“I am worthy of great things” – This is stuck onto the mirror in my bathroom.
There is a really specific reason I make sure this quote is somewhere that I can see it, everyday. That reason is because I was not raised to believe in myself. In fact, I was raised to doubt myself. I was given every excuse under the sun to not succeed and I was regularly told that I was unable to work full time or that I needed to find someone who could provide for me because I couldn’t do it for myself.
I have suffered from imposter syndrome at every stage of growth because of what I was lead to believe about myself growing up. I was a sick child, a sick teenager, I has 13 surgeries and countless hospital admissions throughout my twenties and yes, I had every reason to throw in the towel and give up. Being unwell, it is very easy to convince yourself that you have an excuse to fail or a reason to be unworthy of achieving everything you want to achieve in life. It took me a long time to see that this was my fundamental belief and I was the one preventing my own success, when I did, I invested in changing that belief system and becoming someone I was proud of.
Here, today, in my thirties, I have everything I ever wanted. All the dreams I had and all the things I never thought I would obtain are scattered around me. I have the most wonderful fiancé, I have my own house, I own my dream car, I am starting my own company and while the last one is slow because I am building it through battling against endometriosis and a list of other fertility issues, I know I am worthy of developing this empire and creating the life of my dreams, again, regardless of the challenges.
My dreams and my goals are vastly different today than what they were even a year ago.
But that’s okay. I completed what I wanted to complete in my last career and I am now ready to move on and work on my new dream in a space that is truely aligned to me. My spiritual mediumship is just the beginning of where I want to go over the next ten years and I have such incredible support around me now that I know I can achieve anything I want because, I am worthy of great things.
