Remembering Our TRUE Worth

So often we are taught that worth is something we must prove, achieve, or earn.

From an early age, many of us learn to measure ourselves through what we accomplish, how productive we are, or what others think about us. Over time, this can create a huge distance to the sense our own value.

But what if our sense of worth is something much deeper?

What if remembering our worth begins with remembering our belonging to Mother Earth?

Mother Earth Remembers

When we lose our connection to Mother Earth,

we slowly forget our own worth.

Not because it disappeared,

but because we forgot where we came from.

We forgot the soil

that once held us.

The water that moves through us.

The breath of air we share with the trees.

Each of us is not separate from this living world.

We are the rain returning to the ocean,

the seed beneath the soil,

the fire of life moving through everything around us.

And when we remember -

truly remember -

something reconnects inside.

A Worth That Was Never Meant to Be Earned

Our worth was never something to earn or prove.

It was given with the same generosity that lets forests grow, that lets rivers flow in abundance, and that brings flowers to bloom each spring.

Nature does not question its right to exist.

A tree does not earn its right to grow.

A river does not prove its value before it flows.

It simply lives.

In the same way, our worth is not conditional. It is not something that can be taken away.

It is part of our inherited belonging here.

A worth that was with us when we came into this world,

and a worth that will follow us,

as we one day return to the soil.

To Source.
