What Am I Worth?

"What am I worth?"
This is a question that many of us, even I, have asked ourselves during this lifetime. Well, what ARE you worth? Nothing.... a lot?
Let me tell you, you are indeed worth a lot. We live in a world where image and fitting in apparently matters. But honey, in reality it doesn't. Since when does someone have to define what clique or stereotype you belong to? Seriously, think about it! WHO defines it? No one should. Everyone goes through their own failures, successes, goals, and experiences in life and there's nothing to it. What you have been through shouldn't define your worth. Just because we all go through different things and have different outcomes, that shouldn't define your place on this Earth.

You're amazing in your own way and you should never doubt yourself. Give yourself more credit than what you give. Realize the impact you have made and also realize the reason as to why you are here. Trust me, there IS a reason, whether it's hard to believe it or not. Life is hard, but you have people around you that care. Whatever higher power you believe in, you're on this Earth for a reason. Again, as I've stated before, you may not know it yet, but you will at some point. You have been a huge impact to other people and you might not even know it. You have a purpose.

No matter what hardships you been through, there is a place to grow. You need to learn from it and you need to know that the past isn't want defines you. It's THE moment you decide how you live your life that will. You will always encounter trials but you have support and you have to realize that you are so blessed.
To those reading this right now, I don't know you, but I know you are amazing. You have a purpose. You have so many things in your life to smile about and people that are there throughout your life (and if you truly feel like you do not, you have this website that you can always turn to when is needed ;)). Once you realize the worth you contain (which is A LOT) you will start seeing how great your life is.

I can tell you a bunch of times how great you are, but it won't do much until you realize that for yourself. You have to get to the point in life where you live for YOU. You live for those who LOVE you. For those YOU love. You can't let negativity DEFINE how you'll live the rest of your life.

Like my motto has always been, "Live.Laugh.Love."

"Outer" Disabilities

We all have disabilities, whether it's visible or not. If we all have disabilities, why don't we stop all the judging? We are all equal. We might have different types of lifestyles, personalities, and races, but aside from all that, there is one word that defines that we're all equal: Human. We could look at someone across the street in a wheelchair and we automatically think, "That person can't do anything themselves." or "That person needs special treatment, so let me go and see what I can do to help." When we see a classmate who finishes their assignment later than everyone else we may think,"That person doesn't get the assignment." or "They're dumb." or "Wow. They need a tutor." It hurts to see how we sometimes think something and treat others different. I try my best to not judge, and it would be nice that everyone could do the same.

 If you have an "outer" disability (one that is physical and easy to see), just know that you are not alone. There are others with a disability, who are going through the same feelings as you. Don't be thinking you are alone, because truth is, you will never be alone. Don't get discouraged if you see someone achieve their goals and you haven't been able to get to that point yet. Your dreams can be achieved as well, and you can have the same opportunities, and even much more if you put your mind to it. You are the same as everyone else. You can be anything you want to be, and can do anything you want just as long as you put the same effort as others do. Don't let others get in the way of what can make you happy. Try to surround yourself with people who can support you and give you wise advice, and again, don't let people get in the way of your dreams, and don't get discouraged.Just think of your disability as a blessing. Without that "blessing" you wouldn't be where you are now. With your knowledge of your disability, show others it is possible and use your knowledge to guide others who are lost.
