This is what i spent my whole day composing and meditating on after creating the promotional graphics for steemit #openmic organized by @steemingcurators.
I have written the first part and i just had to sit today to complete this second part of the write up!
So I mentioned in the first part that certain things doesn't determine your value.

THIGNS THAT DOESN'T DETERMINE YOUR VALUE.
●MONEY
●CLOTHS
●THE HOUSE YOU LIVE
●YOUR FAMILY BACKGROUND
●YOUR EDUCATIONAL LEVEL
●THE CAR YOU DRIVE
I mentioned in the first part of this post that I'll explain how the above listed element doesn't define who you are in the second part.
In other to get the full context, kindly read the first part here
Now is the second part and I'd love you to follow me with the eye of the mmind. Open your mind so that you can hear me.

Your value doesn't depend on...
1. MONEY
Firstly, you can not measure your uniqueness and value in terms of your financial status. All things that exist exists for the human, not the human for anything! When money is considered as the smaller thing, the value of the human is revealed. But when essence is given to money above the human, the human is devalued.
Money will fail, but the true human can always evolve.
2. THE CLOTHS YOU WEAR
Th cloths you put on doesn't make you valuable. Most people have been indebted because they tried to impress people by what they wear and put on. Some would even go to the extent of getting loans in other to by cloths that they may impress other people. But you really do not need to impress anyone with what you put on, what you put on doesn't define you, it is you who gives value to what you are putting on.
3. THE HOUSE YOU LIVE
I have seen a lot of people who tried to live in a luxurious house to feel important, as times goes on they couldn't afford the mortgage or rent and they are asked to vacate the house. If they had known that living in a big house doesn't mean you are big,neither living in a small house doesn't make you small. In life, you just get to maintain your lane and know what fits you the most so that you don't end up being embarrassed by a situation you could have avoided.
A king is not a king because he lives in a palace, but the palace is called palace because the king resides in there.The palace doesn't make the king, it is the king that makes the palace.
4. YOUR FAMILY BACKGROUND
Sometimes we forget how valuable we are because of the background we hail from. But we should keep in mind this saying, 'YOUR BACKGROUND SHOULD PUT YOUR BACK ON THE GROUND'. You are unique and your family background doesn't determine your destiny. You came into the world to fulfill a destiny and purpose which has nothing to do with your background. If you limit yourself by the location of your birth or by the family you came from, then it is your fault. You may be born in the poorest family and still become the richest person in the world. Life doesn't limit a man who doesn't limit himself.
No matter how lowly your family background is, you can always rise above it. If you were not born with a silver spoon, you can get yourself a golden spoon from the market.
5. YOUR EDUCATIONAL LEVEL
A lot of people have been denied rights in life because of their educational level. But most of the wealth in the world are not revealed through education. @surpassinggoogle would say, 'legitimate illiterate', this is the real concept of human evolution. Most of the discoveries of science are a result of legitimate illiteracy. All the great scientists didn't invent learning in the class room. Most of them came up with different scientific inventions and laws while they mined their human and gave essence of to the real person of their being. Their inventions later became education(subjects and courses) for others to study.
So what is called education now was created by some uneducated legitimate illiterates because they gave value to themselves and tapped their real human potential (mining their human).
Its not about education some times, it about how you can educate the world with your own innovation.
6. THE CAR YOU DRIVE
Having a car or no car doesn't make you something or deny you from being something. What drives a person is more important than what he drives. I am not concerned about the car your drive if what drives you would not impact the world. Above owning a car, you must value what drives you everyday. What drives you is what determines how far you will go. So I will measure you value in life by what drives you and not what you drive.
What drives you is a factor of your thinking faculty. You thinking faculty depends on how you perceive yourself.
Conclusion...
Life is not designed to maltreat you, life treats you based on how you perceive yourself.
In summary, I'm saying, certain things are just not relevant. You are more important than any other thing you are pursing.
Some people are indebted because they tried to acquire certain things they could have avoided. They did it to impress people, because they are ignorant that real value is in the human. When you know who you are, you'll never worry about things that doesn't matter again.
