Have you forgotten your value?

"If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, know that you have forgotten your value or that you do not know it at all." – Veli Ndaba

Have you ever given yourself? time and space just to think about it?

How would you like to be remembered? If you were to celebrate your last birthday, who would you like to attend and why? What would you like people from all walks of life, different age groups, different races to tell you about and how you have lived and touched their lives since they were exposed to you?

Who would be at your first table? Second, third, etc.?

You see, these questions allow me to think about the importance of life and the role it has to play. I do not think anyone wants to be easily forgotten soon after they die. This helps you to determine your value as a human being.

When you really know your value, you choose wisely your relationships (friends and romantics), respect and use your time wisely. You choose what you read and what you spend the most time doing. You will not be specialized in time-wasting activities, it's when you know your true value. Operating from the principle of Yonke insipho iya washa meaning "everything is fine" is not a very wise principle on which to base your life. Take this time and introspection, look at what you are doing and ask yourself why you are doing it. Do you have an overview or master plan of this activity in which you are engaged? This will wake you up from sleepwalking. The world needs you, give the best of yourself.
