Your value is fixed. It does not increase as you accumulate wealth, degrees, fame, popularity, property, status, etcetera. It does not decrease when you have losses, mishaps, embarrassments, failures, and frailties. You are as worthy in this moment, in whatever condition you are currently in, as you were at birth; as you were at your best; as you were at your worst; and as you will be when in your final moment. Since nothing can diminish your value, nothing can amplify it, and that's the beauty of intrinsic value. It is not imparted, and it cannot depart. It should be your goal to walk with your head high, to reside in self-love, to honor your purpose, to radiate love and respect for the intrinsic value of others, to accomplish and achieve, and to live everyday with gratitude for the Most High, not because you're on a quest for worth or worthiness, but because you recognize that you are and will always be a significant member of humanity. -LeKechia Lyshell
