Worthy or not?

Posted on by philipdodson

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.

True worth is within

Whatever has happened in our life situation, that is the day to day mind activity that we obsess about, like the past, future etc, is completely on the surface and in the mind, deep at the bottom of the lake as in deep within us, where our soul is, there is peace and calm always. There may be a storm on the surface, but that is not the real world.

We are not our life events, we are not our actions, not our achievements, we are not the past or the future.

We are the beautiful, kind and loving human soul that we will always be, that is there deep inside us.

True worth is beyond the mind, our life situation and the exterior world, it is within and we are always worthy.
