As we gather here to explore this vital topic, I'd like to begin by introducing myself in a

way that underscores the significance of recognizing one's own worth and potential. You see, I'm
not just an individual with a name and a history; I am a testament to the power of self-worth.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning! I am Jessa Rose Rita, a proud resident of Barangay
Manalongon. Before I begin, I would like to give credit to the owner of this beautiful piece, Mrs.
Jody Urquhart, one of North America's top keynote speakers. Today, I want to talk to you about
something incredibly important, something that each and every one of us should understand and
embrace ̶ ̶ the concept of knowing your worth.

Everytime you look outside yourself to determine your value, you’re looking in the
wrong place. Look inside you, you know your worth. When you look to others for validation or
signs of significance, you weaken yourself. They don't know you, you know you. When you
want approval from others, you weaken your resolve. When you need approval from others, you
go further from your truth. When you need approval from others, you do things for the wrong
reasons. Your value is in you. Know your worth. Don't let anyone ever tear you down. Build
yourself back up. Don't let other people put their self-doubt inside you.

Let go of limiting beliefs and grab onto hope. Trust. You can't ask for something new and
expect nothing to change. Let go of the doubts that hold you back. Let go of fears that consume
you. Let go of needing others approval. Within you right now is what all that you need to
accomplish what you want. Now you must lift your energy back up. When something doesn't feel
right, when you feel heavy, when people's words make you feel bad, run, leave. They don't
determine your worth, you do, protect your value.

Don't let other people's negativity lead you astray. When someone or something puts
doubt or fear in you, turn it into hope. Your thoughts are powerful. You are powerful. Say
inspiring thoughts to yourself every day. Alter how you think. Your thoughts create your future.
Turn doubt into hope. Turn fear into a belief. Turn resentment into love. You create the future
you deserve. Nobody else does. Don't let doubt bring you down. Don't let others doubt make you
hide. Trust yourself. Trust your value. Know your worth.

Immerse yourself in patience. Keep believing in yourself. Your mind is powerful.

Everything happens because of your thoughts. That's why you need to believe in yourself. Deny
negative people in your life. Do things that inspire you. Believe in yourself today. Chose to
experience something different. Life is full of possibilities. Forget what others tell you. Tell
yourself how important you are. Tell others about your dreams. Believe in yourself; feel your
power. Know your worth.
