God, your words resonated with me heavily Michel. From feeling unworthy into believing old standards MUST still be used. To even blaming ourselves for people’s sick demands and abuses.
I actually went and finished everything to get my commercial driver license (CDL) permit today. I’ll get a $4-5/hour raise just by doing this simple “paperwork”. I’ve had this opportunity for at least 7 years. I’ve just not felt worthy of taking it. “Not worthy” has hung me back on many, many growth opportunities.
And to let you know where I am now, I actually cried after receiving my permit. I walked out of the building, and tears started rolling down my cheek, in part due to:
That’s been a major fear of mine, and I was thinking of that while crying. Those same childhood fears of mine are still hanging on too. In my family, there’s always been reluctance and resistance to major growth because “we don’t do things like that”. I’ve never actually heard those words from my siblings, but we’re all living it out.
I’ve got only one “problem” right now. I’m on day 1 of a 5 day washout. Like you, I love how I can easily see such major holdups so easily with a single loop of Phoenix.
Thanks (sincerely) for posting your update. I get it.
