Worthiness
How is it that so many of us believe our worth is conditional? We learn as we grow up to associate self-worth with achievement. Furthermore, our culture does not reward those who are happy just to be. Instead, we must keep laboring away until we can do something well. Even then, some types of work are highly valued over others, so we have to find the right job to do to get by. Today, it is time to recognize that you are worthy just because you exist. It is time to realize that external validation will never make you content. It only keeps you hungry for more. In truth, your worth cannot be assigned a value. It simply is. Because you are alive, you are just as worthy as anyone who has lived before, is living now, or will live after. In truth, we all come into the world the same and leave the same way. Our lives may differ widely in content but not in value. None of us start deficient in worth. We need not go on a lifelong journey to earn our worth by moving up in the world. Our worth remains steadfast regardless of how our lives take shape. Work does not shape your worth. No matter how you decide to share your skills and talents, the world will be better off, even if you alone trust the value in what you do and who you are. Today, create some time to integrate this knowledge that you are worthy just because you exist. Learning more about your inherent worth means unlearning life's harsh, ingrained principles as you have come to know them. Today, set your intentions to stop seeking achievement and improvement and choose to be content with who you are right now. Today, accept that you alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Just for today, I accept that I am worthy because I exist. And so it is.
