Blog: You are worthy

Published August 2024

Do you find yourself looking at the lives of others and wishing you could have those things too? But when push comes to shove and you’re given an opportunity to attain those things, your fears stop you; that inner voice plants a seed of doubt that says “those things aren’t meant for me.”

In a world that often tells us we’re not enough, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doubting our worth. But here’s the truth: you are worthy, not because of what you achieve, but simply because of who you are.

In her book Worthy, Jamie Kern Lima reminds us that our worth isn’t something we need to earn—it’s already within us. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to chase after your dreams; you already have everything you need inside of you. The only thing holding you back is the belief that you can’t do it. But what if, instead of questioning your value, you leaned into the idea that you are enough, just as you are? Imagine the power in that belief. It’s the kind of power that pushes you to take the first step, no matter how small, and keeps you moving forward, even when the road gets tough.

Embracing your worthiness means recognizing that the goals you have—those dreams that light you up inside—aren’t just possible; they’re within reach. But let’s be real: achieving them will take hard work. It will require grit, resilience, and the courage to keep going when you want to quit. The thing is, you’ve already proven you can do hard things. Every challenge you’ve overcome, every time you’ve gotten back up after being knocked down, is evidence of the strength that lives within you.

As Mel Robbins says, “the moment you decide that you are worthy of your dreams is the moment everything changes”. You stop waiting for the right time, the right circumstances, or someone else’s approval. Instead, you take action—bold, imperfect action—because you know deep down that you’re capable of more than you’ve been giving yourself credit for.

So, stand tall in your worthiness, and let it fuel the fire inside you. You are worthy of the work, the journey, and the incredible life that’s waiting for you on the other side.
