Title: The Story of Self-Worth: The Value of Defining Your Own Worth

There’s this beautiful, uh, fable story that I love to share. And it’s about a kid who finds, like, a gem in his house, like a stone. And he goes up to his dad, and he says, how much is this stone worth, dad? What’s the value of this stone? And the dad says, I want you to go out to the baker, and when you go out to the baker, say that you’re selling the stone, and when they ask you how much it is, hold up two fingers. And so the kid said, okay, I’ll do that. The kid ran out, went to the baker. The baker said, oh, that looks nice. How much are you selling it for? Kid held up two fingers. The baker said, oh, $2, I’ll take it. So the kid ran back, and the kids said, dad, the baker offered $2. The dad said, okay, now I want you to go to an antique shop, and I want you to show them the jewel, the stone. And when you show them the stone, I want you to hold up two fingers again. So the boy runs off, and the antique person says, oh, that’s a nice stone. How much is it? And the boy holds up two fingers, and he says, oh, 200. Two hundred dollars? Okay, yeah, I’ll take it. And the boy runs back, and then the dad says, okay, now I want you to go to this jeweler, and this Rare store of gems and stones and jewels. And go up and do the same thing. The boy runs back, goes to this, shows the stone, holds up two fingers, and the jeweler says, oh, $2,000, I’ll take it. And, you know, that story, to me, is really the story that we’re all going through, where we’re letting someone else define our worth by what we showed them. And how all those people are gonna rate you based on their own knowledge and their own experience. So if you’re a person of low vibration and insecurity and anxiety, and you’re letting someone define you at $2 worth, that’s what you’re getting. Or as if you’ve already priced yourself. And this is my worth. This is who I am. This is my value. You’ll never let someone undervalue you. And that’s the challenge today, is that because we don’t value ourselves, and we’re letting someone else value us, we are being undervalued by every person we date and meet. And that’s how everyone feels. Everyone feels like that stone that is undervalued because you’re not being perceived by the right people for the right thing.
