The day you realize your self-worth is a priceless awakening. It marks the beginning of a transformative journey, a shift in perspective that shapes the trajectory of your life. Yet, as we discover our uniqueness, why do we forget to levy a tax on our intrinsic jewels and richness? Listen, establish value and add a little bit more on top.
I was recently complaining to a friend about fears of falling short. We were talking about a crafting project, but during the conversation I realized he was highlighting a universal truth. Without hesitation, he called my products flawless. That gave me pause. His perspective was from the other side of my work. The results. I was too focused on the tireless hustle and passion that I pour into everything that I love--my family, my job, my hobbies. This blog.
Recognizing your self-worth calls for more than just awareness; it's a daily battle. We live in a world that constantly bombards us with its own standards and expectations, refusing to acknowledge our inherent purpose, value, talents and gifts. And to make matters worse, we can often become our own harshest critic. Adding tax to your worth means consciously acknowledging the extra you bring to every situation—a safeguard, a little extra to cushion against forces trying to diminish your value.
If this resonates with you, refuse to operate as the unseen machine producing widgets, oblivious to the consumer's perspective. Add tax to your worth to create a mindset shift that acknowledges your effort, skills, and uniqueness. In doing so, you not only honor your authenticity but also pave the way for others to recognize and appreciate the richness within themselves.
