Don't Let Your Circumstances Dictate Your Self Worth

Star Trek was a groundbreaking science fiction TV series of the 1960s. A matter transporter was one of the technological wonders the show employed in many episodes. An object or a person could be teleported from the Star Ship Enterprise to a transporter on board another spacecraft or a nearby planet.

Imagine that the fictitious transporter worked. You couldteleport yourself from your current location to anywhere else on earth. You could leave any environment or situation in just a few seconds and transport yourself to a much more favorable location.

If you are familiar with the original Star Trek televisionseries or the many TV and movie shows and films it spawned, you know how timely the transporter could be. Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, and others were oftensaved from imminent death when transported to a much safer and friendlier location.

Transporting Your Self-Worth

You have a virtual transporter in your mind. You cantransport yourself to another reality whenever your experiences change. When things are going great, many people live in a high self-worth reality. When life gets tough, they shift their self-worth to a lower-quality reality.

We often allow our perception of ourselves to change due to our experiences. We allow people, places, and things to change our feelings. If we already struggle with self-worth, it happens more often than not. It’s part of being human, a flawed human that we all are. That doesn’t make it right. It just means you need to be aware of the possibility of it happening.

Keep this in mind, your environment and your thoughts might change but it doesn’t change the unique individual you are. You are a good person soul deep. You are capable and worthy. So, wherever you go, no matter what external factors are involved, there you are.

There’s No Need to Shift Your Self-Worth

Feeling the need to flee doesn't happen to someone with ahigh level of self-worth. They recognize the person that they are inside no matter what external factors are happening around them.

People with a great self-image and high self-esteem arecomfortable in their skin. They don't change their opinion of who they are just because of the surrounding circumstances. This is good because our circumstances and experiences frequently change without us being able to stop them.

Value yourself. Embrace who you are, warts and all.Intimately get to know your strengths and weaknesses, your skills and abilities. Respect the fact that you are a unique individual that has never existed before you came along and will never exist after you are gone. That'sreason enough to respect and love yourself greatly.

Admire who you are. You were created uniquely and arevaluable to the world just as you are. Don't let your present circumstances change the way you perceive yourself because they can change without any control on your part.
