Sadly, far too many people are motivated by unworthiness and inadequacy.
What pushes and drives most of us is an idea that one day, we’ll finally be enough.
In my experience, the only way to achieve greatness in a healthy manner is to become aware of your fear of unworthiness and inadequacy.
At some point, the world or someone in it told us we weren’t good enough. We weren’t smart enough, pretty enough, or hard-working enough. And we believed it.
Since then, we’ve viewed our entire life through a lens of ‘I am not good enough.’ We’ve hustled for our worthiness and tried too hard to prove our worth. We’ve been broken.
A life driven by inadequacy is a life full of fear and shame, two of the most destructive and health-destroying emotions on the planet.
How do we change our narrative?
How do we rebuild the foundation?
Go back to the drawing board and rewrite the story. Rewrite the truth. Do this until it sticks. It takes time, dedication, self-respect, self-love, and a whole lot of repetition. It takes becoming hyper-aware of any decision fueled by fear or inadequacy. It requires showing up every day and reminding ourselves that WE ARE ENOUGH.
You are worth the work!
You have been living a lie and you deserve better. You deserve the truth: you are enough! You always have been and you always will be.
