Sometimes guilt comes in the form of apprehension - not wanting to pursue a passion, goal/dream or whatever - because you feel guilty that you don't deserve to do said passion. But. When opportunities arise, the worst that can happen is you take those opportunities as a learning experience. Would you agree? I mean, failure is when we learn, always doing everything right means you aren't challenging yourself or ...you aren't challening yourself...
It's a mental game, when you come from a humble family; in my family being humble to an extreme is valued and a mental "methodology" I constantly try to understand. I guess there is NOTHING wrong with being humble, but it's okay...actually it is more than okay... to be in love with yourself. Maybe it's semantics, maybe humble is the wrong word, but being self-less, not valuing yourself above others and NEVER valuing things is what I am addressing here.
On OPRAH, the other day, they were talking about the importance of loving yourself more than you love anything else. She said when your cup over-flows - what flows over is what you can "give" to others - it allows you to serve others. She said, when you aren't "full" you are making people theives...and they don't even know it!!! I thought it was beautiful. How can you do anything to your potential if your cup is half full?!
On that day, at that moment hearing that you have to love yourself BEFORE you can truly serve others was an eye opener, because I think I am serving people! I LOVED it, and I love feeling more free to pursue my dreams in order to be the best me.
I hope you love yourself, and spoil yourself once in awhile.
Affirm yourself; no one else should have to. Once it's inside, you are truly unstoppable.
With love,
