” You are a gold mine, never gold plated. ”

You are worthy. You are worthy of love, attention and affection. This is your birthright! Believe it and believe in yourself.

You are a unique individual, there is no one on this earth that is a replica of you; you are who you are. It is permissible to be who you are and to be yourself. Walk confidently and uprightly knowing that you are invaluable and precious.

Within, the very nucleus of your being is a fountain of unimaginable wealth that you alone are privy to.  I behoove you to tap into this beautiful life force and share your talents with me and the rest of the world. You are worthy and we all want to hear your voice.

Inside your body is a light force that cannot be extinguished. There is also scientific proof that you are and were created to be distinct. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule inside every human being carrying their genetic code. This double stranded helix is a marker of your individuality.

Within your body are cells that are different from every living organism or human. The very fact that you are alive is a testament that you are valuable and deserving of attention as a citizen and member of the human race.

You are a never ending expression of love. You are alive! Your energy is beating like the drums of the Akan people of Western Africa (these people have a diverse way of collaborating and expressing their music in a unified intrinsic, colorful way). It’s never dull. Your vibration is akin to this.  Your beat is an awesome rhythm and is a force affecting others because you exist. The rhythmical patterns that you establish may be very healing and influential to another person. He/she may need your beautiful widespread energy to revitalize and heal their hurts. A soft word can soothe away their pain. Your smile can be felt all the way to the marrow within the bones.

You are so much worthier than you think. Thus, it is important to feed the force within you and let it just, blossom! Ever notice a beautiful flower that is oh so perfect? Before it became that way a seed was planted. It was covered in darkness (this is no different from you thinking that you cannot do this or have that because I’m too this or lacking that). During this time it was fed and watered with the right nutrients (this relates to what and who you invite into your space and time).  Positive vibes and nourishing intellect are your song. Now, this flower begins to grow and this is contingent on its environment.  If there is a lack of sunlight and the right amount of water (positive influences and thought patterns) then this flower may not reach it’s true potential.  However; if it is fed and watered correctly, then it will escalate and become the focus and adoration in the rest of the field.

This is the reason why it is important to eliminate and forget the people that refuse to see or acknowledge your worth. I’ll give you an example pertaining to myself. There was this particular individual who I wanted so badly to get attention from; I wanted their affection and their love. However, this person was stifling me. I couldn’t grow around this person.  This person viewed me in a way that did not represent or reflect the person that I am. Each time I would try to ‘prove’ to this person to see me in a different light. I would try to explain myself constantly and almost plead for this individual to just listen and empathize with me.

However, each time that I tried to ‘prove my worth’ I felt deep within like I was drowning. I felt like my awesome energy went out of sync with the tune of life and the force within me was crying out. It screamed, “You are stifling me and I can’t grow or blossom.” This was clearly not a person that I should be giving any of my attention or my valuable time to. I looked in the mirror and said to myself the very lines that I started this article with. I said it with conviction and the force within me was strengthened. Distancing myself completely was the best thing that I did because removing this drowning force out of my path caused me to start blooming again.

           Be prepared that some people will not acknowledge your worth or value your time or appreciate your love. What is most important is that you acknowledge and believe that you are worthy. Own it; it is your birthright. The unshakable truth about your value is the very fact that you exist.
