Are You Worthy?
Share
I flipped on the television Monday night and caught a bit of Dancing with the Stars (I love seeing the elaborate and beautiful outfits they wear). After a couple dances, they are evaluated by the judges who hold up numbers rating them on a scale of 1 to 10. Those with a high enough score are deemed worthy enough to proceed to the next round as potential winners. And of course we all accept this as a way to be evaluated in a competition.

Most of you reading this are not contestants on Dancing with the Stars, but I suspect you are consistently in front of a panel of judges inside your own head. On a daily basis, you score yourself (or allow others to score you) and use it to determine if you are worthy of having whatever it is you desire.

This week I’ve noticed the theme of worthiness present in my sessions with clients and conversations with friends. Many shared with me all the ways they are trying to be more, better or different so they can have the things they want in life. They were buying into the misunderstanding that because they don’t have something desired, they must not be deserving of it. The internal judges were holding up 1’s and 2’s, critiquing them for under performing.

Can you relate? Is there something in your life you want that is not happening and you are concluding that it must be because you have not worked hard enough to get it? Are your internal judges telling you that you are not deserving of the abundance, love, happiness and opportunity you desire? Allow me to remind you that there is nothing you need to do, be or have in order to be deserving of your dreams.

The Universe is not judgmental. It does not hold up a sign with a number on it after evaluating your every move. There is nothing you need to do or be to receive a “10.” Your worth is not earned, it is a given. And your worth is intrinsic; an external person or circumstance does not determine it. Just do your best in every moment and relax in the knowing that you are deserving of all your heart-felt desires, sometimes the Universe just has a different delivery date. In the meantime, UPdate those scorecards and see the number that reflects who you truly are: a perfect 10.
