Worthy?
In the past few days, I have been approached by a few people that are near and dear to me. They all expressed their concern over this one question that I think many of us have pondered on.
Am I worthy?
I don’t know who thought of this concept or what prophesying human got the idea to ever question if they were ever worthy or deserving of all the things that life has to offer. After meditating, drinking, thinking, and searching, I am still confused as to how the human race has gotten to this question.
There are many things we have thought about that goes beyond the realm of thought, but this concept of someone being worthy of anything is still mind boggling.
I can obviously point out the many societal standards, -isms, and systems of opression that the world uses to define worth but those are the obvious answers, right? Let’s go beyond the scope of society’s chaos and take a seat in the land of self-worth.
Worth is defined as sufficiently good, important, or interesting to justify a specified action; deserving to be treated or regarded in the way specified.
Self-worth is defined as confidence in one’s own worth or abilities; self-respect.
Based on these two definitions above, I can see that the things we question about ourselves deal with if we are good enough and confident in our self and who we are.

We all are birthed into the world with no true idea of why we are here or what we are meant to accomplish. If I was a play director, artist, writer or master creator of HUMAN BEINGS, I obviously would have a purpose for every single person, color, setting, and conflict that takes a part in my masterpiece.
I am pretty sure you are not or will ever be a mistake.
We all have a purpose. We all get this one life to fulfill that purpose. We are essentially player #1 the moment we enter this life. If I am player #1, I’m gonna be a bomb ass main character that fights all the goons, gets some coins, explore the world, and meet cool ass people along the way.
I think we just don’t give ourselves enough credit.
This is our playground. There is so much the world has to offer but we have all inherited a self-limiting belief that life is not meant to be lived but to survive. Survival has become our main source of living, hoping to get off work, hoping to pay these bills, hoping to get enough sleep, hoping to make it to the weekend to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
Honestly, I have BEEN tired of that shit.
We have limited ourselves based on those obvious answers of society’s standards and I feel we all are tired of hearing them. Our society runs on the chaotic notion that we have to move in a cyclical fashion to get to the society proclaimed ultimate end goal: RETIREMENT! By that time, we have grown too old to enjoy all the things we could have experienced when we were physically, mentally, and spiritually able.
When will you start to question if you are really living the life you deserve? When will you start realizing that you are worthy of a break, a new romance, a new career, a healthier lifestyle, financial freedom, vacations, world travels, and so much more that you limit yourself because for whatever reason you think you are not worthy?
Find your worth. Discover yourself. Open your mind to the possibilities of being a kick-ass player #1.
Because over here, I am trying to WIN!!
