What Is It To Be Worthy?

This is a question that has arisen for both me and several of my clients this week.  It’s always intriguing to me how an issue that I’m mulling about, can be mirrored in the lives of my clients.  That being said, the whole topic of worthiness seems to be one of relevance in our society at large.  In a world where there is a wide gap between the richest and poorest of humanity, where some are privy to conditions of comfort and others of squalor, what is it to be worthy — and what is that the worthy have?

Here’s what I’ve learned this past week.  The fact of one’s existence automatically makes one worthy.  In other words you’re here, therefore you’re worthy.  Of what?  That is the next question, right?  My personal belief is that we are all worthy of absolute peace, fulfillment, joy and abundance.  The challenge is that we tend to define worthiness and balance in terms of material qualities.  In other wrods we look to the material trappings of our world as markers of our worthiness — and even then we often put on skewed lenses before viewing our circumstances.  For example, those with debt will often berate themselves for their financial condition — when another frame, one that probably serves better, is to remind yourself that you were WORTHY to receive credit in the first place, and now you can in fact take steps to eliminate your debt and move on, however small.

Bottom-line for me I guess, is the realization that it really is not that difficult to settle into the place of feeling worthy, of knowing that I’m worthy.  And this is best done by losing my personal judgments and comparisions of myself against others.  So my new mantra is, quite simply, “I am worthy.”  Period.  ‘Nuff said.  I AM WORTHY.
