May 30
I do not need to earn my worthiness. I only need to stop arguing with it.
May 30
I look for the little wins each day, and I find gratitude there.
I find gratitude in small moments.
In breath.
In birdsong.
In love.
In memories.
In connection.
Even in grief.
I have learned that gratitude does not deny pain.
It simply widens my vision enough to see that love is still present too.
I know I have what I need for this moment.
And I find myself worrying less and less about where I am going and becoming more interested in simply being who I am.
Love is here.
Spirit is here.
The ones I love are here.
It is all here.
It always was.
I am enough.
Today I devote myself to gratitude.
I also choose gentleness with myself.
Perfectionism often grows from the fear that I am somehow not enough.
But I no longer wish to live at war with myself.
I choose tenderness.
Patience.
Compassion.
Wonder.
The same kind of love that Spirit continually offers me.
I ask for guidance in my choices.
I ask for courage to say yes to what feels aligned.
Wisdom to say no to what does not.
And patience to wait when clarity has not yet arrived.
I am also becoming receptive to something beautiful:
I do not need permission from the world to receive good things.
I can give that permission to myself.
I can stop believing that love, abundance, joy, purpose, or meaningful experiences belong to everyone except me.
I can believe in my own worthiness.
I can create a vision of the life I want and gently step toward it.
Not through force.
Not through grasping.
But by becoming available to it.
And every day I remember the importance of stillness.
Time with Spirit is not a luxury.
It is nourishment.
It is fortification.
It is returning home.
When I become still, I remember who I am beneath the noise of the world.
I remember what matters.
I remember what is true.
And then I live my way into the answers.
Because answers rarely arrive through thinking alone.
They arrive through living.
Through showing up.
Through listening.
Through trusting.
Grounding Questions
Where am I waiting for permission that I can begin giving myself?
What would I create if I deeply believed I was worthy of it?
