"Do You Know What You Deserve, or Are You Just Going With the Flow?"
Hey friends, have you ever found yourself stuck in a situation that feels like it’s eating away at your soul? Maybe it's a toxic relationship, a dead-end job, or simply a lingering sense that you're not where you're supposed to be. It’s like being caught in a whirlwind of emotions—feeling frustrated, confused, and stuck. But here’s the truth: sometimes, we need to forget what we feel and remember what we truly deserve.
In a world where emotions run high and the pressures of life can easily overwhelm us, it’s easy to lose sight of our worth. We start settling for less than we deserve because our feelings—frustration, fear, doubt—cloud our judgment. But I want to ask you today: are you living according to what you feel, or are you living in alignment with what you deserve?
The Power of Feelings: Fleeting Yet Powerful Feelings are a funny thing, aren't they? One moment you’re elated, the next, you're spiraling into confusion. It’s like trying to hold onto water—it slips right through your fingers. When life throws us curveballs, our emotions take center stage, and it’s easy to let them control our decisions.
But here’s the kicker: feelings are temporary. They’re fleeting. They’re like waves crashing against the shore, powerful in the moment, but always dissipating with time. Think about it—when was the last time you felt the exact same thing you did a week ago? Our emotions shift like the weather, and while they’re valid, they don’t always reflect the truth of who we are or what we deserve.
Let’s take an example. Imagine you’re in a toxic relationship. You’re constantly feeling drained, maybe a little sad, a lot confused. The relationship might feel like a rollercoaster of emotions—highs and lows, moments of connection followed by disappointment. But if you stop and ask yourself: Is this what I deserve? Is this making me feel whole? The answer is likely a resounding no.
In these moments, we have to separate what we feel from what we deserve. Emotions may be telling you to stay, to fight for something that might not be healthy, but your worth is reminding you that you deserve better. You deserve respect. You deserve joy. You deserve peace.
Remember What You Deserve: The Anchor in the Storm Now, don’t get me wrong—it’s not easy to quiet the noise of our emotions. Letting go of feelings, especially when they’re intense, can feel like trying to hold onto a fleeting breeze. But what’s constant, what never changes, is your inherent worth.
Think of this: when a storm is raging outside, the ground remains steadfast. The storm may howl and roar, but the earth beneath your feet doesn't move. Your worth is like that solid ground. Life might throw challenges at you, people might disappoint you, and your emotions may pull you in every direction. But at the core of it, you have a constant: your worth.
And this is where the mantra comes into play: "Sometimes you have to forget what you feel, and remember what you deserve." This is the wisdom that cuts through the noise. It’s the idea that when we focus on what we truly deserve—not just what we feel in the moment—we’re able to anchor ourselves in something far more enduring and powerful.
Taking Action: How to Live by What You Deserve So, how do we turn this philosophy into action? How do we make sure we’re not just floating along with what we feel, but aligning our lives with what we know we deserve?
Pause and Reflect: Take a moment. Breathe. When you’re faced with a decision, especially an emotionally charged one, step back and ask yourself: Is this serving me? Is this situation giving me what I deserve? Be brutally honest with yourself.
Evaluate Relationships: Are the people in your life lifting you up, or dragging you down? True friends and loved ones support your growth and well-being. If someone or something isn’t contributing positively to your life, it’s time to make a change.
Trust Your Inner Voice: Your feelings might scream at you to stay in a bad situation or settle for less, but your inner voice—the one that speaks to you when things are calm—will remind you of your worth. Trust it.
Set Boundaries: It’s hard to live according to your worth without boundaries. Setting boundaries allows you to preserve your energy and protect yourself from people or situations that don’t honor who you are.
Pursue Passion: When you focus on what you deserve, you start to seek out what lights you up. Whether it’s a career that excites you, a hobby that brings you joy, or a cause that ignites your passion—go after what makes you feel alive.
Rewrite Your Narrative: You’re the author of your own story. If you don’t like where the plot is going, it’s okay to make edits. You have the power to change your life, to shift your focus from feeling stuck to pursuing what you deserve.
A Conclusion Worth Remembering Friends, life is short, and it’s too precious to settle for anything less than what you truly deserve. The journey of remembering your worth is empowering. When you know your value, when you understand that you deserve the best life has to offer, your choices will reflect that truth. Don’t let your feelings dictate your future; instead, let your worth guide you toward a life of fulfillment and joy.
And now, let me leave you with a quote that I hope resonates deep within your heart:
"In the quiet of your soul, let your worth speak louder than your fears, and may it guide you to the life you deserve."
