Esther's Espirational Message - The Difference ...
Too often our ego drives our attitudes and perceptions. Especially when it comes to fame and status. Being seen. Being in the public eye becomes the goal and our filters become hazy. When we realise that coming from an abundance mindset can get us everything we desire or that which is for us, we realise our worth. The power of recognising our worth over status is key. Over the past few weeks I've had to step up my self worth thermometer. What about you? Is it time to leverage up? Or is it time to learn some lessons about what you're asking for?
