Are You Worthy or Worthless?
Guest post by Dr. Daisy Sutherland
Have you ever asked yourself this question-am I worthy or worthless? Better yet, do you truly like yourself? These are not easy questions and ones we must dig down within us to answer truthfully.
Do you get along with yourself? How can anyone else like or get along with you if you are finding it difficult yourself. It is extremely important to develop a healthy relationship with yourself first, before you can develop one with someone else. You must find the peace within yourself in order to truly feel worthy. You must love yourself.
Now reread that last sentence and understand that it is essential for you to love yourself. Stop being over critical and love yourself for who you are not who you would someday want to be.
When you truly begin to love yourself, care about yourself and feel comfortable in your skin, it will emanate from your soul. You are flawed, everyone is, but that isn’t a reason to label yourself as worthless. The negativity that is evident is because of those feelings of unworthiness, and those feelings are empowered when you allow them to come to fruition.
It’s time to see yourself in a different light. Stop comparing yourself with others and accept the wonderful person you are. You were created from greatness and that was certainly not a mistake. It is is truly sad to look around and see many people who are unhappy because they have feelings of unworthiness.
It’s time to break the cycle of self-pity and despair. It’s not easy, but you must be willing to take the first step. If you are unhappy with how you feel or how you look, instead of putting yourself down, find a way to correct it. Of course many will go to the extreme of altering their looks and their bodies, but that is not where the change must occur. The change must occur within you and it is something that no one else can change but YOU.
You are worthy, you are beautiful, you were wonderfully made. As I tell each of my children, God doesn’t make mistakes. We are all different and we should never, ever compare ourselves with others.
Instead focus on you, and change the negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones. When you begin to truly love yourself for who you are, not for how you look, but for who you are inside, then and only then will others accept you. Others will be drawn to you because of the positive energy flowing from you because you love yourself.
Start believing in yourself because He does and He will help you change for the better if that is what needs to occur. Stop believing the lies that have been formulated by others and start believing in yourself. Start living life to the fullest because you are worthy. Yes, you are worthy!
