There was a time in my life, not too long ago, when I felt like I had lost everything. You know what I mean, because I’m guessing that at one time or another, you may have felt the same way.
Let’s see, what could it be???
Job Loss?
Love Lost?
Belief in Yourself – Lost?
For me, that third one was the worst of all. Losing my self-confidence; doubting my self-worth. It’s a terrible place to be and I didn’t know how to turn it around.
That is, until I met a 90 year old woman who changed my life forever. Her name is Geri Franklin and she taught me how to believe in myself again, and how to uncover something called my core values. Just to name a few:
Honesty
Loving
Passionate
She believed in me more than I believed in myself, and through her eyes, I began to regain my confidence. Geri taught me that I may have lost a lot, but my core values were never lost. Deep down, I was still the same person. And after some time, I learned to believe in myself again – and I didn’t feel so worthless anymore
Through the wisdom of Geri, I learned that no matter what happens in my life, I will always have my core values. No one can ever take those away from me. So now I’d like to pass that wisdom along to you.
Figure out what your core values are and write them down. So the next time life throws you a curve, and you’re feeling a little crumpled, and some days you may even feel like you’ve been thrown to the ground and even stomped in the dirt, remember, you never, ever lose your worth – your never lose your core values. They will help you to embrace change, or at least not be afraid of it.
Those dark clouds WILL clear, and behind them you will find an abundance of stars and glory beyond your wildest imagination. The beauty will take your breath away.
