While washing dishes, for some reason or another, dialogues and writings from others of the life coach discipline about being an asset came to my mind.

In years past up to now, there has been a crusade (regarding relationships) about what people bring to the table.  This means what value (appeal, merit, substance, wealth, etc.) they are bringing to the relationship.  Majority of what has been delivered to us has been fixated on needing to BE an asset in the relationship.  Well, everyone is part asset.  Thus, we don’t need to BE that alone.  Instead of focusing on being an asset, we should focus on bringing the resources AND the responsibilities to the relationship.  This will assist in accurately calculating how valuable WE are to each other.

What is OUR net worth in OUR relationship?

In this parable, there is a woman who portrays herself as a woman of moral integrity.  She works, she has her own home, she provides for her household, she nurtures her children, she rides well, dresses well, her make-up and hair are always nice and neat, her nails are groomed, her feet are soft, she smells good, she is cordial, etc.  On the contrary, she doesn’t pay her bills on time, she bounces checks on an account that is closed by 5 figures overdrawn, she’s not a giver to the less fortunate, she’s not cooperative, she lacks humility, her children sees her two-facedness, and her speech is foul.

Assets and liabilities!  What is her net worth that she is bringing to the relationship?  The sum total of her ‘on the contrary’ makes her net worth (yaqar yaw-kawr) far below rubies.  It would BE to her advantage to rid herself of those liabilities and owner’s equity.  If not, they will depreciate her by compound scores.  SELAH!

Truly, the center of our attention should zoom in on our net worth status.  Are we consistently increasing in seven-fold health and soul prosperity?  Although this is not about deducing us to an economic equation or comparing us to the rate of a dollar, without a doubt, when our liabilities outweigh our assets our net worth will BE full of no value.  I sincerely encourage you all to stop increasing your assets (assets = owners’ equity + + + + liabilities) and start increasing your positive net worth (assets – – – – liabilities = net worth).

Know your worth for real!
