I was challenged today to fight for my self worth. I didn’t like that. It made me face some fears. So I figured I’d share my thought process as I mustered up the courage to have a tough conversation. Here it is.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What do I want? To not have to think about what I want. I want for what I want to just come to me. That\u2019s what I want. I want my worth to be assumed and reflected without having to stand up for it. Is that laziness? Maybe. It\u2019s probably more fear. Yea it\u2019s fear. But fear of what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear that I\u2019m\u2026 [audible sigh] – it\u2019s so complex. It’s layered. I want to say it’s fear that I\u2019m not worth as much as I think. But that is a superficial fear. The reality is that I\u2019m afraid I know my worth, and that I will have to convince others of that worth. I fear that that\u2019s just the first layer of the fear too. The next is that those I\u2019m convincing with then challenge me, and I\u2019ll have to stand up for my worth. And then the next layer is that fighting for my worth will lead to success! And then I\u2019ll have to continue to actually be that level of worth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deepest layer, the one I struggle to face most of the time, is that I\u2019ll prove to them and myself that I am that worthy of whatever I fought for, and since I\u2019ve proven it, I\u2019ll have to continue to prove it. And I\u2019ll keep rising higher and higher and have farther and farther to fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what I fear. I fear my worth. I fear whether I have the strength to fight for it. I fear learning I do have that strength and that it\u2019s possible to lose that strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh what a world! What a life we live!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t just exist. Do something every day that scares you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love yourself,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
