Worthiness

 The issue of worthiness may come up in many areas of our lives, as we ask, often unconsciously, whether we are worthy of success, love, happiness, and countless other things, from supportive relationships to a beautiful home. In the end, though, it all comes down to one thing: our willingness to claim our space in this life as humans on this planet at this time. When we accept our divinity, we no longer question whether we are worthy because we know that we are meant to be here to fulfill a particular purpose — a purpose that no one other than us can fulfill.

There are no replacements who can take over and live our lives for us — no other person who has had the experiences we have had, who has access to the same resources and relationships, or who carries the same message to share with the world. Our purpose may be large or small, and in most cases, it is multi-leveled with important actions taking place on the interpersonal level, as well as in terms of the work we do in the world. Small acts of kindness share the stage with large acts of sacrifice, and only through accepting and honoring our divinity can we know what we are called to do and when.

Ultimately, we are all equally, exactly, and completely worthy of being here in this life. Moreover, we are all essential to the unfolding plan of which we are each one small but important part. If we suffer from low self-worth, it is because we have lost track of understanding this truth and allowing it to guide our actions in the world. Seeing ourselves as part of something larger, as beings called to serve, is the ultimate cure for feelings of unworthiness. In the end, it’s not about evaluating ourselves as worthy or unworthy, so much as it’s about accepting that we have been called here to serve and taking the steps required to listen and respond to what our lives are asking us to do....<<<Read More>>>...
