Only You Can Fight For Your Worthiness
Validation Won’t Save You.
How does that statement sit with you? We’re naturally inclined to want the validation of others. It’s why so many of us find ourselves seeking out acceptance, approval, and validation. So we won’t feel alone. So we can feel better about ourselves.
It turns into us wanting someone else to save us from ourselves. Or save us from our fear that we’re worth it. That we’re worth fighting for.
Do you believe that you’re worth fighting for?
When you’ve experienced heartbreak, it doesn’t feel that way at all. Typically you experience such gut-wrenching pain that you feel worthless, not good enough, and completely broken.
So to hear someone tell you that you actually are worthy, feels like a lie. How can that be true? Someone you had loved with all of your heart, and who told you that they loved you back, suddenly walked away. Or was taken from you. The relationship that was your favorite thing in the world is no more. And the only person who fought to keep it going was you.
Who is worth fighting for? The person who was left, abandoned, rejected? That person is worth staying and fighting for, you say? Nah man, that can’t be true. If that were true, the one I loved would still be here…
