Declare Your Self Worth

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have. 
~Thomas Edison

We live in a materialistic society.  Many people desire to be rich and define themselves and others by their net worth.  There are television shows and magazines dedicated solely to discussing the lives of the privileged.  If there is anything that we can learn from the gossip magazines and tabloid TV shows, is that wealth does not equal happiness.  What should be taken from these programs is that the stars are just like us.  The happiest people define themselves by time spent with friends and family and selfless charitable activities.  They define their own self worth by knowing who they are.  Do not let others categorize you by what you have.  Declare your own self worth by who you are.
