self worth

How much are you worth?
$1 one dollar?
$18 eighteen dollars an hour, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week?
$100 one hundred dollars an hour?
$500 five hundred?
All the money in your bank account?
Perhaps however much someone is willing to pay?
or do u measure your worth in words?
Beautiful?
Successful?
Sexy?
High Class?
Well dressed?
Fit?
Thin?
Young?
Mature?
Famous?
Popular?
Fashionable?
Trend setter?
Do you measure your worth in number of friends?
what abut Facebook followers?
Twitter?
You are worth more than all these things!
To measure your worth look into your heart,
Would your parents risk their life for yours?
Would your family lend you money without proof of return?
How do you treat those you hold dear?
How do you treat those beneath you?
How do you treat your those you don't like?
How do you behave when under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
Do your children call for you when they need a hug?
Do your siblings try to keep in touch?
Do you love others honestly?
Do you turn the other cheek?
Do you walk through life with your eyes open and you hands ready to help?
Do you try to be a better person and view your flaws honestly?
Would you give a kidney to your sick brother?
Would you give up your place in a Que for a stranger with a greater need?
Do you find pleasure in making others happy?
Do you understand what it is to forgive?
Do you love?
Do you live?
These are some things to measure your worth by.
These are the things that help us to love ourselves.
Because if you cant find your own value, if you cant love yourself,
than who will?
