Guard Your Worth and Discern the Glitter

If It Glitters and It Is Exposed, You Are the Target

When you hear the phrase, "All that glitters is not gold," what comes to mind?

This should remind you that not everything that shines holds true value.

I know you appreciate fine things, don’t we all?

But let me urge you to exercise caution before rushing to acquire something glittery, especially when you already know it’s not gold.

Take a day, a month or even a year to pause and reflect before making decisions about what appears enticing on the surface.

Why this advice?

Most true treasures are priceless gifts from God. They are rare and deeply hidden.

They aren’t flashy or readily available for everyone to see or claim.

If the treasure you seek is easily accessible to all, it’s likely not of significant value.

True treasures are often buried beneath the dust, hidden under layers of stone or cloaked behind the facade of normalcy.

They require effort, discernment and patience to uncover.

Anything that’s openly accessible, easy to acquire, and within everyone’s reach is rarely precious.

Real value doesn’t parade itself.

It remains grounded, unassuming, and reserved for those willing to pay the price, whether in time, effort or sacrifice.

This principle applies not only to material possessions but also to your personal worth.

Guard Your Worth

Be intentional about your presence.

Make yourself scarce and less accessible.

Accessibility often leads to familiarity and over time, familiarity can erode your perceived value.

Not everyone deserves your energy, your time, or your attention.

Reserve your best self for those who truly matter, your family, your inner circle, and those who uplift your journey.

Your family deserves the fullness of you, not mere fragments shared with business associates or casual acquaintances.

So, be wise.

Be rare.

Be intentional in everything you do.

Prioritize your growth, nurture your true treasures and never let what glitters on the surface distract you from the hidden gems within.

Peace and Progress.
