Every human being is working on issues of self-love and self-esteem. You are too, or you would not exist in the physical world right now. Placing value on how you expend your perceived time and energy may seem a daunting task. This goes beyond the quandry of how much to charge for your services if that happens to relate to your work. Placing value on how you serve is one of the most challenging questions people find to answer.
From my own experience, part of my learning curve has been to accept assistance from others when there was no way to repay them. It was not simply an issue of money, but a lesson in the value of giving without the desire to receive in return. It has always felt great for me to give and not always receive back, but even that experience to an extreme taught me the immeasurable value of reciprocity.
Human beings can develop guilt complexes about being on the receiving end of love. To recognize and confront your own resistance about accepting helps you gain priceless insight into yourself. The idea of 'how much you are worth?' is not really a valid question.
Each time you doubt you deserve attention or love, you are draining your own life energy and denying your own needs. Extreme denial or complete surrender to love energy reveal different sides to your personality. As you move away from the material answer of your tangible value, you approach the spiritual truth of yoru intrinsic worth. How deeply you explore this in yoru thoughts and feelings, will greatly strengthen your positive thinking.
