Sharing myself and what I love has always been terrifyingly vulnerable. I struggle sometimes with feeling like I have something worthy to offer the world. And, the more I slow down and be present with myself, I’ve realized that freedom from this feeling of inadequacy can come by following my inner spark. Following what lights me up. What gets me curious. What nudges me from inside.⠀
⠀
And then it doesn’t matter what others have to say or the thoughts of doubt spinning in my mind. My desire and joy, even in the face of deep pain, can carry me above judgment - mine or others. ⠀
⠀
It doesn’t always go that way. Some days I feel stuck in the pain of unworthiness, of not-enough-ness. However, I’ve been befriending my spark more and more, and now it can guide me in dark moments. ⠀
What lights you up? Where is your spark leading you today? ⠀
And if your spark doesn’t feel accessible, know you have value simply by being. To quote Melissa Ambrosini, “the world needs your magic.”
And your magic is you being you. Fears, hopes, and all.
