How many of you were taught
To believe that you were unworthy
Of love or any goodness in life
Therefore you had to fight
For everything you wanted
At all times
By having to work so hard
To earn for your place
To earn for your space
To earn for love and approval
To earn for your life
To earn for your worth
To prove that
You deserved to be here
You deserved to belong, and that
You were good enough?
Was whatever you did
Ever good enough to someone else?
Did you ever feel good enough?
How exhausting was it for you
When you had to prove yourself
At all times?
What if everything you have done
Has always been good enough
And more than good enough
From wherever you have been?
What if you no longer have to fight
For your life?
What if you no longer have to fight
For your rights?
What if you no longer have to fight
For your freedom?
What if you no longer have to fight
For your enoughness?
What if you no longer have to fight
For your worth?
What if you no longer have to prove yourself
EVER
By appreciating you first
By honoring you first
With choosing more of YOU?
Simply because
It is your birthright to be here
It is your birthright to belong here
It is your birthright to be enough
It is your birthright to be worthy
It is your birthright to get to choose
For YOU
It is your birthright to be loved
Exactly the way you are
From wherever you are
With whatever you do
It is your birthright to have and be
All goodness in life
All joy
All fun
All peace
All ease
All glory
All victory
All freedom
Without having to fight
In order to prove yourself
That is fighting against you
That is going against the flow
Keep choosing you first
Unapologetically
Deep from your heart and soul
That expands your being
That expands your space
That is going with the flow
That is going with YOU
Choose to walk away from anyone
Choose to walk away from any situation
When needed to
That shrinks you to no place
That shrinks you to no space
That shrinks you to no universe
You don’t belong there
It can’t fit your gigantic YOU
Break you free
The more you set you free,
The more you set others free
You are not here to disappear
Into nothingness
You are here to be everything
That God created you to be
You are here to live your life
Your life alone
Nobody else’s
You are here to shine your light
As brightly as anybody else
On this planet Earth
You are on your way
To reclaim your total being
You are the powerful leader
You are the magnificent mega-creator
Of your own life and destiny
You got this. One step at a time.
