Until You Feel Worthy, You Will Never Truly Receive What You Desire in Life

Here’s the truth: Until you feel worthy, you will never truly receive what you desire in life.

Instead, you’ll receive other things that become the contrast that gives you clarity. You’ll experience people and situations and circumstances that recreate that unworthy feeling.

Over and over and over again. It will be a perpetual cycle that won’t stop until you consciously choose to stop it.

Until then, it will just continue to be more people, situations and circumstances that match “unworthy” and “not good enough.”

Choose Your Words Based On How They’re Defined And How They Feel When You Say Them

As a writer, I obviously know A LOT of words and phrases, and I have a gift for stringing them together to make sentences and paragraphs that create impact.

So I’m always looking up the definition of different words, just to expand my vocabulary and have some fresh ways of saying things. And when I recently looked up the definitions of “Want” and “Desire,” I was blown away by what they actually mean.

❎ WANT: to be needy or destitute; to have or feel need; failure to possess.

✅ DESIRE: to express a wish for; to hope for; a conscious impulse toward something that promises enjoyment or satisfaction.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Then I said those words out loud, to see how they felt in my body when I said them.

Living A Feel-Good Life Is Not About Not Doing Things When You Don’t Want To Or Don’t Feel Like It

I just want to clear something up about living a feel-good life, because I think the phrase “feel-good” can sometimes mislead people to think that if they don’t want to or don’t feel like doing something, they shouldn’t do it. And that’s not it at all.

It’s about doing more of what feels good to you. It’s about focusing your life (and business) around getting to spend most of your time doing things that feel good.

And it’s about taking the things you know you need to do but either aren’t doing or are claiming don’t make you feel good so you can avoid them, and finding a way to make them feel good. So that you will do them or at least will have less resistance to doing them.

All You Ever Have To Do Is Just Focus On What’s Right In Front Of You

Over the weekend, I went to a resort in the mountains and did some hiking. I even completed a rock scramble which started at ground-level and took me all the way up the mountain to the highest point where there’s a historic tower.

Before I started the scramble-hike, I thought I could handle it. It didn’t look that hard.

But once I was deeper into it, I realized I was wrong.

On Relentless Determination and Being Unavailable For Anything Except Getting What You Want

This is my dog, Weiland (see pic). He is relentlessly determined to get what he wants and he is always unavailable for not getting it. He expects to get it and will not give up until he does.

Take, for instance, this morning. I put some gluten-free toast in the toaster and then set everything out to make a BLT (yes, I eat those in the morning). I hate making sandwiches when my toast is hot because it melts the mayo and I like my mayo cold. So once the toast was done, I left it in the toaster to cool down and I went into the living room to listen to a podcast episode.

Normally, Weiland follows me everywhere I go. But not this morning. This morning he wanted some of the bacon he knew was on the counter.

And he wasn’t giving up until he got it.
