Break Free!

How would you measure or define the worth/value of a man in today’s society? Ultimately the deciding factor is how confident you are on your own understanding of the world, and executing and producing the desired result. The life we truly desire and deserve cannot be ultimately attained if we lack the self-confidence to move forward with our intention.

The Bible tells us that man was made in the image of God. In many ways, we bear Gods likeness. We gain a deeper understanding of who we are the more we know about him. That is to say, to know us, we have to get to know God. And, to get to know God, we have to first start with ourselves. We have such an interwoven relationship that you can't have one without the other. 

If our understanding of society's rules are inadequate, we end up having a distorted view on truth as a whole. Therefore, ignorance is bliss! Well, somewhat!

Can you put a price on Freedom of speech? Can you put a price on the love of your life? How about watching a beautiful sunset? How about your emotions, energy, confidence and attitude? Accountability? Respect? Some things have no monetary value, but they mean a lot in order to have a fulfilling life. All of these attributes can be summed up by one core aspect: Intrinsic value.

Intrinsic value is a term used in companies to view an assets worth, but not necessarily its monetary value. However, we are people. We are not a company or an object.

The expression we use for people are your gifts, or your spiritual gifts.

The reality is, you and only you define success for yourself! Yes, society has thresholds that say “You can only do this if you have a diploma stating that you're qualified”, but ultimately, it’s up to you to make the agreement and move ahead with the degree. You make the decision to engage in the cultural norm.

The unrealistic, view people as one-dimensional creatures, only scratching the surface instead of seeing the magnitude of potentiality we all possess.
