We All Have Value!

                Every person is born with a unique style and personality. We are all different. In life we tend to compare ourselves with other people. Comparison is the thief of joy; as soon as you compare your lot to someone else’s, lot your lot doesn’t look that good anymore. As soon as you compare yourself with someone else you don’t look as good to yourself anymore. Perfection is a big façade and social media really helps out with this. You see pictures on Facebook and Instagram all the time. The picture of your best friend getting a new car looks sweet, but what Facebook doesn’t tell you is how much debt he had to go into to get that car. You envy the car but not the debt that goes into buying the car. You might envy the big trip your friend went on in Europe, but you wouldn’t be envying the family crisis they might going through. People that are divorced or mess up in life made mistakes and they have probably put themselves on the discount isle because they compare their greatest weakness with someone else’s greatest strength. You have value, all of us do. So someone like you that is valuable, please don’t put yourself on the discount isle by comparing yourself with perfection, because perfection doesn’t exists 

You can never get enough of what you don’t need because what you don’t need can’t satisfy you. If you need protein and eat Doritos to get the protein you will be eating a lot of Doritos because you don’t need Doritos. They can’t satisfy your need for protein.

I love this because it helps us react to someone’s needs instead of someone’s behavior. Let’s say you have a person that seeks a lot of undue attention. Their behavior can be annoying so we try to change it by saying things like “do this” or “don’t do that… or else…” and in the end, this really doesn’t work. But if we begin to meet their needs they will naturally change. If you give an undue attention seeker love and make them feel like they belong, their behavior will naturally change.

You can never get enough of what you don’t need because what you don’t need can’t satisfy you. I ask you: what do you need? What are your children’s needs? As you meet the needs pf people there behavior will naturally change.
