The phrase “don’t cast your pearls to swine” is a profound reminder of the importance of protecting what is valuable in your life. It suggests that not everyone can or will appreciate your worth, and it’s your responsibility to ensure that your gifts, talents, and love are placed in the right hands. But how do you recognize when you’re in situations or relationships that don’t honor your value? More importantly, how do you shift your mindset to demand the respect and recognition you deserve?
First, it starts with self-awareness. Many times, we find ourselves undervalued not because others can’t see our worth, but because we haven’t fully acknowledged it ourselves. If you don’t value your own pearls, you’ll inevitably end up offering them to people who treat them as if they’re nothing special. I’ve learned this the hard way through personal experiences.
I once lowered my rate to help a friend on a project, only to discover that another colleague, who valued their work, charged their full price. When we were paid, the discrepancy in our earnings bothered me. But upon reflection, I realized it wasn’t my friend’s fault—it was mine. By underpricing my service, I had already devalued my work before it even began. The lesson was clear: if you don’t recognize your own worth, don’t expect others to do it for you.
This principle applies to every area of life, whether it’s a romantic relationship, a business collaboration, or even interactions within your family. People often treat you based on the standard you set for yourself. When you present yourself as someone deserving of respect, that is exactly how you’ll be treated. But if you diminish your worth—by accepting less than you deserve, by staying in spaces that don’t appreciate you—you’ll find that others will follow suit.
To truly embrace your worth, you must first recognize it within yourself. Start by valuing your time, your gifts, your love, and your energy. Step away from environments that don’t uplift you and align yourself with spaces and people who appreciate what you have to offer. Only then will you find yourself surrounded by those who can truly appreciate the value of your pearls.
Remember, choose environments and relationships that reflect your true worth. Choose value. Choose you.
