“Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.”
-Beyonce’
So when you look at yourself in the mirror do you see yourself as someone who is beautiful inside and out? Do you feel good enough to make a difference in this world? Are you worthy? My sincere hope is that you said yes to all three. At the end of the day your opinion and only yours alone is all that matters. The Grammy award winning artist and actress Beyonce’ says it so eloquently and is spot on in today’s quote which is something I feel we need to be reminded of more often that not.
It is so concerning as a parent and as an educator that not only today’s youth but those that are my age and/or older have been consumed by social media and allowing those that in all honesty don’t matter, those that tell them whether they are worthy are not based on what they post or what they look like. People should be building one another up and not tearing them down. There is enough bad things happening and this type of behavior only adds fuel to the fire of negativity.
No one should have the ability to infiltrate your thoughts and feelings about you and who you are. We all have a purpose. We were put on this planet for a reason. You are beautiful inside and out. Never let anyone tell you different. The world is a better place just by having you in it. Always remember that you hold all of the cards as it relates to your own self worth. Recognize all the good you do and will continue to do. You are a shining light to all those you have the chance to influence. It is up to you whether you play that hand of knowing your self worth. And if you do, it will come up as all aces if you believe in yourself and all you have to offer.
What does this quote mean to you and how can you apply today’s message towards developing your responsible decision making skills?
