Defining Worth

   

You have to decide you are worth fighting for. You have to decide that your future, your dreams, your family, your hopes, your kids, your heart are worth fighting for. After you decide you are worth fighting for, you have to have the attitude that you are going to do it, not an attitude that it would "be nice" for your dreams to come true. 

When you decide something has to change, you must adopt a "can do without exception" attitude ALL the time. We are capable of achieving more then most of us ever do. Why? We allow ourselves to believe that our current situations define our worth, it defines who we are and where we are going. 

Was engineering school hard? It was tougher then I could ever put words to. Those 4 years were ones I could have never prepared for, they were years that I poured my sweat and tears into everything I did, they were years that I pushed myself further then I ever thought I could go, they were years my attitude towards life changed multiple times a day. More days then not, I wanted to quit. I wanted to throw in the towel and say "enough is enough". I was done being stretched passed my limit. I didn't quit. 

My Dad always taught us growing up that anything in life worth having wouldn't be easy and if it were easy, everyone would do it. Walking across th stage on graduation was such a defining moment, I finally had accomplished what I was starting to think was impossible. I couldn't help but think of all the people who told me I couldn't, I wanted to yell "I told you so!" Now, almost every single person who ever told me I couldn't do it, that I should just quit, or that it wasn't worth my time has zero idea that I graduated, who cares though. What IS important is that I didn't allow their view of me define who I was or who I am or who I a becoming. 

Who are you letting define your worth? Who are you letting define your future?

Take charge of your life, God created you with a purpose and journey bigger then you can imagine, don't discredit it, don't give it up. Full steam ahead. You are worth it.
