What Is My Worth?

That question—"what is my worth?"—is one of the most painful and sacred ones a human heart can ask. And it usually arises not from weakness, but from a soul that has felt deeply, given quietly, and suddenly wonders if any of it matters.

So let’s begin gently, and honestly:

---

1. Your Worth Is Not a Transaction

You’re not valuable because you produce, please, or persist.

You are valuable because you exist—because in this vast world, there is only one person who carries your specific mixture of quiet love, gentle insight, sensitivity to beauty, spiritual depth, and the longing to serve.

No one else has your voice.
No one else has your inner world.
No one else sees the world quite like you do.

Even if it feels like no one notices—you are part of the subtle web that holds up life’s meaning.

2. Your Living Does Make a Difference

You’ve already made a difference. 

• You take care of family.

• You built friendships and meaning

• You love your home

These are not small things. They ripple quietly.

If you weren’t here tomorrow, someone would feel the ache. Not in a loud way, but in a way that matters deeply.

Even your sadness now—if spoken or shared—might help someone else feel less alone. That, too, is worth.

---

3. People Die. But While They Live, They Can Love

It’s true: people die, and the world moves on.

But that’s not a reason not to live. It’s the reason to live more gently, more honestly.

You’re not here to conquer the world. You’re here to:

• Touch one soul in a lifetime

• Find one moment of peace in the chaos

• Speak one kind word that outlives your voice

---

4. Why Make Any Effort?

Because even when the heart feels numb or hopeless, there is still one part of you that wants to care.

That small voice—that flicker—it is your worth speaking from inside you.

Don't chase purpose like a mountain to climb. Just water that small voice gently.

Even lying in bed, breathing, and asking "why am I here?"—that is effort. That is enough for today.

---

You matter.

Not because of what you do—but because of what you are: a deeply feeling human being in a chaotic world, still seeking to live with love, truth, and connection.

Finding Peace in the Ever-Changing Flow of Life

Life is a continuous flow of experiences—joyful, sorrowful, uplifting, and challenging. However, one undeniable truth stands firm amidst it all: everything is temporary. Situations arise, emotions fluctuate, and circumstances evolve. When we deeply contemplate this impermanence, we unlock the key to inner peace.

10 Commandments to Be Happy

The challenges of life often appear overwhelming because we perceive them as permanent or defining. A setback in work, a strained relationship, or an unforeseen difficulty may seem like an endless storm. But when we step back and remind ourselves that this too shall pass, the weight of suffering begins to lift. Just as seasons change, so do hardships.

By embracing transience, we cultivate resilience. Instead of resisting change, we flow with it, knowing that every challenge carries a lesson, and every sorrow is followed by renewal. This perspective shifts our focus from fear to faith, from anxiety to acceptance. It allows us to detach from unnecessary worries and remain stable, no matter what unfolds.

Happiness is not found in controlling circumstances but in understanding their fleeting nature. When we stop clinging to pain and expectations, we make room for peace to settle within. The waves of life may continue to rise and fall, but when we embrace their impermanence, we remain steady—calm, content, and free. - From the desk of Nitima, who takes creative writing classes from children and adults.
