The dominant cultural message tells us our worth is based on appearance, status, success, and recognition, making life harsh for many. This world is marked by limitation. Here, actions have consequences, and choices yield results; therefore, we naturally seek ways to gain positive recognition and security.
Physical life is enjoyable when our basic needs are met. When they aren’t, feelings of worthlessness arise, but facing these challenges may reveal the potential for inner fulfillment.
Some believe that life divides us into winners and losers, attributing success solely to individual choices and efforts. This mindset overlooks individual contexts and experiences.
Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that I must earn my worthiness or right to be here, and that the only way to do this is to attend the best schools, wear the finest clothes, possess an Ivy League degree, and have a substantial income? Are you saying that if I don’t have the right stuff, I might as well slide under a rock, curl up in a ball, and wait for death to take me?
Many accept their personal truths, but mine is different. My life, shaped by my unique path and purpose, diverges from the mainstream. I am not alone in this.
Everyone faces different limitations, which can create confusion and questions about survival and worth, urging us to rise or fall.
What appears true may not be; your experience, actions, and meaning-making define your life. Live with authenticity.
While we are connected, we are also diverse. We are none of us the same. We are profoundly unique and individual, and what we have to offer is exceptional as well.
We each have unique contributions. Not everyone is destined for conventional achievements; all are called to meaningful journeys that leave a lasting impact on others.
