The Story >>

She was in pursuit. She was trying to find the meaning of life. Perhaps she was searching for her own worth, her place in life. For a long time, for example, she had been trying to figure out what she loved in life and what motivated her. Shortly after saying, “I think I’ve found it!” she had said, “That wasn’t it after all,” or “It doesn’t really matter that much.”

The recording angel recorded this entire process; on the other hand, he found the people’s pursuit interesting. That angels, with curiosity and a search for meaning, would do things that were as invisible as they themselves were… The angel couldn’t even imagine it!

Being Valued or Not

Sometimes you don’t feel valued where you are—whether in your own country, perhaps within your own family, or wherever you find yourself. You feel as if the things you do aren’t appreciated enough. In reality, the things you do are beautiful, and you want to be valued.

Did you know ?

Van Gogh is one of those painters whose value was recognized after his death.

John Nash wrote his doctoral dissertation on game theory. Despite this, he received the Nobel Prize for this work when he was 66—approximately 40 years after completing it.

Honoré de Balzac did not achieve success in his career as a writer of poems, short serialized novels, and newspaper articles, as well as in publishing and printing. He eventually found his place in the literary world by writing novels.

The Place Where Your Worth Is Recognized

How about setting out toward the stages that will make you shine?

Prophet Joseph’s departure from the land of Canaan and his journey to power in Egypt…

After jobs where you’re no longer given a role, or projects where you’ve never been the lead, meeting your true followers—the ones who actually gift you your leading role—through your solo performances…

And what truly determines our worth? Others? The work we do? Isn’t it enough simply that we were born into this world, that we exist in this life, that we were created?

How long can we continue to live according to someone’s expectations? In this fleeting world, who can know the true value of our existence? Did we forget the Creator who brought us into being from nothing?

Greetings to everyone who ultimately understands his/her own worth and strives for it!
