During her visit over the holidays, my friend Lisa, whom I've known for 16 years, asked me a question that really made me pause. Late one night, she inquired, "What is the biggest lesson you've learned while bringing your vision to life?" This made me ponder the myriad lessons I've gained, but one shines brighter than the rest: recognizing that my self-worth isn't tied to my net worth.
The trials you encounter often correlate with the blessings waiting for you. As a single mother venturing into full-time entrepreneurship, I've faced significant financial challenges. Knowing that God has abundant blessings for me kept me resilient during lean times. If I equated my self-worth with my net worth, I might have quit in my first year, as many startups do. Did you know that enduring financial hardship is a common theme in many success stories?
For over 11 years, I have studied prosperity and abundance. I recall reading about creating abundance, where the author noted, "You will know you're ready for wealth when your emotions aren't tied to your money." Initially, this seemed implausible. How could someone remain emotionally stable regardless of their bank balance? I used to perceive a direct link between the two.
Now, I understand the author’s point. To be prepared for financial abundance, you must remain steady, whether your account is overdrawn by $25 or holds $25 million. God needs to know that you are consistent and unchanged. Reflect on this as you work toward your vision. Can you remain the same regardless of your financial situation? Do you feel more secure with money in your wallet than without? Do you equate personal worth with financial status?
People often treat those with money differently, posing a challenge to living out this understanding. But grasp this truth: Your self-worth is not your net worth. Who you are isn't determined by how much money you have, the car you drive, or the restaurants you frequent. Your self-esteem doesn’t hinge on your wallet’s contents or your bank account balance.
My greatest lesson has been learning to remain consistent, knowing I am called for great things and embracing that truth at all times. Initially, a low bank balance instigated panic and tears, but now it doesn't sway me. I trust God’s promises and provisions.
Here's the magic: Once you grasp that your self-worth is separate from your net worth, and detach your emotions from money, you reach a new understanding. Your net worth naturally stems from your self-worth. As your self-worth grows, you'll confidently share your work with others, and financial wealth will follow as a result. The good news is, by then, you'll be detached from money's influence, allowing it to fulfill its purpose?"to multiply.
