Your Value

"If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." – Source Unknown

Reality check in England - we had gotten carried away by the sunshine and began to entertain notions of a tropical Britain. I just look outside the window now and the reassuring drip of rain from a dark and marauding sky has restored faith in the British weather. No BBQ today.

Do we teach people how to treat us, how to respect us? By how we treat ourselves or respect ourselves? When you make a mistake, how do you react? Do you chastise yourself "You idiot!" or worse still continue to beat yourself up long after the error? Or do you forgive yourself, learn from the error and move on? Do you cross your own boundaries? Do you break your own agreements with yourself? Do you regularly tell yourself how bad you are at something? Do you undersell yourself in the workplace? Do you constantly work someone else's plan? On that last point, I can't resist the following quote:

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much." Jim Rohn
