How I was healed of oppressive religion. We can hear it and nod in agreement, but when life throws us down, what rises up in our soul? When we know God is for us, no one of any consequence can be against us.
Thank you for sharing also! Danielle, Therein lies our worth: what God has done for us through the life and death of Christ—having suffered as a fellow human to bring us this freedom. Thanks for the encouragement today Danielle! I needed to read this today! For many years I struggled with not feeling worthy for the reasons you note here… and now I no longer believe those anymore either!
We need to be reminded. Those lies are insidious and try to creep in from time to time. We need to stand guard and refuse them as soon as we recognize them. So glad I could encourage you. Thanks for sharing! Such an important reminder.
All too often, I define my worth by the approval of others and external accomplishments. But like you say, approval is fickle, and my accomplishments should not define me. Thank you, Kate. Your last, religious argument is faulty. It is only your OWN decision over which you have total control. Thank you for your comment Louis. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Start figuring out what would add a little pep in your step. What gives you butterflies in your stomach just by thinking of it? Not happy at your job? Helping women all over the world free themselves from the inside out, so they can attract the love they desire and deserve, lights me up! Follow your passion. Make a decision. Start taking small steps. The universe will reward you!
No matter what your life circumstances are, you CAN change them and own your worthiness. Start focusing on how you can achieve them instead and be open to what the universe is trying to tell you. Start taking small steps that will slowly make you smile with pride and confidence. Push yourself outside your comfort zone and when you start to make your Self happy, you become an unstoppable, powerful force. When you start to honor your desires, go after them, and achieve them, you are sending the message out into the universe that you are worthy and enough for these things.
You, in turn, start to feel proud and worthy for honoring your exceptional life, away from mediocrity. Not gonna get many quick believers on that bandwagon. Another thing is that maintaining a negative opinion of yourself is extremely easy.
A lot of us self-haters are lazy-boned veterans, sitting atop a throne of self-pity. In reality, no one is going to think much about it. Even Bob from accounting gave his input, and his was a bit silly. Those are the kind of superficial risks I would take to try to prove something to myself. These are all noble risks, and often people with low self-esteem miss out on the growth opportunities that come with them. So to simplify, determine what your goals are, and then do them!
Never underestimate the power of waking up and putting on real pants. I know I used to. Moping around in pajamas all day is not an option.

They invite people into their life who have earned the right to be there — and recognize that other people have the right to invite them in or not , as well.
They simply remember that only they are responsible for their feelings, thoughts, and actions. They do — we all do. The difference comes in how these feelings are handled. What do you value most in life? What do you look forward to doing? A self-worthy person puts their needs first. They inherently know that they can only love and help others to the extent that they love and help themselves, so they make time and set aside energy to invest in the life they want.
They are able to help others by helping themselves. They believe in fair trade and equal exchange. Self-worth requires the belief that the world is a like a mirror. And their judgment can only hurt you to the extent that you hold that judgment against yourself, as well. The same is true for when you judge others.
Whatever you see in someone else is something you have in you. To this end, self-worthy people are thankful for the challenging people in their lives because they see them as opportunities to learn more about themselves. And these people take heart in seeing the positive in others, because that means they can see those things in themselves as well. A person with a high sense of self-worth is neither full of themselves, nor thinks that the world revolves around them.
Instead, this person remembers and is humbled by their small but important role in the grand scheme of things. Gratitude is a daily practice for people with high self-worth. These people appreciate the small and big gifts of life, and expresses appreciation whenever and however they can. You can only do this if you are willing to detach your sense of worthiness from your achievements and your external circumstances.
If you can believe this statement, and start changing your thoughts based on your belief, expect to experience some serious self-growth, new opportunities, and a deepening and hugely empowering sense of self-love.
