I’ve been thinking a lot lately about self-worth, self- love, self-care, people-pleasing and the like.
I’ve also been realizing a lot of things about myself and life.
Maybe it’s that mid-life thing they talk about… LOL.
But seriously, I’ve been doing some work and getting to a point where I can honestly say it and believe it that I am awesome.
Yes, in the past I’ve done some awesome things but I think there was always doubt or questioning about if I was awesome.
The external validation is what I needed.
Why I strived for perfection and achievement.
But there comes a point when you realize enough is enough.
I don’t want to rely on that.
I am enough as I am.
I am awesome as I am.
I can also be awesome but want to improve myself.
I can also love myself as is but want to grow, become stronger and better.
I think for so many of us that is the case.
From a young age we feel loved hearing “good job” when we get that A on a test or score the winning point in a game.
But at some point the As stop and cheers die down.
Then in the quiet, in the silence, we are left alone only to question am I enough and ask what’s next.
Once we start to turn inward and do the work, it becomes apparent that we are enough and nothing has to be next.
And funny enough in the peace that comes, there is self-worth and self-love that has always been there just waiting to be discovered.
Once you discover this and unlock it, it is your super power.
There is no more need to say yes to everyone else and no to yourself.
There is no more need to seek cheers and applause.
There is no more need to care what anyone else says.
You are whole just as things are.
You start saying yes to yourself and no to everyone else.
You seek your own peace and quiet.
You care how you feel and fulfill your own needs.
It is a wonderful place to live from.
