When you were born your self worth was at an all time high, as was your net worth. You were a perfect 10, a miracle. Then as your grew into the real world you got exposed to it all. As a child you had courage, and still maintained a high self worth, but then what happened as you grew older?

You got exposed to family, friends, religion, politics, events, recognition, criticism, etc. and basically you let the outside influences come inside and effect your self worth. Your self worth started to decreased, because most of the outside influences were not necessarily positive.

I can remember as a young boy being recognized and praised on how cute I was because I had dimples. For the first 12 years of my life I was told how cute I was, so what was I to believe - I was cute. That gave me confidence, respect and a feeling of self worth.

However, life is opposites and balance. For the sun we have the moon, cold - hot, etc. and I became a teenager and those dimples turned into pimples. All I would hear is how ugly I was. I would look into the mirror and agree. I let the outside world come inside.

I allowed them to devalue my self worth, which in turn devalued my net worth.

As a teenage, I hated my self. I had no confidence, no self esteem or self respect. Basically I had no self worth, and certainly no net worth.

It wasn’t until I was 18, when I looked into the mirror for the first time, that I went inside. Over time I started to like myself as I got to know myself from the inside out. My self worth started to increase.

Think about this for a moment - Who is the most important person in the world? Who should you know best? When was the last time you went inside to get to know the most important person in the world and clean up the garbage that you are carrying around from your past?

When was the last time you evaluated your self worth, or your net worth, and made improvements accordingly?

I believe that we all came into this world as miracles, with a high self worth. As we got exposed to the real world, we have let external influences inside. Many of us have become our own worst enemy. You have created our own fears, limitations, barriers and conditions in our life. You have not only devalued our self worth, but also your net worth.

You see, your self worth is your level of self confidence, self esteem and self respect. When you add them all up they total your self worth. Your self worth equals your net worth.

In a lot of my seminars I ask the question - how many millionaires are there in the room and very few to no hands go up. Within minutes I prove to them that everyone is a millionaire and they agree. Your net worth is dependent on your self worth.

What value do you place on your limbs, your eye sight, hearing, speaking, walking, etc.? Are you not a multi billionaire?

You too may have been so busy devaluing yourself, that you too may not be a millionaire yet either. When you appreciate and recognize what you have and are capable of doing, you increase your self worth. Your level of self worth will translate into your (financial) net worth

The Bottom Line – It is now time to go inside that most important person and get to know them. Change some of those negative beliefs to positive beliefs. Start to live your life from the inside out, instead of the outside in. Recognize and be appreciative of what you have and can do. Build your self confidence, self esteem and self respect. That in turn will build your self worth and ultimately your net worth.
