion of someone else’s reality of me. Now I don’t kid myself in thinking or believing that I hadn’t shown up acting an ass in some scenarios to give people a reason to think that my worth and value were low, but at the core of my being that just wasn’t who I was. I was simply acting out some sort of false sense of self, based on how I felt about myself at the time.
It’s easy to do, but it doesn’t equal the sum of a lifetime of good deeds. It’s called mistakes or better yet lessons for a reason and they’re always here to be the greatest teacher.
I came to this level of understanding again recently, I felt like my accomplishments were not being appreciated at my job. Immediately I was flooded with insecurities because I felt like I wasn’t good enough I went right back to being that little kid, that was made to feel less than or not very important. I took my lunch break to do some inner reflection and this is what I came up with.
The Essence of Self-Worth
In this fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in seeking validation from others. Whether it’s through relationships, social media, or professional accolades, we often look outside ourselves for reassurance of our value. But today, I want to remind you of a profound truth: your worth is intrinsic and can’t be replaced, it is priceless.
The Danger of External Validation
Depending on others to affirm your worth can lead to compromising your own beliefs and values. When you rely on external validation, you may find yourself:
Staying in unhealthy relationships: Seeking approval can make you tolerate behavior that doesn’t align with your standards.
Lowering your standards: Over time, you might start to accept less than what you deserve just to feel validated.
Misaligning with your goals: Allowing others to dictate your worth can steer you away from your true path and desired manifestations.
Holding the Flame Within
Instead of looking outward for validation, turn inward. Hold that flame of self-worth within yourself.
Here are a few steps to maintain your inner value:
Self-Awareness: Regularly check in with yourself. Reflect on your goals, values, and what makes you feel truly worthy.
Affirmations: Practice daily affirmations that reinforce your worth. Remind yourself of your unique strengths and contributions.
Boundaries: Set and maintain healthy boundaries that protect your energy and well-being.
Self-Care: Engage in activities that nurture your soul and reinforce your self-worth, whether it’s through meditation, creative pursuits, or spending time in nature.
Community: Surround yourself with people who uplift and support your journey towards recognizing and embracing your worth.
Aligning with Your True Self
When you hold your worth within, you move in alignment with your goals and manifestations. You make decisions based on what’s best for you, not on what others think or expect. This alignment not only brings peace but also attracts the right opportunities and relationships into your life.
Remember, your worth is not determined by anyone else. It is a sacred, inherent part of who you are. As you embrace this truth, you’ll find a deeper sense of peace and empowerment that guides you toward fulfilling your highest potential.
Stay true to yourself, and never let anyone dim your light.
Peace and blessings,
Goddess Z

I need this message over and over! The promise of external validation is never kept...but sure does have a hold over me.
Reading this just reminded me of something I shared about two months ago on authentic living. Indeed depending on external validation is driving people crazy out here. Our worth is more than that, it's bigger than we've ever imagined. Indeed when we find it, our lives become better.
