Guest Blog Post: You Are Worthy by Michael Barata
Posted on by • 0 Comments

We surrender our self to people because we are taught to believe that’s what it means to serve. 

We barely get to know our self, which is why it’s so easy to surrender it. And for those who catch a glimpse of it, but deny it, that then causes us to fall prey to our fears and doubts. 

Sure, we always hold the power to be whatever we choose. But, when someone you respect or care deeply for or love prefers you don’t live your truth for whatever reason and if you comply, in that moment, you also dismiss your worth. 

I know it can be so incredibly challenging while you ache with pain, but know this, your worthiness is not to be bargained, cheapened, or denied by you or anyone. 

I am worthy.

You are worthy.

They say that he unconditionally loves you, but you are must do this and that and more of this and less of that to be in “good standing” or “have favor” or “be accepted” by God. For me, that always feels like a lot of pressure. Pressure to… Continue Reading

This past weekend, I was scheduled to attend an Influencers Weekend Retreat booked with 8 woman. I didn’t want to go.

I have these two horses… Roxy is what you would call energy efficient. She’s super dependable, easy to manage and I can pretty much count on her to be level-headed in any situation. We have been together a long time so our communication can be really subtle. My other horse, Isaac, was literally born to… Continue Reading

Limiting beliefs, we all have them. It’s that elephant in the room that no one likes to address. It is the ceiling, the capstone of how far you will let yourself to be allowed to experience life. Having a limited belief is like a dog chained in a yard. The stake in the ground is… Continue Reading

I would have lost heart…when I had to fight for 3.5 years with the Honda dealership over prepaid maintenance that I paid for but was charged each and every time I came in (11 times), unless I believed that if I was patient and kept sticking to the documents and asking for resolution, I would… Continue Reading

To create new means you have to Stop. Undo. Change. Release. Transition. Create or Build. Embrace. Focus. This week it has… Continue Reading
