You ever stop to think about what you’re worth??
Now this is important, understanding what your worth allows you to know how others should treat you and not settle for less. This is always a cry that I cry out in every speech that I give myself (yes my minor pep talks lol) and in conversations with my girls.
But honestly, what is your self worth?
I think I understand my self worth, even though it slips my mind here and there and I occasionally settle for less and disregard my worth from time to time, but we all do, that’s no biggie.
However, there is always room for improvement, self-improvement. That’s what my summer “me” plan is all about!!! Self improvement and understanding your self worth! It’s an important and incredibly mature characteristic to look at yourself and acknowledge your positive and negative attributes and make a conscious effort to work on the qualities that you see for yourself that are negative.
My “ME” plan for the summer includes stuff like stretching every morning, practicing Spanish, learning a new word daily, watch some movies my friends told me about, and improving my diet by eating more fruit. It’s a combination of maximizing my body and mind. And the amazing thing is our capacity for learning and improvement are limitless.
The motivation for this post was this freshman that just walked in here for orientation. My homeboy had PRESSENCE!!! Like this aura about him that made you feel like he’s going places! I want that presence! He motivated me to get back on, well start, my summer me plan for REAL REAL. No time for games.!!!
What’s your summer “ME” plan? Your life plan?!?!
what are you doing to make sure you’re aight?!

This is great and expresses the importance of how knowing yourself allows you to improve your live in amazing ways. Knowing your self-worth also allows you to realize what other people in your life are worth. Keep it up
Its really hard to think of my own self worth. I always find that I cut myself short, usually because I am afraid of being a bit narcissistic. Even harder than finding your self worth is upholding them in your daily life. Holding others, but most important yourself from not allowing anything less than you deserve. I like your post because at very surface, you bring us, your readers, to the attention of caring for ourselves, realizing that we shouldn’t have to settle. Im wondering what-if any-are the special rules to apply to those we’ve become attached to, maybe in love with prior to diagnosing our self worth. How does one filter the less, maybe simply not deserving population we already give ourselves to?
