To Those Who Don't Truly Know Their Self-Worth

You deserve to love yourself and find dignity within yourself.

To Those Who Don't Truly Know Their Self-Worth
Gabriella Gentek

For those of you who do not truly recognize your self-worth, here's something you can learn. You can learn about dignity. Dignity is our worth and value as human beings and once you can recognize what dignity is and learn about it, you will start realizing more about yourself and what your true self-worth means about you. Once you open yourself up to learn about dignity, you'll get this desire to treat yourself well and to have others treat you well. You want to be loved, treated right, listened to, and to be understood by others. We start to feel liberated and full of hope and everyone deserves to feel this way. I went through a time in my life where I did not find dignity within myself; I did not know how to love myself. But, now I have learned how to love myself thanks to learning about dignity and what dignity really is and I hope you can learn too.

Dignity is: the moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing to do you with you intellectually or spiritually.

Dignity is: the moment you realize that God has a bigger plan for you than crying at night.

Dignity is: the moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education, and your parent’s wisdom.

Dignity is: the moment you live your dreams. Not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do.

Dignity is: the moment you realize no one is your enemy, except yourself.

Dignity is: the moment you realize you can have anything in this entire world that you want. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion, and your willingness to risk it all. If it’s not yours it’s because you really don’t want it or need it.

Dignity is: the moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you once loved so dearly. They really do not want you messing up the family line with some self centered person who couldn’t take the time of day to take you seriously or acted anything less than honorable.

Dignity is: the moment you realize happiness was never about getting “the one”. They’re simply a helper towards achieving your life missions for yourself and only yourself.

Dignity is: the moment you believe love is not about winning or losing. It’s just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations that will help you grow from.

Dignity is: the moment you realize you were always the right person and only ignorant people walk away from true greatness.

Do not ever let someone else define your self worth and don't ever belittle yourself. You're an amazing human being. You are always loved and understood by others and you should always love and believe in yourself!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
