Happy finals week, Beavers! You’re so close to the finish line.
I know this is a challenging time for many students, which is why I thinks it’s a great opportunity to remind you that you are important and valuable– depite how the end of the term shapes up for you.
When life is weighing me down and I feel ‘less than’, I like to remind myself of Claudia A. Howard’s Laws of Human Worth, described below by these 5 axioms:
- All have infinite, eternal, and unconditional worth as people.
- All have equal worth as people. Worth is not competative or comparative.
- Externals neither add to nor diminsh worth. Externals include things like money, looks, performance, and achievements. Worth as a person is unchanging.
- Worth is stable and never in jeopardy (even when someone rejects you).
- Worth doesn’t have to be earned or proved. It already exists. Just recognize, accept, and appreciate it.
You got this!
