Value those around you

One of the only things I remember clearly from the day I married my best friend was in the charge that the preacher( my uncle) to brad and I.

He said...

"To bring value to each other and never devalue"

The more I think on that the wiser that advise seems. I have often thought whats the worst feeling in the world? Is it feeling stupid? feeling ugly? feeling used? feeling alone? I don't know why I ask myself about that but through the years my answer changes from one awful feeling to the next. However, I have come to an answer and settled on it and I do believe that at least for me feeling invaluable is the worst feeling in the world. All the other awful terrible feeling I feel like can be summed up in the one overwhelming feeling of having no value.

Causing someone to feel this way can have a very powerful and negative effect on a person. However, It seems like we constantly devalue one another. The media is the worst offender. Everywhere we turn people are being stripped of their value through crude jokes, name calling, being talked down to, rudeness, sarcasm, the list goes on.

I am taking a stand today to bring value to those around me and be much more mindful of my actions and words in order to stop the harmful chain of devaluing

right here, right now
