KENYA FEEL WHY: It's Important to Know Your Worth


KENYA FEEL WHY: 
It's Important to Know Your Worth 


It's like basic Economics. Consider the Law of Increasing Opportunity Cost; the more you get of something, the less valuable it becomes. To further explain this, imagine that you have 10 tubes of your favorite MAC lipsticks, and your best friend has 10 MAC eye shadows. In the beginning you are probably willing to give her 3 lipsticks for 2 eye shadows. Then you may be willing to give up only 2 lipsticks for another 2 eye shadows. Along the way you realize the eye shadows aren't as valuable as you thought they were in the beginning. As you get more of something, it becomes less valuable. 

It works the same way with sex. A guy will be willing to work twice as hard for a woman he knows isn't spreading her legs to any & every guy out there. But, he won't be willing to work as hard for a woman that is. The more used up you become, the less valuable you are seen in others' eyes. But you are valuable. That's why I'm stressing to you to know your worth.

Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe you feel as if your mistakes are much more worse than others', but believe me they are not. There are always second chances in life, and this is yours. Consider the storm I spoke about in my last entry. You not knowing your worth was one of your storms. Sometimes it takes losing yourself to find yourself. Now you know that you are worthy and you won't allow yourself to fall down the same path again.  

When you know your worth people will respect you. This not only applies inside the bedroom, but outside of it as well. When you know your worth people will hold you to a higher standard. They will no longer use you, disrespect you, or take advantage of you, all because YOU will no longer allow them to. Once you realize that you are in control of your life everything else will fall into place. 

Often times we find ourselves conforming to society, or doing things other people do just to fit in. When in reality, we've had the power all along. You are able to set the standard of what's cool and what's not cool. Once you look within yourself and figure out who and what God wants you to be, then you'll find happiness. You won't need others to validate you, because you will be shamelessly confident in your own skin. 

Don't go looking for love in all the wrong places. Know what you will and will not tolerate. Don't settle for less because you feel as if you have to do so. Set standards and accept men who live up to them. Don't rush into anything, you have the rest of your life to find love. And when the time is right God will send you someone that's for you. 

Remember, everything starts with YOU. You are in control of your life. Love yourself and know that YOU ARE WORTHY

  1. Great read. It's impossible for others to respect you when you don't respect yourself.
