Recognizing Innate Enoughness
Everyone has the potential to feel inherently worthy, but societal conditioning often obscures this recognition, leading individuals to believe they must achieve something to be deemed 'enough.' Many driven by hustle culture associate their self-worth with performance and productivity, unwittingly falling into a trap of inadequacy. This relentless pursuit of future validation diverts attention from the truth of one's innate value. Understanding that worth is inherent, rather than something to be earned, is crucial for transforming the intention behind one's actions from proving worth to expressing it.
