You have probably seen in movies how expensive pearls can be. Did you know the process that it has to go through to actually become the lustrous value that it is? A pearl is just a rock that irritates a muscle or clam and once the stone irritates the sea creature, fluid is released over a long period that turns that rock into a pearl. Did you know the same is true of a diamond or even gold? All of those items are just regular objects that have become precious things that people pay a lot of money for after it has endured a period of time and a really rough process. Your life is the exact same way. You may be an ordinary person, but you've gone through so much to become who you are today. You must value your own experiences. The things you’ve endured are what makes you valuable.
