Last week we premiered a compelling storytelling video entitled Self-Worth you can check it out now by searching Pooja Mottl and Calm & Free Podcast on LinkedIn or YouTube.
The essence of the message of this video is that in a world where we’re told to measure our worth by external benchmarks and accomplishments – like wealth and status – we end up on a never-ending, futile chase that leaves us burned out and discontented.
As the chase continues, we get less connected and more cynical. More fearful, less trusting. Less joyful, more lonely. More diseased, less healthy. More anxious, less at peace.
But the fact is, we’re not different than we entered this world as tiny, beautiful babies – we’re no less loved, we’re no less valid. It’s just the norms of society that change the very way we think about ourselves as adults – and it’s a racket.
Persian Poet Rumi so eloquently advised to: “Look inside yourself, everything that you want you already are.”
We are already enough – we don’t need to overwork ourselves to burnout and needlessly compare and compete. We are worthy just as we are.
I’ll leave you to contemplate on this most profound piece of wisdom and encourage you to watch the entire video on YouTube.
I wonder what our world would be like if everyone - especially tech moguls, founders, investors and alike - took this message to heart and put a brake on the never-ending chase – would society be less polarized? Would we be individually and collectively happier and healthier?
