Why? ….Because you are worth it!

Do not allow anyone to place a value on you that depreciates you, undermines who you are, and what you believe in.

I was recently bidding for a particular piece of work, and was told that because someone is cheaper than me, they are likely to consider them, and if I wanted to continue with the bid, I should reduce my price.  Well, my spiritual intuition kicked in, silently telling me NOT to under value myself.  That if I believe that I am worth what I had quoted, then I should not lower the price.

My intuition carried on to tell me, that if I reduce the price I would be simplifying the work that needed to be done, and that would not be true to the client and myself.  I stuck to my guns!

I have time and time again, in the past reduced my prices, and having to work longer hours, in getting the work done. In essence, what I was doing then was, indicating that I was not ‘worth it’.  I was in fact ‘shrinking to fit’!

Negotiation is one thing, though to be devalued is clearly another.  I shall always prefer the former.

This is a reminder that you, should not wait for others to appreciate you, you should celebrate and appreciate yourself.  Self-appreciation increases your self-worth.  I am worth it!!

If you are not careful, you may find yourself, before long, devaluing and depreciating yourself not only in your career, in your personal relationships too.  Follow your intuition, and learn to place real value for your work, in your relationships and for your life.

Like the advert says…’Why?’  ‘Because I am worth it’!!

If you don’t take charge others will!!

No more excuses!

How much longer are you going to keep making the same excuses, and mistakes?

How much longer are you going to keep saying that ‘No one is perfect’?

That adage is just an excuse in my opinion, for not striving to do better, not striving for improvement, not striving to raise your standards or game.

Without practise how can you ever improve?  You have to work at something to improve it and perfect it.  Giving up is such a cheaper option, and a less challenging one.

In the same way we seek to increase the value of our property by making improvements to it, is the same way we increase our self worth and value by improvements also.

We have to make every effort to make conditions better in various aspects of our lives, and not just leave it to chance.  We have to make every effort to make things better than they were before, or better than we did before.  Either way it is an improvement of what it was previously.

If you no longer want to live a life, that no longer serves you, then apply those positive things that will add more value and enhance your life.
