You Are Worthy!

When you were born, you effortlessly accepted love and nurturing from your caregivers. You didn't have blocks when it came to love. Nor did you think that it would inconvenience your parents while they are trying to sleep at night. Infants don't think twice to cry or make a rattle when they need to be fed or changed. They demand love and attention. And they do it without guilt or embarrassment.

Somewhere along the years we learned that it is not okay to voice what we want, let alone what we need; more so, be how we want or need.

When this happens we find ourselves settling into:
​~ jobs that don't make us happy
~ spending time with people who don't fulfill us
~ comparing ourselves to one another, and
~ giving our energy to things that deplete us

As your self-worth increases:
~ you will begin to stop hiding aspects of yourself because absolutely everything in and about you is so damn worthy to be seen
~ Your fear of being misunderstood will start to lessen
~ You show up in a way that the world needs you and is effective; and
~ You begin to ask for more of what you deserve.

Today, I encourage you to:

STOP LIVING WHO YOU EXPECTED TO BE
Live who you desire to be. If you are a mother, a girlfriend or a wife I can just about guarantee that the need to show up is even more for you. Women feel they need be EVERYTHING for everyone. Take care of your primary needs and give what you are capable of giving without depleting your inner well, because when you cannot function for yourself, you infinitely cannot function for humankind. Ask for help from your loved ones if you must, but share the responsibilities to get some breathing room. You cannot and should not do it alone.

BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTHY OF...
...Because you believed that once. Before your programming came into play, before you learned and took on new behaviors you knew you were worthy; and that joy, sincerity, love, appreciation are all your birthright. You were worthy then and you are worthy now.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOW UP AS YOU ARE
Authenticity guides you to find and right people who will instantly appreciate the light they see in you. The people who don't mind your odd sense of humor, your quirks and unusual way of looking at things are so worthy to be in your circle, for they are saying, "The weird in you is a breath of fresh air. The potentiality in me sees the potentiality in you." Be who you are and don't be afraid to wear it on the outside.

And remember: The world isn't going to heal if the best parts of you are hidden. It is going to grow from your authenticity and willingness to be show up.

Don't half ass it. The world needs you, just the way you are.
