Self-worth(less?)

[DavidMunoz]

Great accomplishments after great accomplishments, but without a sense of true satisfaction. Then it brings on the question of: 'where does one choose to derive their sense of satisfaction' therefore a sense of being; since all 'being' is in association with striving for fulfillment and satisfaction.

Does one need to look out into the world for external stimuli or rather look into oneself? But the self can be void of presence. If nothing has been able to sustain itself within, how could one have the capacity to know how to hold anything.

In all, from a friend to another, enjoy every emotion as if it was your last because many are deprived of any such language to command.

This brings it DavidM. In my head, it evokes striving to thrive, and holding onto values that matter to me. To embrace what's been deeply difficult, as parts of me that I know, and I acknowledge they're there. Letting self-awareness settle over me can sometimes bring a sense of being present, and accepting how I present myself. There are other times, where I will feel awash in emotions, and when they include grief, anger, and sadness, it's a struggle. I'll often seek music, gardens, a movie, or some distraction at those times.

I'm not sure what to consider at this moment, where others may have pushed emotions into unyielding compartments?

I think you speak to something that I understood but did not immediately evoke itself when I was writing this piece. Self-awareness as the presence Is powerful. In all my years I understood presence as a historical, dated or something remembered in which we hold on to for a later date, therefore creating its presence within ourselves. But presence in its actuality is awareness of the self and what emotions arise. Thank you for this, it’s helped me understand my words much better.

But to possibly answer the question about what to consider. I think considering all emotions as equal, regardless if they’re painful or joyful, is part of the self awareness you talk about therefore creating a hierarchy can only bring displeasure once emotions arise. In other words, equating all emotions as equal can limit the anxiety of having emotions you define as painful. Let me know if you’d like me to clear any of this up.
