Important question for you today. Have you ever looked at someone else’s life or social media accounts and thought “Wow, they totally have their life together” and then start to feel so “less than”? And then maybe you feel the need to buy or do those same things they are doing to try and feel accomplished and worthy? Have you made dreams and goals for yourself and even tried pursuing them and then see others who have become so much more successful and think you could never get to that level? So, then maybe you start telling yourself you could never have that much luck or success, or feel disappointed in yourself because you’ve yet to become accomplished? This can be such a downward spiral that I don’t want to see any of you beauties head towards! So, I have something to share with you today.
“To be worthy does not mean to be perfect.” I look at these words and think this is total common sense, but most of us today, especially in our society, still strive for perfection. I know I’ve had my struggles with perfection and ya know what, it’s Exhausting!! When we constantly try to grasp that perfect life and appearance we may become overwhelmed with disappointment, fatigue, and even depression. I’m here to tell you all that I have been there, and guys, it’s time to put that struggle behind. We are already Worthy for the things we want most in life. We are worthy for love, we are worthy for those dreams in our grasp, we are worthy for acceptance, every. single. one. of us! Once you realize your worth you will start to feel so much more alive, you will feel assurance, relief, confidence, and you will feel happiness. Surrender your self doubt, let go of judgement, let go of the “perfect” struggle. Since we only have this one life to live I encourage you to look at yourself in the mirror, think about the things you strive for the most in your life, and say out-loud to yourself “I am Enough, I AM WORTHY!” And you are worthy NOW. Just come as you are and go for it!
With that being said, having goals and dreams is also what keeps us a l i v e through the day-to-day. Right?! It’s so important to continue the strive to accomplishment. I have a little tip for you guys to help inspire you on your way, to keep your head in the game, and away from all the negative energy. I learned this recently and am So excited to do it myself and for you all to try it out!
Take a sheet of paper and cut it in half.
On the left side of the paper identify:
-Disrespects and bad breaks
-People who don’t like you
-Deals that went wrong
-Unfair expectations
-Bad situations
-Unfortunate outcomes
-Unfairness
On the right side of the paper identify:
-Priviledges
-Advantages
-Opportunities
-Benefit of the Doubt
-Leverage
-Momentum
-Things you see that others don’t
-Angles/What’s working, what’s always worked
-The resources you can tap
-The things you know
-The people you can trust
When you are finished. Take one list and put it in the drawer and take it out once a month or year to remind yourself that it’s there and it’s safe and sound. Take the other list and put it on your bathroom mirror. Read this one everyday. This will determine what you notice, how you interpret what you see, and the story you tell yourself about what’s happening and what will happen. And here is the kicker, you get to choose which list goes where! So choose wisely! One may have a bigger influence than the other.
