How many times have you turned down an opportunity because you didn't think you were good enough? Once or twice? A handful of times? Or is it just too many to count?
Whilst your heart is no doubt chasing the most amazing dreams, your self-worth trails behind, like a rickety old suitcase with wheels jammed up tight. As time goes on, the gap between you and your goals worsens. And in the end, feels impossible to reach.
The emotional baggage makes it hard to walk freely, with the weight pulling you further and further down. But with these ‘You are worthy’ quotes, you can cut ties with the negativity.
Remind yourself that you are enough. And that you can achieve even the biggest of goals with just a little self-belief.
How Does a Lack of Self-Worth Impact on Our Lives?
Are you the type to shy away from the work’s Christmas party, feeling like you don’t belong? Or turn down that free gym membership, because, in your eyes, you don’t fit in. And will only end up looking foolish.
We’ve all been there. We’ve all let self-doubt get the better of us. And missed out on the things we really wanted to do… But just couldn’t.
Quite often, these emotions were ignited by someone who didn’t deserve your time, such as a toxic parent or an uninterested teacher at school. A friend, a partner or a colleague who continuously highlighted even your smallest of mistakes.
Though they may not have intentionally knocked your confidence, the negativity now echoes through everything you do. It’s the little voice in the back of your mind that fills you with doubt, anxiety and the overwhelming cries that you’re just not good enough.
But what if one day, you stopped listening to those thoughts? And you stopped living in the shadows of people's opinions. What if you started walking around with your head a little higher? And your smile, a little brighter.
The only person who can judge you is you. And the only person who can decide how much you’re worth, is you.
So take a deep breath and say out loud, “I am enough! I am enough for everything I want to do with my life and everything I want to achieve.” Believe in yourself and use these ‘You are worthy’ quotes to kick start your amazing journey to a happier you.
