You deserve the best
“Once you realise you deserve better, everything will change. The fire in your heart will be lit and great stories you will one day tell. Our stories come down to this. What it is we think we are worth. And chances are, darling, you are worth far more than what you are settling for right now.”
You deserve the best.
Can you accept this?
Can you expect this?
I feel it is a conditioning of mainstream culture that we must be deserving to receive THE BEST. We must strain, strive, and push to have 'successful' careers. We must endure tough relationships, because "all worthwhile relationships require hard work". And the good old chestnut - "you should just be happy and grateful with what you got and that is that".
Er, says who?
I encourage you to take a look inside and ask yourself, what is the best that you deserve?
Think of what you thought was 'the best' when you were 10 years old? For me it would have been my parents buying me a pair of Reebok Pumps (lol).
And now - well now I don't have enough space in this email to share what I feel 'the best' is for me - all I can tell you is that what I feel I deserve it is proportionate to the level at which my self-love and self-compassion is continually being cultivated.
As consciousness and awareness grows, what you feel is 'the best' will continue to shift, morph and change, too. And usually, when your awareness and level of 'being' upgrades, so does what you feel you deserve. This is a by-product of daily meditation, and of building awareness in 'being'.
The moment you start to wonder if you deserve better...you do.
