“When we can let go of what other people think and own our story, we gain access to our worthinessâ€”the feeling that we are enough just as we are and that we are worthy of love and belonging. When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves from the parts of our lives that donâ€™t fit with who we think weâ€™re supposed to be, we stand outside of our story and hustle for our worthiness by constantly performing, perfecting, pleasing, and proving.

All these aspects are important parts of our commitment and makes us into one whole being with a one-pointed direction.”
