Knowing Your Worth

---

One of the mistakes people make is that, they live their lives without having a sense that there's one particular person that quietly peeps and watches how they do what they do, how they run their lives. The truth is, no matter what you think about yourself, someone somewhere watches you. You may not know how the person is following you, but he watches every step you take.

Knowing that someone is watching you will help you live a life that will not mislead others. Many people have lived and their ways of life have totally misled people, had negative impacts on the people. I have seen children being mislead by their parents parents because they didn't know their children were watching every of their step.

So, knowing that you are being watched, there's, therefore, a need to know your worth if you will not mislead people. If your actions will not have negative impacts on the people that are watching you secretly, you need to really know what your worth is.

Recently, I attended a meeting. Immediately the meeting ended, we were served a light refreshment so our stomach would not be empty, because it might be that many have already been exhausted. So, a tray containing cups of tea and bread was being passed around. Everyone picked a cup and two slices of bread.

I picked mine and began to enjoy my hot tea ☕ and bread 🍞. It came at a time I needed it because I was already feeling hungry. But, as people were picking bread and a cup of tea, I was actually looking around if people will pick more than two slices of bread, if they will pick more than a cup of tea. I was actually looking at some specific people.

Prior to the time I finished drinking my tea ☕, a brother whom I was looking at collected his, and was drinking it gently. This brother is a leader at this meeting. You know, I was curious. I so much like him; I admire him because he's very knowledgeable and gentle. He's very eloquent...

As I was looking at him rightly beside me, I heard a sound at my back. "What is this sound", I asked in my heart. Then as I looked back, I saw a lady who was pouring a cup of tea she collected into a carbonated drink bottle. I was surprised because this lady had already drank a cup of tea. Seeing her pour another cup of tea into another bottle got me irritated. You know, someone whom you have respect for doing such kind of thing.

I didn't talk. I just turned my eyes back to the front. Then, some minutes, say 4 minutes, later, a woman, the wife of the leader I was looking at beside me, was carrying two cups of tea ☕ and was approaching his husband who had already finished his tea and bread. As she approached her, he was nodding his head that he didn't want.

When her wife realized that her husband kept nodding his head, she asked him "have you taken?", and he said "Yes!"... When I saw what this leader did, I was very happy. He didn't know that someone was watching him, but he knows his worth. He didn't do like the other lady who was behind me, who has taken a cup of tea and also poured another in a bottle.

See, knowing your worth is very important. If you don't know your worth, you will misbehave and mislead people. The respect I have for that young leader who knows his worth increased. That's how it's. When you know your worth, you will command respect. No one will respect you if you don't respect yourself. And you can only respect yourself if you know your worth.

You can't just live a careless life if you know your worth. People who live anyhow don't know their worth. Whether you like it or not, someone somewhere will secretly watch you, he will want to know what you really are, what your worth is. Don't make the mistake of living a life of carelessness. Live intentionally. Have the consciousness that you are being watched and know your worth.
