It is my most sincere hope for you that as a child, you were doted upon, praised and loved. Though I know in many cases that wasn't the case, to which, I truly am sorry. I am...
And because of that, life has often confronted you with challenges that wouldn't have been so challenging had you rightly regarded yourself, right? That I understand as well.
Our value was greatly determined by how we were treated and how much encouragement and praise we received as children. It is of the utmost to feel secure within oneself in order to make educated and healthy decisions as we grow older and begin to shoulder the responsibility of looking after ourselves. If we don't have a healthy foundation of self-worth, the choices we make will reflect it and so will the consequences.
You can see within a human when they actually love themselves. It isn't just one avenue that they represent this but all of them at once. Humans are multi-faceted. We can't just focus on one means to nourish and take care of ourselves, we must discover our own unique way to do this for ourselves. True nourishment will restore health and peace and give birth to a deep love for ourselve's, which in turn spills out onto the people around us.
But the self-worth is the motivator. It's the recognition that maybe what we were told about ourselves from the people who were supposed to love us, but didn't, in fact, isn't true. We are so much better than that. We are worth so much more than that. We are loveable. We are kind. We are beautiful. We are brilliant. We ARE worth it! We are worth the effort, the time, the money, the attention.... We are worth every stinking moment someone spends with us and so much more! And I'm sorry someone didn't make you feel that way. No, not just someone, someone what was supposed to make you feel that way. But hey, we have this chance now, right? We have this chance to shift this and to begin anew. That is the magickal thing about life.
We have these new opportunities that someone messed up for us, we have the ability to create something new in their place. Yes we lost some time. Yes it bloody f*cking blows! It really does. But we have now and we have today! What are we going to do with it? Are we going to wallow or are we going to change the path that is unfolding before us and make the life that is waiting for us, better? Because we can. We can make life better.
Grieve, let go of all the pain and misery and regret-- hatred, unforgiveness, whatever it is that comes up and choose to create something new because you are right now in the process of discovering just how amazing and wonderful and worth it all, you truly are! And you know what, I'm glad you're here.
Okay...
You. You truly are magnificent. There is no one else on this planet like you and you can to do things and bring a you-ness that no one else can bring here. You are meant to be here. Grab hold of you and love yourself because you are loveable. Truly and remarkably loveable. xx
