“Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter,
and those who matter, don’t mind.”
- Dr. Seuss


I have struggled with this one much of my life. I am one of those people who go through life, for whatever reason, making sure everyone else’s life is a happy one.

I have dedicated my life to others, and often put their happiness, their wants and needs, over mine.

There were many times where I did this because I worried about what others would think of me if I didn’t – would they still like me, would they be mad at me, would they think less of me?

With the understanding of a few simple universal laws, I changed the way I thought about what I do. I still do a lot for others, always will – but I do it because I want to, because it is part of who I am, part of my inner beauty.

But I no longer do it at my expense, because I believe we only do something at our own expense if we don’t have the self worth to believe we are more worthy of something than someone else. And that is never the truth.

Self worth, or lack of, is something we have convinced ourselves of. It is a story we have made up in our own mind – and if it is anything less than perfect – it is not true. Yet we hold onto that story and allow it to own our life, make our decisions and drive our life path.

Tell yourself today – you are worthy. Say it out loud – I am worthy. I am as worthy as anyone – as everyone. There is no one in this universe more worthy than me. I exist only to share my worthiness with others and to show them how incredible I am. And as they see that I am incredible – they will know that they are incredible too.
