What Is Our Value
We often spend so much time working on our outer appearances, that we fail to put our best efforts towards our Self Esteem. The term self esteem, means to regard one's self with value and respect. In order to regard ourselves with respect,we must first learn to "value" our God-given gifts and talents.

Gifts & Talents
Everyone is born with their own innate gifts, making their individual contributions to the world. We could not have a complete and functioning society if everyone was the same.

Value in the Garden
We stand apart from others by being our individual best, and not spending too much time comparing ourselves to others. For example: When we see a beautiful garden, we normally view it as a whole, until we take a closer look to smell a particular flower. Then we realize that roses smell different than daisies, as do hyacinths and lavender; but they are all pleasing to someone.

Each flower in the garden has its own value. Some people don't like the smell of roses, but prefer the clean scent of lavender. Well, the same holds true in our society concerning our value. It's important for us to remember this point when comparing ourselves to others. You are a different and unique flower in the garden, who has its own special value.

BE UNIQUE.....NURTURE YOUR GIFTS.....
LOVE YOURSELF

Validate Yourself
Making a list of our many positive traits enables us to validate our own self worth. We therefore need less validation and approval from others. And that feels great! Especially, if our friends, or family members are incapable of giving us positive feedback, or support. Give it to yourself!

You deserve the very best!
