I have value just because I am alive.
I keep on saying this, because I've only started to realize and believe it in the past month.
Living and breathing. That's all I need to do to have worth in this world.
For 30 years, I wanted to be a millionaire. Or billionaire. And I put the majority of my thoughts, words, and actions into this.
But I didn't know a lot about business when I set off on my own three years ago. And I probably shouldn't have left graduate school before finishing.
But nonetheless, it took two autoimmune diseases and insulin resistance and a 35-pound weight gain and a gambling addiction (and probably a food addiction) to finally admit to myself that I needed help. My therapist told me I need to start finding my self-worth in areas other than work.
Ironically, I think that's going to make me more successful in the long run. Concentrating now on my health, my recovery, and my fitness is going to make me someone who is a well-rounded individual who is able to be kind and think of others and live a life of service. As it was before, I could not.
