I Am A Gift

I spent years sabotaging myself thinking I didn’t deserve anything. I spent years on an exhaustive journey of trying to work to earn things that I felt I didn’t deserve…Because I felt I didn’t deserve ANYTHING. I had to change my perception about myself to change what I earned. And when you learn to love yourself first before the work…and then put in the hard work, you will see that things will happen not because you’re lucky but because you are worthy.

You are a gift, you aren’t a burden, you are worthy to have wonderful things in this life…not just because you will work for them…but because you will love yourself while you work for them. And that’s why I had so much trouble moving forward, because I believed I didn’t deserve certain things, and I believed that if I struggled then maybe I could be happy. …which shut off the Universe from giving me more because I always found a way to shut the door to what was coming my way.

Sometimes I think that we believe if something happens easily for us that maybe we aren’t deserving it. And I do believe we should be industrious and work hard, but when we work hard for a period of time things do get easier for us.  So I think hard work should be a habit we naturally gravitate towards, but also we accept the gifts that come our way because of our collected efforts. When you live a life of scratching tooth and nail to get what you want, it doesn’t feel right to have things happen easily for you or having things handed to us on a silver platter.  It seems too good to be true as we are waiting for the other shoe to fall…we don’t want to get our hopes up and be disappointed…again

But you are worthy for great things, it’s good to put in the hard work to make something happen, but it’s also good to accept what comes into your life without putting expectations on yourself. When you love someone in your life unconditionally, whether it be your children or your parents…would you ever say…sorry but you aren’t getting my love currently…you didn’t earn it today? 

You probably wouldn’t…so why are you treating yourself that way then?

You are a gift, you are a blessing, you are worthy, you are worth the effort…and you are what this world needs. Put in your time, but know that you are worthy to accept what the Universe brings your way. You deserve great things not just because you did the work…but because you are you…and that’s an amazing thing. Be you, and know you are a blessing.

Today’s Personal Commitment:
Reward yourself today… just because. What is something that’s unique and something you’d enjoy in your life that you could give to yourself? Have it be something you normally don’t reward or do for yourself.
