I recently read a book in which there was this one sentence “How others treat you cannot determine your worth”.

True but isn’t that what keeps our days moving? The thought of what others think of us? There are days we base our understanding of ourselves from the eyes of others. We as a society are built that way, never say no, think about what others would think. Oh actually, we base our understanding of ourselves by the way we get treated by them.

These is a big list of positive and negative treatment here - Respectfully, Empathetic, Fair, Kind, Supportive, Generous, Patient, Considerate, Disrespectful, Neglected, Unfair, Cruel, Manipulative, Judgmental, Condescending, Indifferent and many more.

We beat ourselves to either keep up with the good image or trouble ourselves and wonder why we are not enough. What a mind ours is? Constantly struggling with good and bad equally?

Well the part that really troubles me most is that this is what drives our days. We almost always live to satisfy an ego that places the opinion and approval of others at its forefront. But all this not realising. Once we have this knowledge do we still want to be doing this?

Instead what we must start doing is connect within ourselves, nurture this connection, deepen the connection with our hearts and allow our mind to be governed and guided on the basis of this connection.

The indicators that you are doing it right will start appearing in the form a of satisfaction of having been true to yourself, the power of being authentic, the ability to feel honest emotions not clouded by guidelines absolute clarity in thought eradication of overcompensation and finally freedom from our own handcuffs.

As you sip on your coffee this morning, just give it a little thought. Isn’t this worth giving a shot?
