Helping others become even better versions of themselves
We always wait or make an excuse for not just reaching out to others and sending them kind words and love. We want others to be first.
The world and life is better when we connect and share love. When we choose to be first and we do it without attachment or agendas. We do it because it makes us feel good.
Don’t wait…your phone is in your hand, just call, message or text someone now and tell them that you love them.
We often believe that our worth is related to something we do for others.
It isn’t.
For a long time, I believed that I am only lovable and worthy if I helped others. This was based on a nonsense story I had built up and it stemmed from my childhood where I only received love and attention if I helped.
I have battled with this story all my life…I now realise it is not true. Of course, I still enjoy being helpful, however, now without the need to relate it to my worth as a person. Being helpful because I want to and it brings me joy and not doing it because I think that is the only way people will love me.
We are worthy from the day we are born to the day that we die…no matter what. No matter what we achieve or don’t.
We have nothing to prove.
We are all worthy of love and belonging.
Once we can accept this, it frees us to be ourselves.
