“No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.”
Richard Bach
Can you picture a better life? If you are struggling with where you are, can you see a way out? Are you living the life you always wanted but now your wants have changed? Are you just struggling and don’t know why?
If you are anything like me than you don’t feel that you really deserve great things in your life. Yes I just said that. Yes in theory I believe I deserve great things, but when it’s knocking on my door I forget and I feel like I am not worthy. I know I am not the only one out there who battles with self worth but since I’m the only one typing I guess I will be the example. I have a great vision for my life but am in constant check with myself to say I can have it. If I don’t really believe it than I can never have the success that I see for myself. It’s interesting how the act of wanting and desiring is almost easier than receiving. I know how to live in struggle and I know what it’s like to live hand to mouth but to live in freedom and have my needs met- that’s new for me. I am feeling the dissidence between wanting and having. I can see how easy it is to get stuck in the desire of something and struggle with having it. We think, “O I would never have a problem winning a million dollars” but then why are the percentages of people who lose all of their winnings so high. People say its poor management skills, but I think it’s more than that. I think you have to feel that you deserve what you have and generally you have exactly what you feel you deserve.
So look around your life and note that you believe that this is what you deserve. The only way to change what you have is to change your beliefs about it first. I am working on this myself. I feel the lump in my throat and sadness that somewhere inside me I still feel that I don’t deserve great things. I am sharing because I want you to get in touch with your own false beliefs about yourself. They are false and you can change them. Today I challenge you to challenge your false beliefs. Today I am challenging mine and I am grateful for the insight.
