{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.
