"The world needs a sense of worth,
and it will achieve it
only by its people
feeling that they are worthwhile."
- Fred Rogers
A song comes to mind:
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day...
On the deepest levels within us - unconsciously - we know we are worthy. The soul knows this truth. This, I believe wholeheartedly.
But our ordinary consciousness is clouded by layers of wounds and worries. So we often don't recognize our worth or see it in others. And, all too often, we've seen humanity acting badly. Many have become discouraged.
But there's so much evidence of human beings acting beautifully. If we focus on that, we can change the world.
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day...
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one.
Let's stand together as one. In kindness. With compassion and respect. Let's hold faith that we can help give the world a greater sense of worth by nurturing worth among us all.
With love,
Charlene
