"Don't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't...you aren't." -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
I believe that this was one of the biggest facades of life that I believed to be true...I equated my self-worth with what I did...and that opened me up to a mother load of problems. Any criticism at all was a personal affront to my feelings of worthiness...it meant I failed!! I was always trying to please others and would feel devastated when I received no acknowledgement...but I tried/worked so hard!!
My Ego was through the roof!! What a hot mess of tears, frustration, sadness and anger I was!! I have since put in a lot of reflection and reading and work to rediscover that I AM ENOUGH!!! What I do is NOT who I am or what I am worth to others...at least not in the grand scheme of things. I am so much happier now that I have put the Ego to bed for a loooooonnnggg rest and I know that criticism is to my benefit, not to be afraid of!!
