What are the inaccurate stories I've told myself in the past about who I am and who I want to be? Think about it...really...what are the things you tell yourself, the excuses, the why nots? Mine sound something like this:
I have to be someone special/high up/powerful/lucky/better to do something special.
The things I want are for other people. I don't deserve them.
If I fail my life is over.
It matters what other people think of my goals and abilities.
If I'm not the best at something my contribution doesn't count.
There is no reason I should have/do/be something rather than someone else. Someone else wants/needs/deserves it more than me.
What I realized today...in answering this question...is this: I am worthy of my dreams. Why NOT work towards what I love/want/need? Who says I don't deserve it? Who says I'm not good enough? If I fail, what's the worst that can happen? Why do I care what others think? Why do I think I need to be the best at something? I can work hard at defining my goals and dreams, then work hard towards achieving them, and guess what? That's what makes me worthy of them. And guess what else? You're worthy of your dreams too if you're willing to work hard towards them. So go for it. Rock your face off.
