Perpetually proving yourself? You\u2019re letting others hold your power. If they\u2019re the judge of your worthiness, they get to hold the keys to the castle of Your Full Potential.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve lost our ability to discern who\u2019s worthy of determining our worth. We\u2019ve set up a system whereby we seek to reclaim our power over and over again. How? People-pleasing, over-using the word \u201cYes,\u201d obsessively consulting our Instagram accounts, tallying up likes and comments. Taking jobs we don\u2019t want, dating people we don\u2019t love. Earning degrees we don\u2019t need. Measuring ourselves against others. Subsequently getting snagged in the wily trap of comparison.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re praise junkies, looking for any opportunity to get another hit – to stand out, be praised, feel special, get the grade.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re auctioneers, letting the bids of bystanders determine our worth.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re beggars, appealing to others in the hope that we might hear the clinging of their coins of esteem, thanks or approval dropping into our cup.<\/p>\n
The only way to liberate ourselves from the fruitless grind of auctioneering, racking up stats, and begging for praise is to reclaim our power and evaluate our own self-worth. This takes a robust inner guidance system, but that can be developed. Through stillness.<\/p>\n
The prerequisites are only a willingness to listen and the confidence to act on what you hear. To tune your ear to the song of your intuition and wrap your actions in trust.<\/p>\n
With time, you\u2019ll develop your own standards. You\u2019ll become more and more autonomous. Taking back your power calls you to the frontier where there are no signposts or mile markers. Just you and the wilderness. You\u2019ll throw loose the reigns and listen to the instincts that are your birthright.<\/p>\n
When you claim your power, you own your worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
