If self-worth had a scale, I would’ve registered on the minus side, from as early as I can remember,?through to my late twenties.??
It didn’t matter what was in front of me, I knew in advance that I would fail at it. If everyone around me was succeeding, it just added fuel to an already roaring fire, flames that fiercely whispered “you’re not good enough”?
Back then, I was (& I still consider myself to be) a relatively intelligent person but even that had no impact on my lack of self-worth.?
Here's the interesting part; if you’d have met me back then, you probably would’ve thought I had it together. I was out-going, confident, strong and didn’t appear to have any real problems.??
What people didn’t realise was inside I was torturing myself, I hated being me!?
I would replay every conversation I had with people, questioning what I should’ve said differently.??
I put everyone else first, often at my own expense because I believed they were worth more than I was.?
I felt jealous of other people’s lives, of their success, something I never thought I could have.??
I got myself into debt, a bad relationship, ill health... I treated myself badly and let others treat me as poorly as I believed.??
I constantly worried that I was going to mess up, people would judge me and so I never pushed myself.?
Better to shoot small and succeed than dream big and fail right??
Well, the problem I had, is that the dreams I wasn't pursuing started to haunt me.?
After a lifetime of playing, it safe, I decided to embark on a journey of personal development. Boy, I had a lot of issues to work through! My journals, yes that’s plural told a sad tale. ?
I had no idea what it would entail, this journey...?
But, somewhere deep inside I knew that life could be better, Maybe I just hadn’t worked out how.?

Of course, that didn’t mean that I woke up one day with a Lamborghini on the drive, parked next to my private jet on my own private island... ?????
What it means is that I now believe whole-heartedly in me, which is everything.??
I still mess up, get things wrong but that’s ok. I’m out there, I’m doing it, learning as I go and I accept myself fully. Something I never thought I would be able to say out loud, let alone mean it too!?
