What does it mean to be worthy?

We places labels on ourselves and each other to equate a sense of worth. We seek to classify someone by their potential, or who they may be at that moment. All the while we forget the infinite possibilities within and around us that will help shape our future. The dreams we dream about ourselves and others, and the dreams we dream of tomorrow.

We all dream about ourselves, and hope we are worthy of those dreams. We place value on ourselves to determine if the worth we place in each other reaches the height of those dreams. We doubt, seeing what might go wrong, instead of what could go right. Blinded by the myth that we need to reach our ideal of worth in order to contribute. We don’t need permission to be worthy, that label, or any label, does not define us. We need to help, to defend and to evolve ourselves and each other.

We value worth both in ourselves and those around us. The connections that entangle us reduced to numbers and labels. The infinite strings that connect the individual to the collective humanity, and the beauty that lies within those connections is limitless.

All those that surround us, of all the multitude of beautiful hearts beating across the world, each heart that beats with love is worthy. Together the collective heartbeat of humanity is stronger as it beats together. The heartbeat of our world, our species, an echo of life in the darkness reaching upwards towards the light.

Each in our own way we have a contribution for the advancement of ourselves and society. We are each pieces of humanity active within spacetime, each of us a piece to the puzzle, a thread in the tapestry of the human spirit. Each voice, each act of kindness creating the framework for the advancement of society, and the evolution of the individual.

Each contribution is important to the evolution of that collective human expression; that humanity. Our humanity that has propelled us forward from yesterday into today, sparking dreams of the future. Our hopes and dreams carried farther forward by each generation. The heartbeat of humanity beating onwards as each of us looks upwards towards the future of our people.

Our value is far more than can be classified or labeled, and worth is not something that we can assign. Our worth can only be measured by the collective deeds of our species, our infinite echo calling out for tomorrow.

That worth can only be achieved by loving all living things, to protect and defend life. To learn, understand, and grow not only our understanding of what worth means, but what we leave behind in this world. Our legacy, the collective dreams of our ancestors brought to life by the dreams we dream, and the testaments we build from those dreams.

The only worth that will ever matter is the collective legacy of our people. What we stood for, what we love, and whom, the good deeds called by our hearts and souls, and more importantly, what we dream about.

Those dreams, the subconscious hopes we hold in our hearts that show us a vision of the future. These dreams help build up our view of ourselves and each other, to discover the worth within ourselves to help evolve our understanding of worth, to shape the legacy of humankind.

Each person who loves is worthy to discover the future of our people, to chart the course of the collective whole of humankind, and to dream of a better tomorrow. To evolve ourselves, and the worth we see in each other, to ensure that humankind stands worthy, for it is together that we will become worthy.
