The world has been busy telling us all our lives that we need to DO something to be worthy: worthy of help, worthy of hope, worthy of peace, worthy of wealth, worthy of love; our own love and that of others.
The world says we have to work out, get ripped, get in shape, go to college, be smart, be workaholics, be the best, and subscribe fanatically to sayings like "No days off", "Never let up" and "Never back down".
We think that this lifestyle, especially if it means being exhausted constantly and being able to brag to people about how busy we are and how we never have time for ourselves or the people we love, who are also striving to be "worthy" by being busy, makes us somehow "there", somehow finally at that place where we can reward ourselves with things.
Usually the most basic of things.
Things like Love - the love we should show ourselves, and the love of others towards us.
Things like Hope - the expectation that the future will be even better than today.
Things like Wealth - the sustenance of our abundance, the physical fruition of the way we feel about ourselves.
But we don't let ourselves have those things, so often, until we've "done" all the things and "become" all the things we were told we had to do and be in order to have what we were always capable of having.
And that's the problem.
These things, and others - the things that we were Born Deserving - are right there for the asking, right there for the receiving.
They're all around us, all the time.
Other people get them, have them, don't struggle to keep them.
People on the news, people in your community, people you've heard of.
We've all heard of them.
They're everywhere.
Yet we don't believe, somehow, that we can be like them.
But we ARE like them.
In all the ways that matter.
We are alive, we are here, and we are human.
And we know, without a doubt, that we deserve that easy worthiness of all the good things in life too.
Or at least, we should.
I finally figured out for myself that this was the case.
I spent too long feeling unworthy and killing myself to "do" things and "be" worthy, and I'm sure you have too.
It's time to decide to be worthy.
It's time to realize you ARE deserving.
Just like me - just like all the "successful" people you know - you were Born Deserving.
