Invest in people that add value to your life

The late Virginia Satir, pioneer family therapist, author and consultant, stated that coping with our problems is the real problem in life and not the problems themselves. She placed a great deal of emphasis on the importance of developing a strong sense of self-worth because it is that that generates your capacity to cope. She also believed that when everyone in a family system was committed to developing and fostering self-worth in each other and themselves, it made it possible to cope with life out in the public arena, the outside world.

In this season of radical, unprecedented, accelerated change, accompanied by a high degree of uncertainty, it is more important than ever that you know how to maintain your sense of self-worth. What course can you remember taking anywhere between grammar school and grad school taught you how to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth? It`s an important life-skill, however it isn`t on the "required course" list in school, and it isn`t even offered as an elective. Healthy self-worth is now a more valuable currency and necessary skill to have than ever before. Have you developed it?
