Worthy

What determines your value? Is it your bank account, is it your social status, your career, your friends, your parents, your partner! Who or what determines how much your worth?

I am learning that our worth is an inside job. There are no outside circumstances that will make you feel worthy if on the inside you do not value who you are.

Our worth is established at an early age, our parents, teachers, family, society and religion all teach us how to value ourselves. We learn to value our self by how someone treats us. Words and actions from others all have an effect on how we see our self.  We integrate others perceptions of who we are.  We buy into other people beliefs. But what happens when other people’s belief are wrong?

Our subconscious is filled with all these beliefs that we have come to believe about who we are. And then we try all our adult life to prove how worthy we are, not really understanding why we struggle so hard to achieve fulfillment. Happiness constantly escapes us. We constantly judge our self for not being enough. For not being enough intelligent, enough beautiful, enough money, enough friends, enough love. It is never enough. The hole we have inside is never satisfied, never at peace. Always trying to prove, always yearning, always crying, always suffering and always empty. It is a losing battle.

Only when you begin to question and challenge these beliefs and start loving and accepting who you are and believing in your own worthiness, you can then come to value your true loving Self.

No matter what you were taught about yourself, it is never too late to change how you perceive yourself. It is always your choice. You have the power within.

Consistently showing yourself the love, compassion, gentleness, kindness, acceptance and forgiveness that you deserve, will you then be able to shift how you value yourself.

No one, no circumstances, possession or accomplishments in your outer world can make you fill worthy.  That comes from you. Love yourself, be patient and trust that The Divinity in you is clearing a path to your wonderful Self.

So remember when you don’t get that job, or that relationship you so desired , or that raised you needed, when the circumstances in your life are challenging, just breathe and know deep inside yourself that it has nothing to do with your worth.

You are worthy because you existence, this automatically gives you the right to be worthy of your life. No matter what anyone or anything says or does. No exceptions!

 As always the love begins with you.
