If there’s one thing you should know, that you should learn right now, that will save you sooooooo much pain — it’s that your value and worth are not in any way correlated to your relationship status.
But…
Your worth is correlated to how you show up in relationships.
Your worth doesn’t go anywhere when someone leaves you… but your worth goes right down the drain when you leave you.
Your value doesn’t go down because someone treats you poorly, your value goes down because you stay in relationships with people who do.
Your heart doesn’t break because he/she can’t choose you, it breaks because you’ve given someone else the power to do so.
You are not left empty or incomplete because you don’t have a partner, you feel that way because of the belief that another person can complete you.
Relationships and their pains and challenges are the greatest vehicles for you to grow, heal, and rediscover your value lives in YOU.
If you want to have self-worth, treat yourself as worthy.
If you want to heal, look at your life and look at EVERY choice you’re making that robs you of vitality and integrity.
The most challenging part of growth and healing is recognizing, as you wake up to your choices and your life, that you’ve been living mostly unconsciously.
It took losing yourself, losing another, illness, a job loss, grief… whatever. It took what it needed to take. So don’t hate the lightning bolt that snapped your effin soul into your consciousness.
Just like me, it took a rock-bottom of sorts for you to realize that you’ve been living a life you were not only taught to want but also a life you were modelled to tolerate.
No more.
You’re allowed to want more. You’re allowed to want different. You’re allowed to want to grow. You’re allowed to want to wake up, take charge of your life, nourish your body, quit habits that are hurting you, learn how to create amazing relationships… and say “goodbye” to the bullshit and pretending you’re not a powerful being who gets to choose your life.
The people who will resist your awakening are resisting their own.
You stopping feeds their own state of frozen. You staying small to collude with them in their self-abandonment just has you abandoning you.
Are you ready?
Probably not.
But you never will be. Because you’re not meant to be ready to become the lived expression of God. And I don’t mean that from the narcissistic sense, or that you are the one and only God… but that you have CHOICE. You have the power to decide your worth, your value and your life.
As Alan Watts said, “Are you a victim of the world? Or are you the world?”
You decide.
So much gratitude for rock bottoms and lightning bolts. This was beautiful, thank you 💜
"living subconsciously" - yep - no more !
