How can I assess my worth

The man asked the sage, “How can I assess my worth?”

The sage answered:

“Ask yourself: Who am I without my trappings – my visage, my wealth, my possessions, my education, my status, my achievements?

Am I a reflection of my possessions, or do they merely reflect my fears and desires? Seek the essence that lies beneath the glitter, for true worth is not measured by what is amassed, but by what is given freely and with love.

It is found in the depth of your soul, in the quiet whisper of your conscience, in the love you bestow, and in the peace you harbor within. Strip away all that is transient, and what remains is your true self, a treasure beyond all earthly measures.”
