Power is understanding the immutability of your worth. From that place, you’re not desperate for an outcome to unfold in a particular way, because you know you’re already worthy of whatever the outcome would grant you. You give yourself permission to feel joy, love, dignity, freedom, and connection now. You already won.
Self worth feels like the opposite of shame. When we believe we have to earn our worth, we believe we are worthless. This feels like shame. Shame is the dark underbelly of perfectionism. Power is knowing that we were worthy all along. We never had to earn anything.
