Self-Worth
Self-worth is still a concept I am deeply learning. Diving into the depths of the soul to uncover immaculate beauty. In my opinion, self-worth is probably the most powerful tool to have embodied within the heart and mind. I have come to the conclusion that self-worth cannot be obtained, it can only be realized. I know that I have been blinded by my blockages, bandages, traumas, challenges and slowly had my self-worth depleted. I understand now that when it’s given to someone else, it becomes extremely difficult to get back. Though not impossible. The narratives that the ego creates within the mind can be so damaging to self-worth. Filling the ego’s insatiable hunger for gratification, validation, affection and love is derived from a place of lack from within.
Self-worth. The word “self” implies that it is only one person. You.
I realize I have had it all along. I am already worthy, I am already enough. I am beautiful, resilient, courageous and more. Once I realized this, I no longer entertain the thoughts, or conversations, or people who might jeopardize the healing journey I’m walking. I accept all parts of my wounds as a part of my story, as a part of my journey. They are only just a “part” of the book and not the whole thing. My story is going to be a masterpiece when I’m done writing it.
Have you noticed that you’ve created barriers to your self-worth?
Do you think you are worthy?
We will never be more than what we see ourselves at and that creates limitations within our lives. Focus on the quality of the amount of progress that you are making, not the duration of how long it’s taking to get there.
I own my story. I am leading every relationship (new and old) with vulnerability because that is when I get to truly be authentic. I encourage you to do the same. There’s a vast amount of healing that comes from authenticity. The more self-awareness you gain, the more you realize how magnificent you are and how worthy you already were.
Lead with love, light and joy. Reach into that deepest part of yourself to uncover the self-worth that’s been waiting for you all along.
Pray. The guidance from above opens up many windows of opportunity. This has been a crucial part of my healing. There’s healing in prayer.
You are loved. You are valued. You are important.
You are worthy.
