Celebrating Your Worth

Some of you may not know that July is my birthday month and I am celebrating all month long. Last week I kicked off my birthday celebration by celebrating “life” and asked that each of you join me. As I continue celebrating this week, I would like to celebrate you. That’s right, you, the person that is reading this article right now. Not just you, but your worth, your being.

Let me share with you why it’s important that we celebrate our “worth” which is not measured by what we do, nor calculated by the degree of what we possess. Our worth is a function of our being. And our being is colorless, genderless and believe it or not, ageless. Our being is worthy of honor, admiration, respect and of course, celebration. It is a vessel of love and light. Beneath all the things that you have told yourself, been told about yourself, maybe even hold against yourself, there is a being that you must learn to honor, value and embrace and even celebrate. It doesn’t take much to learn how to do it, and it is well worth the effort. How you learn to “be” with yourself and how you honor the being that you are will ultimately determine how worthy you feel.

Celebrate your being. Don’t be harsh with your being. Don’t waste your time regretting things you have done or ways you have been. If you take a nice, long, slow deep breath, you will feel the truth of your being; now exhale slowly. Sit in the stillness that is sure to fall over your being while you silently remind your being of its worth and value to the world. This simple practice will put you in touch with all of the love, light, joy and inspiration you need in the world. This simple practice allows you to embrace your being.

In learning to embrace your being, don’t look at your mistakes. It’s a given that we will all make some mistakes in life. It’s a given that you will make inappropriate choices for inappropriate reasons. They will in no way affect your worth. No matter what you say or what you do, nothing can minimize the worth of your being. Your worth is a gift from God. Your worth is a gift of grace.

God established the worth of our being when we were given the gift of life. Embrace it, celebrate it.
