What are you worth?

Do you know your value before someone else places it on you?
In order to answer that question one may perhaps need to ask what makes oneself valuable?
Is value somehow given by birth through bone structure, complexion, height,  genetics?
Rather, is value earned from good deeds, hard work, kindness, and following all TEN of the commandments in private/public?
Are you deemed valuable and virtuous because someone asked you to marry them and you said "yes"?
Or perhaps is it the sheer number of heads you can turn, number you can get, friend requests you receive on any given day? Oh that must surely mean value...or does it?
You see I am still asking these very questions because many of these themes were my very own litmus test in measuring and attempting to illustrate MY value.
Yet, it has been NONE of these themes that honestly defineed value.
Value isn't a lifetime appointment handed to you from someone else (parents, children, opposite sex, friends, colleagues). It isn't something you have to earn nor can you earn.
Slaves worked to accumulate value for their owners, but WE are not slaves and we have no owners.
Value is a birthright.We each come into this world with it.
No matter your last name or first, no matter your lineage, neighborhood, physical build, or mental capacity.You still have value.
However, value is diminished when it's carelessly handed over to someone else to determine or define it for you. Using themes of love, acts of love, material items,and a laundry list of physical make-ups to place/rank/order ones value.Wow!
Your value can never be quatifiably measured.
I would even venture to state that one person's value can not exceed another.
