Am I really worth anything?

“I feel all my peers are so smart and I am worth nothing”, Pratik was telling me in a very disappointed tone.

I asked him – “Do you really feel you are worth nothing?”

He replied – “very much”.

I took a pause for a while and told him – “Let us assume for a while that you are worth nothing. Now the question is do you want to stay worthless or do you want to work on amplifying your worth?”

Pratik was literally taken aback with this response. He was perhaps expecting that I would console him with some “Gyan”. 

A loud silence occupied the physical distance between us. After a while, breaking this silence, Pratik conveyed with an assertive tone that he had got his answer.

Most of the times – we get into comparisons though we very much know that we cannot ever become someone else. We still self-hypnotize ourselves, get into the negative loop and wait for some miracle to happen so that we come out of it.

The fact is – only we can help ourselves in any situation; someone can just be an instrumental in pushing us to help ourselves.

NATURE never creates anything insignificant/worthless!

It is completely up to us as an individual whether and how to amplify the significance/worth we are born with!

Do you agree?
