A Reminder of Your Worth

Dear soul who stumbled upon this page,

Do you know of your light?

Do you know that just by walking into a room, your presence is a blessing to all those around you?

Do you know that just by breathing, you are giving such a gift to this world?

Just by being alive, you are doing this world an immense favor.

Just by existing, you are benefiting humanity.

So…

how are you doing right now?

How did reading those words affect you?

Did they cause some resistance in you?

If so, perhaps you have forgotten your worth, or need a reminder that you have so much worth.

Let this article be a reminder of your immeasurable worth.

When did you forget your undeniable worth?

Was it as a child, when people might have conditioned you into believing the lie that you're not enough as your authentic, beautiful self?

Was it as a teenager, when the social pressure of fitting in and being accepted trumped your need to honor yourself?

Or could it be now, as you try to fit in this world and adapt to the rush of adult life, trying to find a center as your worries pull you away from your sense of worth?

This lack of worth you might be feeling right now has been a culmination of conditioning that you've developed through living this human experience.

I know you didn't consciously ask for this unhealthy conditioning.

Instead, you are asking to consciously unlearn what you learned as a child: unlearning the idea that you don't have worth.

The fact that you clicked on this article is evidence that you are willing to take the steps to unlearning this conditioning.

So, now to the purpose of this article:

a reminder of your worth.

You (yes, you) are incredibly worthy beyond measure.

Nothing you do, nothing you say, nothing that you are will change the fact that you have worth and are worthy of happiness.

For your worth was given to you when you were born.

And nothing can take that away.

Nothing.

Your worth came to you with your breath, and will stay with you throughout this lifetime as you breathe, exist, and walk this life on this Earth.

It will never leave you.

Even if you don't believe you have it, it is still there.

For every living being in this universe has worth.

Including you…

especially you.

Don't you see it?

Don't you see that you are deserving of all the beautiful, fulfilling things life has to offer?

Don't you know that you deserve it all?

Because: you are alive.

You deserve every bit of all that your heart truly desires, and you are worthy of receiving every bit of it all.

You have worth, I promise you.

It is attached to your soul and can never be stripped away. No mistake, no decision, no ounce of self-hate, can ever strip you away of your worth which is innate, just like your existence is innate.

Please believe me.

Please believe in yourself.

It's time to acknowledge the worth you've forgotten along this life path.

It's time to understand that you are worthy beyond measure, and that your worth can never be measured against other people's worth, because your worth is something that isn't more or less than any other person's worth.

It's time you understand.

It's time you unlearn beliefs that are no longer serving you.

It's time for you to remember your worth.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
