{Guest Post} Realizing we are Priceless Precious Valuable

{Guest Post} by Pamela Maddock,
originally written in response to this Facebook post 
During some very low times
Feeling worthless was always present

I came in contact with a person 
who had a different eyes view of my situation.
We talked consistently

One day I was shown something in a sketch
A ladder 
a stick person on a ladder taking their first steps
like a little child trying to reach up for the first step.

At the top 3 rungs with these 3 words
Priceless
Precious
Valuable.

Then this person said
That's you.

The tears were many
The answer was up to me 
to look at my life and rise above everything else

Focus
Focus on me

I said I feel selfish
Reply
Be selfish for a while and heal me.

I am forever grateful.

....

I see that ladder sometimes

Take a deep breath and climb again.
It's called life and it really sucks sometimes.
