Colors. By scientific definitions, colors are particles of light reflecting off surfaces. But colors can mean more than that; they can visually represent emotions, symbolism, and memories. One might connect blue with the sky, the sea, or something special to them.
In common color terminology, gold alludes to wealth, success, and positivity. Gold can also mean compassion, wisdom, and one’s own self-worth. Some days, it’s more difficult to remember our self-worth, and that’s okay. Life isn’t always going to be easy. It’s important to remember your own self-worth in the midst of the crazy buzz.
Mrs. Strange teaches the faith-based leadership class called Habitudes (it’s a great class, totally recommend checking it out) here at SGA, and Habitudes is learning about leadership and what it means. One such lesson from Habitudes is called “The Starving Baker,” and it’s a reminder that leaders must lead themselves if they want to take care of others. In this particular case, I mean take care of yourself in little ways. It’s great to help your friends, family, and other people, but don’t forget to take some time for you; whether it’s a small nap, going to eat some ice cream, or setting five minutes aside to read your bible and pray, do it. Sometimes, you need “you” time to refill yourself and get back on track.
Everyone is special in their own way. You (yes, YOU) are completely unique. Romans 12:6, “Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith,” and 1 John 3:1, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” Take this as a reminder that you are positively loved and are 100% unique.
The next time you see something gold, remember your own beautiful self-worth.
