With every step
Old Happy culture tells us that we need to achieve in order to be worthy.
With that message deeply ingrained into our minds, we push and push and push ourselves to achieve more and more. We burn ourselves out and we ignore our needs and we disconnect from our relationships.
And then when we finally achieve it, the happy feeling doesn't last. So we decide it's our fault, that we chose the wrong goal, that we need to do more to prove that we are worthy. So we set our sights on the next achievement... and the next... and on and on it goes.
But worthiness isn't something you have to earn. You are always worthy — not because of what you achieve or do not achieve, but because you are a human being. Because you are you.
