Only you can determine your true value.

It’s not about external approval. It’s about the impact you make in the lives of others and the world around you.

Reflect on how your actions, kindness, and support uplift people. Consider the positive differences you bring — whether it’s through small daily gestures, sharing knowledge, or inspiring others.

Your worth grows from meaningful connections and contributions, not just achievements and possessions.

When doubts arise, look to the ways you have helped and encouraged others. Those traces are the real measure of your value.

Embracing this mindset empowers you to recognize that your true worth comes from the unique difference you make every day.

EXERCISE:

The book “The Gift of Imperfection” by Brene Brown is a wonderful resource to help people embrace vulnerability to build greater authenticity and self-worth. Please give it a read and consider discussing its powerful ideas with others in your communities.

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

How often do you take the time to listen to your heart?

Today’s quote seems very timely due to the state of our country and the world.

How do we know what’s right when we make important decisions as members of our families, communities, or our nation?

How can and will we add our own heart’s message to the important decisions that affect us all?

EXERCISE:

How do you and can you contribute your own bit of good to the world and honor the worth of each and every life?

What is a day worth? If you were to calculate the monetary value of one full revolution of planet Earth, what would the exact value be?

The professional service providers who are my coaching clients often bill out at hourly rates. Just to make the math simple for this example, we’ll assume a rate of $200/hour. One 24-hour day would be worth $4,800.

Add that to the qualitative value you attribute to each day you spend with family, friends, and colleagues, engaged in enjoyable and meaningful pursuits.

EXERCISE:

Based on the scenario above, select a number which represents the value you attribute to a single day. As you look at today and look forward to tomorrow, how will you spend your “life equity” to make the most of this miracle called life?
