Being Worthy of Success and Happiness

Have you ever wondered why success and its sweet rewards sometimes seem so elusive? Does it ever seem strange to you that, despite all your efforts and hard work, your daily actions and dedication fail to carry you all the way through to achieving your goals? What could possibly be stopping you from attaining your dreams? What is preventing you right now from fulfilling your heart’s desires and claiming the prize for all your hard work?

The answer might be hidden in plain sight - and so it might’ve escaped your attention.

If you think that dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardised test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. Worthiness underpins everything.

-??????Brené Brown

There are thousands of books that claim to offer the secrets of success and there are countless courses that describe how to become a multi-millionaire. Clearly, this vast amount of knowledge and guidance should’ve produced a truly staggering number of super-successful individuals. But this rarely happens. Otherwise, we’d rely on the one proven ‘Master Text’ that delivers everything we need to know about the principles and mechanics of success.

In view of the number of people who are still struggling every day to achieve their goals and fulfil their potential, there must be something missing. And it must be something significant.

The answer isn’t obvious because it’s usually concealed within the foundations of our unconscious belief systems. And these are largely hidden from view. These deep-seated attitudes, the subconscious architecture that frames most of our thoughts and feelings, are responsible for shaping how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. And, if we harbour any doubts or fears about our worthiness in any theatre of endeavour, these negative influences will seek to sabotage our best efforts to succeed. It really is as simple as that.

Our stresses, anxieties, pains, and problems arise because we do not see the world, or others, or even ourselves as worthy of love.

― Prem Prakash

The key to ensuring that all those courses, books and guides can make a meaningful contribution to your quest for success is to take a moment to examine your attitudes.

If you come from a family that was uncomfortable with money, that always seemed to struggle, that sowed the seeds of mistrust in any matters relating to finance – it’s pretty obvious that you might’ve inherited all kinds of disabling beliefs. No surprise when financial setbacks are expected and almost welcomed as proof that life is always unfair and difficult – just like you always believed. It’s amazing how life manages to live up – or down – to our most fundamental expectations.

Fractured or unstable family relationships are another example of conditions that can equally sow the seeds of discord and influence the quality of any future partnerships. Love founders on the rocks of destructive behaviour that seeks to prove that true love simply does not exist. So, the relationship is tested to destruction point until – as expected – it fractures under the pressure. The blighted relations of our early family experiences can cast a long and lasting show over the future.

Someone out there is looking for exactly what you've go and will never try and undercut your value or question your worth. Some things in life just can’t be bartered over or placed on the sale rack – and your self-worth is at the top of the list.

The answer to this perplexing problem is to change the programming and break free from all thoughts of unworthiness. This is the perfect moment to assert a new set of beliefs that will resonate powerfully in your emotional foundations. This is not a mental exercise. This method requires the emotional momentum that can powerfully re-shape your attitudes and your outlooks.

Begin each day by reciting some simple phrases: “Who I am is enough.” “I absolutely deserve all the happiness and success my heart can hold.” “I feel completely ready to accept all the success I’ve ever dreamed of.”

The phrases are entirely at your discretion but need to be expressed using positive language and always in the present tense. Allow yourself to feel the excitement that your positive statements infer. Let the emotional energy build until you really start to believe. That might take at least ten to twenty repetitions but the effects will begin to show up in your life almost immediately. You’ll start to notice changes, opportunities and new possibilities. Why? Because you’ve shifted your attitude towards the positive end of the spectrum – a place where you’ve learned to be more comfortable. That means being comfortable with success, with happiness, with money, with recognition, with warm, nurturing and fulfilling relationships. The benefits are truly extraordinary. You wake up every day with a beautiful set of expectations and a profound belief in your worthiness to create everything your heart desires.

If the entire world sought to make itself worthy of happiness rather than make itself happy, then the entire world would be happy.
