YOUR OWN VALUATION

YOUR OWN VALUATION Around the Year with Emmet Fox December 22 The world will take you at your own valuation. Your body will take you at your own valuation. Your business will take you at your own valuation; for the value that you really put upon yourself is the one that manifests. You may say, “But that cannot be true, because I know several people who are always boasting and pretending and yet no one ever takes them seriously.” Please note that I said the value you really put upon yourself. People who boast, bluff, and pretend have really a poor opinion of themselves— or why would they pretend? And it is this poor opinion or sense of inferiority that is demonstrated in the failure that such people always make of their lives. The man who really believes that his wares are excellent does not dream of lying about them. The man who is satisfied with what he is has no incentive to pretend to be something he is not. The man who is conscious of substantial achievement has no desire to boast. Nature always takes you at your own valuation. Believe that you are the child of God. Believe that you express Life, Truth, Love. Believe that Wisdom guides you. Believe that you are a special enterprise on the part of God— and what you really believe, that you will demonstrate. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be” … 1 John 3:2
