Your Self Worth Makes Your Net Worth

Your Self Worth Makes Your Net Worth

"As the World Turns" once nixed Hugh Grant. "Santa Barbara" deemed Julia Roberts "dull." Sharon Stone was rejected by "General Hospital."—From Michael Levine’s Breaking News

Donna called me the day after class. Intelligent and warm, I enjoyed meeting her and was glad she enrolled in my financial workshop. She worked selling advertising for a small publication and wanted to increase her sales and income. I wondered why she seemed a bit anxious that first night as each participant introduced themselves. Now on the phone, she explained.
“Last night, listening to the other people talk about their goals, I didn’t feel I belonged in the group. I felt their goals were so much higher than mine; that they were smarter, better, more experienced—more whatever—than me.
“But I had a realization as I walked down the hill to my car. When I arrived for your class, I had parked at the bottom of the hill, thinking that others would have gotten there first and taken all the convenient parking spaces. But I was the first to arrive! Why did I assume that others would be there before me? Why did I park at the bottom and walk up that steep hill without even trying to see if I could park at the top?
“I saw that this was a metaphor of how I have been living my life. I have assumed that others will take the top spots, so I automatically settle for the inconvenient place, the lesser place—and lesser income, too. But now that I’ve seen it, I’m going to stop it. I will find my space at the top of the hill from now on.”
Do you park at the bottom of hills? Do you take a back seat, let others do the talking, let others get the clients, the sales, and the cash? Who told you to do that? Who told you that you had to go last? The little child inside us needs nurturing and support as much as the little child in our arms. We don’t encourage others to shine when we hide our own light. Let us strive to be the best we can be, and empower others to do the same. Let us all look for the top of the hill. And if today, you don’t get the premium space, oh well, there’s another day tomorrow. We can fail sometimes and be last sometimes. But we don’t have to settle for last as our default position every time. At least drive up the hill and look around. You may find you’re the first one up there after all.
If you’re working at home on your own, you have to fight inner demons as well as the outer ones. You have to stay focused on positive thoughts in order to have positive outcomes. The first positive is you. You are the only you on the planet and there are people out there just praying for you to show up. They want what you have to give and will pay you richly for it. But you have to reach out and ask. To do that you need confidence in your self-worth, which is what it takes to produce your net-worth. You are worthy, worth while and worth it! You wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t. You can do anything you want. Fill your mind with positive statements, repeat affirmations, listen to encouraging audio tapes, read enlightening books.

See you at the top of the hill.
