Let me start by hitting the nail right on the head.
What you think, makes you!
The way you are, what you do, what you presume is all about you and from your mind. I wouldn’t like to say much in this particular write-up because I have touched on it in different ways in my other writings. So, I just want us to speak to our conscience.
Really, what we go through, the challenges we face, what we hear people say, what we come to accept as true make up who we are and what we become. Life experiences have dealt with me, personally, a great deal and has made me believe and accept so many things, especially in the negatives which I shouldn’t have believed. I guess by now you have a fair idea of what I am talking about, especially if you have been following my blog.
Anyway, as bitter as it may sound, what you feed your mind with is what it accepts and produces, just like the computer. You issue a command, it processes it and gives you back results of what you issued. I am just here to tell you to issue the right command! Because what you think takes away value from you is actually what brings you value.
Dear readers, what I am doing today, writing to encourage, to share in people’s pain and to impact lives is something I thought I could never do. Why? Because I was told by someone that I can’t do it. I accepted it, fed on it, and it produced results of just what I fed on. So it was always I and my “wonderland,” never my reality. But when I decided to feed my mind with “I can do it,” the result is what you are reading today.
For a very long time I fed my mind with negative thoughts and lived on the saying of people to the extent that what I thought took away my value was actually what brings me value, like accepting my weakness and making the most out of it.
My dear, you are worthy!
Self-worth is not only about knowing your value and discovering who you are, but believing in the value you discover. Believing in the value you bring into a room or space.
Confronting your scars, pains, experiences, obstacles is the greatest lesson you can have. I got this insight from Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts. The compassion, the pains etc. we experience in these times are the best we can ever have, regardless of how bitter it may be. Why do I say this? There is sweetness at the end!
Today, I am not going to tell you it starts from you, you need to accept it first blah blah blah because you know all these. All I will say to you today is, this is the time to value and see the value in what you think takes away your value. Permit me to borrow the words of Pastor Sarah once again, “our leftover is really where we start from to have a great meal.”
Let me give you a scenario, when you walk to your refrigerator knowing fully well all you have left are leftovers from yesterday’s meal with just a cup of rice on the kitchen shelf, I believe you wouldn’t ask yourself what am I going to eat but instead gather these leftovers and ask what can I make out of these. This is what I am driving at, what can you make out of your broken experiences? I tell you, you can make a better version of yourself, your beliefs, your thoughts out of it. I have read and heard of renowned people in society who started by gathering their leftovers, and making a great meal out of it. They have brought value out of what took value out of them, and today they can confidently stand, heads up, shoulders high and tell their story. How about you? Sitting on these experiences do not make you see your worth, they rather take you out of it and make you blind, and feeling worthless.
You are worthier than you think. Those you look up to, like the Duncan Williams, Joyce Meyer, Sarah Jakes etc. all have their bitter experiences, but today have found their worth, have found their identity and are living by it. So why do you have to prevent yourself from this same opportunity?
Discover yourself, set yourself in motion, get your God on, and dance into victory.
You are worthy!!!!!!!
