TEACH A PERSON TO FISH ----- It is all about self worth

Are you constantly over-extending yourself for others around you?

Do you feel a need to be heroic or rescue someone by doing for them what they can do themselves?

This can play out in your relationships, business, or in any parts of your life.

You are putting out a lot without a fair exchange from the people you are dealing with.

No matter if this is division of labour in running your home, in friends showing up for you, or in your business, recognize that you show up for everyone but they do not show up for you or give you acknowledgement and value for your work.

When you are over-extending yourself and not getting value/worth, what is happening?

The over-extending may be a way of keeping a person around that you believe will not stay around unless you give to them.

You feel that you have no intrinsic value/worth so you are constantly striving to generate a sense of self worth by doing too many things for others. Things that they could be doing for themselves. It is an issue of self worth.

KNOWING YOUR WORTH

How do we get from here to knowing our worth?

First know we are all human beings and everyone has value/worth. It is the human condition. The Universe does not make junk.

How do you claim this gift that is your universal right?

1. Start by acknowledging the pattern you are playing. Realize you are doing it and see how it makes you feel.

2. Look around you for healthy patterns. Watch them carefully so you can try them as well. How does this healthy pattern make you feel?

3. Finally, “risk” by telling people what you need from them. They simply might not know and could truly want to show up to help.

So teach a person to fish. Rather than do everything for everyone else, work together with others and help them learn to do things for themselves. It is a rich thing to help people be capable and independent.
