Finding The Goddess In Me

So, a dear friend posts this today and I absolutely fall in love it it:


You are worth it!
You are worth the trouble and effort required to make your life the best it can possibly be. There is so very much you have to express, to give, to experience and to contribute to the magnificent fabric of life.

You are worth the discomfort and frustration that you'll regularly need to get through. You are worth the pain that the world will sometimes offer.

For within you is the capacity for great joy and astounding achievement. Within you are beautiful and worthy dreams that long to be fulfilled.

You are one of a kind and you are filled with a driving purpose. You are worth whatever it takes to give that special purpose a lasting and meaningful expression.

Yes, the disappointments, inconveniences, pains, problems and annoyances will surely and steadily come. Yet they are indeed quite trivial compared to the precious possibilities that live within you.

Make whatever efforts necessary, endure whatever setbacks you must, move forward through whatever challenges may come along. For there is no question that you are worth it.

-- Ralph Marston

I have seen people on some TV shows falling to tears when they say or finally understand what it means to BELIEVE that they are WORTH IT to be healthy, to be happy - that they deserve everything their heart desires! Even I sit here, reading these words, and I don't really believe it! Yes, I can say to myself 1000 times "I am worth it"...but I am not sure if it reaches me to that level where I truly comprehend that I do deserve it..that I am *worth it*! Does it take a trained psychologist to make you realize this?? Do we need special instructions on how to comprehend this and for it to reach us completely, so we embrace it and BELIEVE in it?

I am worth it.

See...I wrote it...I believe I am worthy...but it does nothing for me...I probably don't really believe that I am then...and there probably lies the reason for my failures. Huh...
