    a friend of mine posed this question to me, "What defines self worth?" at first i was like, this question is pretty cliche but i obliged. upon telling her what was on my mind, i realized certain things that im not usually conscious of -  things i should remind myself of.

    as for the question what define's a person's worth, i will say one thing. it requires faith. cause even when we know money, fame, honor, dont define us (who we really are), we're so tempted to let it define us. because the world we live in places so much value in those things. i know that  for me, i feel better about myself when i am financially secure, and feel less so when i am not. i think in some ways, actually in many ways, to have faith is to be a rebel to the world. to gain is to lose, and to lose is to gain. i think ulitmately to be a man or woman of self-worth,  its necessary to be a rebel, like a salmon swimming upstream. and i am hoping that when i am tired and spent, i can then truly rest in peace in stiller waters, where no regrets exist.

    when reading ur new blog entry on self worth, this old song came to my mind, but i don't know the song title but the lyrics goes like that ...
    when i was a little girl, i asked my mother what will i be.  will i be pretty?  will i be rich?   guess what she says to me.  well sarah, sarah, what ever will be, will be, the future not for us to see, well sarah sarah, what will be, will be.  
    some of the lyrics i m not sure cause its a song i learn to sing when i was very young...
    self worth, no regrets, faith, love, compassion, consciousness, what you do today makes what is tomorrow, what you are worth today is what you had worked so hard for, but remember this when you are busy busy busy, you are still living and whatever you do reflects your self worth, not in the eye of people or thier opions, but the effects of on others and the resutants forces that follows. self worth, ya its always worth a penny for thoughts.
    everyday is a good day.

    self worth... kinda heavy, ain't it?
    i've never second guessed my abilities, but at times i'd wonder about my existence, like what changes have i brought to the world?
    just the thought of "swimming upstream" makes me shiver, although it is what we all are doing everyday.  i hope so much that what i'm doing now is gonna bring me to more peaceful days ahead.  however, we'd still have to make an effort to gasp for air in still waters, right?

    well said...  I think if we define ourselves with what's finite like Money, it will trap and limit us.  But if we definte ourselve with what's infinite like faith, we'll be free and can grow to our full potential with no end.

    I believe we know who we are and we define what we are by references to the people we love and our reasons for loving them.

    Thanks for the reminder... food for thought, since I haven't really stopped to think about self worth in some time myself... **Jean goes off to ponder on what defines self worth for her**

    Well put. I agree that it should matter little what society's markers of worth are and what the measure of worth is that other people assign you. As long as you are able to search and find the role in the world that you want to play, the role that allows you to live happily without regrets, then that's how your self worth should be measured.

    However, being human, we tend to get wrapped up in what our peers think and it just takes a bit of self reflection once in a while like you have done to keep us on the track that we want to be on in life.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts!  As a Christian, my pastor has often described how following truth is, as you put it, swimming upstream.  I've found it remarkable and a tiny bit funny, how as I try to live my life by God's word in the Bible, it's usually the complete opposite of the way the world normally works.  Yet, as I stumble to try and follow, it ends up working/making sense...

    I know for myself too, I struggle subconsciously letting myself be defined by things: appearance, relationships, etc.  Yet, as all of those have been tested or taken away these past years, I've had to discover what my true value and identity is...

    Hope you don't mind my lengthy comment!!

    ~God bless!
