Your weight does not define you

Your weight does not define you

We’re conditioned to think of our weight as the primary measure of health.

Bombarded with messages of its importance.

Magazine covers.

Social media ads.

Countless books and programs.

All suggesting that we “should” see some number on the scale.

That once we reach it, we’ll be happy, confident, or successful.

We pursue that number to the detriment of our quality of life.

Letting it dictate what kind of day we’re going to have.

Weight is not deserving of such power.

Your weight tells you one thing.

Your gravitational relationship to Earth.

It doesn't report how much you're loved.

It doesn't quantify your value as a human being.

It doesn't measure how much you've given to the world.

Your weight does not define you.

Of course, it isn’t a useless metric.

It can provide insight toward your health, in some contexts.

However, it’s not worthy of the emphasis we so often place on it.

There are other metrics to consider.

Smiles, laughter, hugs, and the warmth of your heart.

By all means, seek to be healthy, strong, and capable.

But do so driven from a place of love for yourself and for others.

So that you can pursue your best life.

Fulfill your purpose.

Shine your unique light.

You are worthy.

You’ve got this.

What if we simply listened?

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you
