When you choose to believe in yourself, you’re ignoring the status quo that says you require approval from others in order to proceed with your belief in you.

Many of us, myself included, have been the cheerleaders and validators for others in our lifetime - whether friends, family, students, clients, co-workers, strangers we meet and encourage.

What if your real value is based on how you value yourself?

When you value yourself, you teach others that you have value, which sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it? If you've been thinking it works the other way, and have been trying to find your value out there, rather than within, you've been depending on others to tell you what you’re worth. Or, you’ve judged your value based on how you think you compare to others.

Clairvoyance is the psychic ability to see clearly.

Someone practicing the art of clairvoyance can learn to use this brilliant spiritual tool to see themselves clearly - with compassion, forgiveness, and love. The greatest clairvoyant ability is to see yourself clearly.

Is it you who gets to decide that you have value? Have you been waiting for others to see it first?

If you allow your value to be determined for you by the judgments or standards of others, you may want to rethink this choice. Yes, this is a choice, even if it’s an unconscious one.

Somewhere along the way, you gave up ownership of your self worth to someone or something else. Your family, society, teachers, culture, group, or even your friends might be the ones you allow to decide your value for you. If you haven’t been feeling good about yourself lately, and nobody around you is very validating to you, perhaps you need to reclaim your value for yourself.
