Ever Wonder What You Are Worth

It’s been two months in my new job and it’s been an exhilarating and a new learning experience every day. I recall the most important thing I learned which is very applicable out of office also.

I’m handling setting up of processes for the most premium niche of customers of the bank. The crème de la crème basically. To adhere to their extraordinary demands, I have to make demands likewise from supporting units in the bank which sometimes feels unrealistic and unfair to me. I discussed this with a colleague of mine and will never forget what he told me
‘If you feel your customers are not worth it, everyone else will also feel the same. And if you believe they are worth it, you can demand the sky and no one can refuse you’

It all lies in what you believe and the world will believe the same.

We grow up with a very positive self esteem, I know I did. Our parents make us believe we are the best, nothing is unachievable, no one is better. So we set standards for ourselves because we believe we deserve the best.
Somewhere through life, we start compromising. Due to family, jobs, peer pressures, others’ beliefs in what we are or what we are not capable of, we change our perception of ourselves and start lowering our expectations from life. We aim for or settle for less than the better. We believe the best is not for us but for someone else and so the world also accepts that.

We reduce our own worth in front of the world. We choose not to give ourselves the best that is out there.

If you look at a child, they feel they deserve the moon and will go ahead and ask for it. My one year old nephew knows no boundaries, no pain, no fear, and no limits. He is all over the place, climbing over all the furniture, talking on our mobiles, getting into our cupboards and our clothes. To him, he is worthy of everything. Demands everything and we usually give into him – Why – because he won’t give up till he gets what he wants.

Let’s all become kids again. Believe we are the best and proclaim it to the world out there. Throw tantrums till we get what we want.

Because no one deserves it more than us. We are the Best. We are worth the best.
