Worthy

Self-worth in the clincher.
Want to quit a nasty habit?
Lose weight?
Be healthier?
Get wealthier?
Find yourself continuously coming up against a desire to change, and not making progress?
Or taking one step forward and two steps back?

Motivation is not the issue.
Willpower is not the issue. 
Self-control is not the issue. 
Luck is most definitely not the issue.

The issue, plain and simple, is self-worth.
If you don't believe, deep down at the core of your heart, that you deserve to thrive, to flourish, to prosper... you won't.
The only person you can make happy, is you.
The only person who has an opinion on the quality of your life which tangibly matters, is you.

Anything you build in life, unequivocally HAS to be built on a strong foundation of unwavering self-esteem and self-worth. You have to value yourself, in order to build anything of value.
This is not egoism, it's realism.

You are the writer of your story. 
You hold the power to make or break your own narrative.

Find the things you love about yourself, and cultivate those things. Cultivate your own self-worth first.
All else will follow.
