Own Your Worth : Recognize Your Greatness
There was a time in my life when I didn’t truly understand my own worth. I allowed myself to endure things I never should have—whether it was in relationships, jobs, or even my own self-doubt. I thought that love was supposed to hurt, that I had to fight for it no matter what. I believed that just because someone was a good person, I was supposed to accept treatment that wasn’t right for me. I convinced myself that settling was better than being alone, but the truth is, that person simply wasn’t meant for me.
I carried this belief into other areas of my life, too. At work, I accepted whatever was thrown my way because I needed the paycheck so badly. I didn’t realize that I was adding value to the job, that I was the prize.
Why wasn’t I expecting the same level of excellence from them that they expected from me? Why was I not demanding the respect and support I deserved?
And when it came to making decisions, especially new ones, I didn’t trust myself. I was afraid because I’d never done it before. But then I remembered—God gave me the vision, and that means I’m worthy of trying.
What if this decision turns out to be just as amazing as I imagined in my head? What if it’s even better?
We often let our past mistakes, family dynamics, or wrong choices make us feel unworthy. But please, know this: from the moment you were born, you were worthy. Your worth isn’t determined by what you do, what you wear, or how much you give to others. You are worthy simply because you are you.
