Something that has really aided my growth is to realize that my self worth is unconditional. Often times, a person tries to find there self worth in everything.
Worth comes from having a job, working hard, being a nice person, being beautiful, being well liked, being trustworthy, getting a lot accomplished, being extremely spiritual....ect.
I believe that self worth doesn't have to be found in anything but is inherently there simply by existing. As a person cultivates this love and trust in themselves...others around them seem to act similarly towards them and even towards themselves.
My definition of morals is a bit different. Usually, your morals are what keeps you from being a bad person. Bad implies evil, i.e unworthy and/or not deserving of love. My definition is that going against your morals is doing something that is destructive/unhealthy to yourself and your core. Rather than being a good person when you listen to your morals you are letting yourself unfold as an individual.
This is why everyone's morals are different because everyone is unique...So what helps one to personally unfold and express themselves in an empowering/healthy way could be totally different from another.
We are all connected so we begin suppressing another group or person for our own empowerment...We are effected negatively by that person being "x"ed out.
If you're out of a job and you're working to get one...It might be easy to feel like you're a burden to those around you...To start feeling bitter and having low self esteem. This really won't help you find a job and may even hinder the process...It certainly sucks the fun right out of life.
Instead, if you realize that your self worth and right to be loved is unconditional then you will see the reason why you want a job isn't to make you a "good person" but because there is an energy exchange going on. You are receiving - so it's important to be giving to balance out the energy exchange. Imagine it as there being one weight on the end of a pole and you're trying to stand in the middle of this pole. If you put the same amount of weight on the other end of the pole than you will be able to easily stand in the middle.
Life flows so much better and is even a lot more fun when I see that it's never about my self worth or right to be loved and instead that I am literally playing a game. A serious one, at that. This game has certain parameters to it and one of them is living in a way which empowers and helps you to unfold or living in a way which does not. When things don't go my way, when I mess up...slip up, F up, I don't have to take it so darn personally and remember that this is a game! It's a game of experience. When I can forgive myself and allow myself to let love flow into my heart...than this game is a lot more fun and beneficial to play. It can help me to relax...Take a deep breath and remember there really is no way I have to do anything. Just adjusting to what works with my energy - finding that balance. Sometimes it's a series of experimenting what does and doesn't work Which is why forgiveness is pivitol and the remembrance that I am unconditionally worthy. It's stop being about that and being truly more like an experiment. I don't have to over personalize as much but observe, experience, play.
