What Makes You Worthy?
Posted by: | CommentsHave you ever considered what makes you worthy of goodness, love, and abundance? In our society it often breeds us to believe we are worthy when we “do good”, have accomplishments, and demonstrate “success” by the material belongings one possesses. Measuring success whether one has experienced the American Dream, buying a home and furnishing it with lovely belongings. Driving that luxury car for others to see and for some to think “wow – he/she has made it!”
The truth – these material belongings certainly can bring beauty and joy into our physical lives and are meant to be cherished and experienced. However, they in and of themselves do not determine one’s worthiness or prove a person is a success (or good enough).
I have walked many paths on this journey to self acceptance, love, connection, and inner peace. For many years walking the commonly treaded path of proving myself through accomplishments and acquisitions; another of unintentionally shedding these belongings and experiencing when all was gone a sense of true self underneath it all; now living with intention to experience abundance flowing from a deeper sense of self, worthiness, and connection with the source of my goodness.
What Makes You Worthy? Have you asked yourself…..really asked yourself……what makes me good, what makes me worthy of love, goodness, joy, and my life’s desires? I promise you it is your “beingness” and spirit within. I wish for all this sense of knowingness and peace.
True Acceptance – Self, Life, & Others!
Posted by: | CommentsThe topic for today’s guidance is “ACCEPTANCE.”
Acceptance of all, what is, and truth.
Challenges. Noises. Disappointments. Pain. Joy. Love. Wounds. Peace. All that there is both in physical form and beyond.
Where does that true sense of acceptance reside within? From a greater sense of self, deeper connection to a higher being, energy, or power? For me it resides in knowing who I am (really, who I am), where I came from, and what my soul’s purpose and life path is meant to be. Living authentically, being true to myself, connecting to a greater sense of energy and being, and being and giving the love that I am to others.
Accepting not just myself (as worthy and good), but also others in my life and in this world. Whose to say what their life’s journey is and challenges they may be crossing along the way. Certainly not me. For my limited perspective if not conscious could as often is the case in society habitually lend it’s self to judgment of who they are, what they are doing, and why. The complete opposite of acceptance.
One thing I have learned, you can only give to another what you first give to yourself, thus to truly have acceptance of others (just as they are), you must first have self acceptance. To authentically be and give to others the love that you are, you must give that love to yourself first.
