You are worth it.

While perusing Facebook today I came across a post that I really needed to read. I'd like to always remember it so, I'm also posting it here.

Your worth is not outside of you.

Oftentimes we put high value on jobs, titles, income, relationships, opinions of others, weight, status, cars, clothes, rank, position, achievements, etc. to give us our sense of our worth. While we can appreciate all of those things and enjoy them, your worth is never in a title, the number on a scale, a bank account, or in someone else's hands. 

You are your most valuable opinion of you.

If you've given your power away to something outside of you, gently own it and return it to where it belongs - with yourself. By choosing to nurture and consciously grow a relationship with you - self care, health, positive mindset, valuing you and your needs - you will increase your confidence, self love, and overall enjoyment in your life. And a major perk of doing so? You will attract more love, success, and great experiences with others since you're coming from a full embodiment of self, a wholeness, and a sense of abundance versus scarcity of self esteem.

When we need others or external things to validate us, we are often left wanting and neurotic waiting on the ship to come in. It may come. It may not. It may come and stay. It may not. It's like a roller coaster run by someone else.

Decide to proactively lead your own life. To nurture and invest in you and your sense of self worth.
 
You are worth it. 

Even though I'm outside of you telling you that you're worth it, decide to take my advice and make it your own. Implement it and you will discover the best relationship of your life - which in turn will uplevel all of your other relationships as a bonus. As you come from love, you have love to give.

Cheering you on,

A Lemon Cake

I got home last night from my class from Hell and found out that my new Visiting Teacher had stopped by to introduce herself.

She left a note and a lemon cake.

The note read:

"Hi, I'm your VERY negligent visiting teacher. I've been bad. I can't make my past go away, but going forward I'm going to try to be there for you with visits, and always a ready, listening heart and ear. Please forgive me and accept my peace offering of a small lemon cake. Phone me any time."

Her timing was impeccable. This gesture meant so much to me and her note (even though she may not have meant for it to) made me cry. Visiting teaching is a wonderful thing. It forces each of us out of our comfort zone, which in turn makes the recipient of that service feel that much more special that you made the effort.

I love this work.
