Operation Squelch Unworthiness
Unworthy much?
I am stunned at the amount of people who feel unworthy, less than. When unworthiness rises in me like the flu I hadn't really considered how many other people it affects. As I truly turn my listening ears on (if my mom"ness" hasn't made an appearance it has now...WOW) I am taken a back by endless tails of unworthiness. It shocks me - actually it breaks my heart - more for others because I know the pain and how debilitating it can be. I think if you had a support group for souls that feel unworthy you would fill multiple super bowl stadiums around the world. When does this become part of who we are? How do we break the cycle infusing compassion? I feel a fire deep within to make this my cause - to rid people of false senses of unworthiness. Is cultivating compassion the way?
As I write this my heart aches with questions. It yearns for answers. Tears sting my eyes - its hard to type. I see it so clearly in the people that I love and I want to help, shout, shake the unworthiness out. As I bring awareness to this pattern in me I notice that at times its so strong that it takes hold sucking the action right out of me. Other times I am able to observe it and not give weight to it.

scrutiny, we get an opportunity to be different in relationship to what is arising."
Here's to deeper awareness, clarity, compassion and love for ourselves and for all beings. YOU ARE WORTHY! Seriously YOU ARE!
