Dollars or Sense or Reason?

"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason." - Wayne Dyer

 

 

Hmmmm......seems to be the theme of the day!!!

 

Just got home from a lovely time at the beach with my dear friend Pam.  We shared a bottle of wine on an exceptionally warm coastal day.  You have no idea!!!  I really do live in an incredibly beautiful area, but it is amazingly cold too.  It's all relative, but as Mark Twain said, "the coldest winter he'd ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".  I live just south of there and believe me.......... fires are an all summer long event. 

 

Just so happens we were solving "all" the world's problems.  Imagine .......... that much accomplished in just one bottle of wine.  If you'd like to know the vintage let me know.  Kidding aside we really did discuss personal "worth" issues and how they manifest differently in every one's life.  And all we had to do was read Wayne Dyer's book. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Wayne Dyer and believe he has an important message to the world.  Heck, we all have an important message, it's just that some people grab hold of their mission and actually try to fulfill it.  Why is that??  Some, "get it" and the rest of us fumble around saying we have no idea why we're here and what we're supposed "to do".  I'm trying to figure it out as I'm sure most people are.  As this time in my life seems to be about simplifying, getting to the bottom of it, stripping away all the extras and quieting all the noise in my life, what is left??? 

 

Well in re-reading the quote above, it would seem that what is left in my life is the stark reality that I am a worthwhile human being, for no other reason than because I am.  Perhaps I'll tattoo this on my hand as a constant reminder, because I've certainly fallen victim to most every entrapment to believe any other possibility.  Is this why my "life" has and is being stripped away?  So I can see the bare bones value in who I am and then ultimately to discover why I am here?

 

Good thing mysteries intrigue me.........so do I believe it????  Because Wayne Dyer said it, or because it actually is true?  What are you worth?
