Our value is not determined by what other people think of us

 

Our value is not determined by what other people think of us

Our value is not determined by what others think of us. 

Think of a diamond, what makes a diamond valuable?  It is unique, one of a kind, valuable and beautiful.  We are no different than a diamond  We are unique, one of a kind, valuable and beautiful.  Our value is not determined by what others think of us. Our value is determined by what we think of ourselves. 

Our value does not change by what other people think of us!

What happens if you throw a diamond in the garbage, is it still a diamond?

What happens if you throw the diamond in the mud, is it still a diamond?

Does its value change? It's worth? Of course it doesn't!  

Do you think a diamond cares if you yell and scream at it and tell it that it is not beautiful?  What if you told the diamond that it was worthless? A loser?  Ugly? Fat? Disgusting? 

The diamond could care less what you think of it.

Our value does not change! What others think of us does not matter! We are unique, loved, valuable, one of a kind - there is nobody else on this planet exactly like us.  

Accept the fact that you are different than everyone else, because it is true.  We are all different from one another and that is what makes us unique and beautiful.

God loves you and he asks you to love yourself and your neighbor as yourself.  Even when you feel unloved, know this, God loves you and he will never abandon you. 

Therefore, just as God does not judge you for your external appearance, let us too not judge one another by how they look. 

Remember, you are as valuable as a diamond.  Your one of a kind, unique, beautiful and valuable just the way you are.  

Stop trying to be something your not (square peg in a round hole). Be exactly who your are. Show your true colors. Live honestly and with integrity and stop caring so much what other people think of you.  Truth is, they probably aren't thinking of you at all.

Now go out and have a great day and live your like knowing your value is not on the line, your value does not change and your value is determined by you and you alone.  Nobody gets to determine your value but you and you alone!
