What is Your True Worth?
What is your true worth? Did you ever analyze this question?
In this world you will find two types of people. One who know who they are, do what they want and feel happy with what they are doing.
On the other hand there are so many people out here who don’t even know who they are, what purpose are they serving while living this life and they only feel worthy when they are pleasing someone else.
To my surprise there are plenty people who fall in the second category and they don’t even know it.
Or I might be wrong. They all are aware of their own situation. They might be aware that they don’t have any life other than doing this. They might be aware that pleasing others is the only option left with them to survive in this challenging world.
Well, to be very frank, the behavior of each and every person is different in this world. Those who are satisfied with their true worth, or those who know who they are and what their real value is; will never need to please someone else. Now this seriously doesn’t means about pleasing your kids or spouse 🙂
At times they might do what others want from them, as I said they might do things which can make their family happy, but this will be a matter of their choice, not something on which they don’t have control over.
These types of people will never think about what others are thinking about them, or whether they will accept them or not, but they will develop their own value.
But on the other hand, those who fall in the second category will do please someone, either forcefully or by their own choice.
I guess my readers are well aware that normally I don’t blog on such things. Usually my blogs are something which discusses some points which helps others to live a good life, a life with respect. And hence I thought to write something on this topic.
To be very frank I am quite sure that those who only feel worthy when they please someone, will never change themselves, especially after reading a blog will definitely not going to impact them so much that they can change themselves, but still I am trying to give some message to them.
I don’t know they do this, but it certainly gives them some happiness, happiness in the form of some materialistic gains. But, are those materialistic gains are more important than your self respect?
If you go to some office, I can bet that you will find such types of at least ten creatures if the office strength is of around 25-30 people. The percentage of such people, especially in middle and top management is too high, it might be possible just because many of them has reached to that height with the help of this ability only.
But, believe me pleasing your boss or someone is not having any drawbacks, except the fact that you are doing the work which that particular someone wants from you. You are actually giving the right to control your own life to someone else. Your value is actually being defined by someone else.
Believe me, you can get power with the help of this, but this power is not permanent as you have not acquired them with your inner strength. Someone else will come and might please the same someone whom you were pleasing and you can be out of the scene very soon.
My dear friend, doing these things will never empower you anyway.
Well, if you ask me then I can say that this is their normal behavior. They want to become more powerful than their colleagues and to do so they please someone. They could have done this for the whole of their life and they don’t feel anything bad in it.
When they do this fulsomeness, they feel good. This is the reason why they do so.
Well, if you ask me how we can cure these persons, my response is straight forward, we cannot. We can never be able to cure the mentality of such people.
So does it mean that it is impossible to cure them?
Well, not exactly, they can also be cured, unless they themselves realize their true worth. They might be able to realize their self respect one day and will stop doing this.
What is your opinion about these types of people? Do let me know your opinion in the form of comments.
