DESERVE... Do I?

Maybe the question isn't...

"Do I deserve happiness?"

Maybe it's...

"Who taught me what happiness should look like?"

The Seven of Cups asks the hard one: are you chasing your own desire, or a dream that family, society, or an old version of you handed you to carry? Not every cup on the table is yours to drink.

Deathcap surfaced in today's reading, for everyone taught early to stay quiet, compliant, small. The card's turn: that smallness was survival once. It was never who you are.

Consumer culture tells us to measure our worth by comparing ourselves to others, and this leaves us feeling less than. The way back is through less comparison and more connection. #selfworth #psychology #confidence

Your value is not measured by your productivity.

Not by how many errands you ran.
Not by how clean your house is.
Not by how much you accomplished today.

Some days surviving is the accomplishment.

And if that's where you are today, I'm proud of you. ❤️

Do you ever miss the person you used to be?

One thing chronic illness has taught me is that we don’t just grieve our health.

Sometimes we grieve our independence.
Our energy.
Our spontaneity.
The version of ourselves that existed before everything changed.

I’m learning that missing who I was doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate who I am now.

💜 What do you miss most about the person you used to be?

Success?

The word for the day at Ragtag Daily Prompt is success

I don’t “hate” a lot of things in life. I did when I was younger until I eventually reached a point where I realized it took a lot of energy to hate. But “success” is a word I hate.

I used to have a friend (RIP 11 years now☹️) who would judge everyone and everything. We would sit and be miserable together and he’d say stuff like, “He’s had a lot of girlfriends, he’s really a success”, or “He’s really successful, he has a good job and a lot of money.” You get the idea. And of course the underlying idea behind everything is that he and I, by virtue of our not having the things that he defined as “success” in life, like girlfriends, or glamorous careers, or fancy cars, or big houses, or lots of children, were failures.

Worse, for me, was that his standards of success and failure, they all flew in the face of my hard-earned (and expensive) belief that we don’t judge our insides with other people’s outsides. And as it turned out, hard-earned doesn’t always mean easily kept so there I was crying in my pizza along with him, failure that I was.

Ok, I don’t totally hate the word success because it has some legitimate uses, but I hate using the word “success” to define a person’s place in life, or in contrast, to indirectly label, or imply, someone a failure. And I’m pretty much back to not judging my insides with other people’s outsides.

Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
And if you take an inch, give ’em back a mile
‘Cause if you lie like a rug and you don’t give a damn
You’re never gonna be as happy as a clam

I'm the kind of guy who can turn a room on fire if I want to. But being alone is becoming more and more appealing.

When I'm alone I rely on my own social intelligence and don't dilute it with somebody else's. I don't need anyone or want anyone. I'm fine being me, walking into the world as my full self, no longer needing approval or trying to fit in.

It's simple. And I'm getting more comfortable with that.

By just being of authentic service, I'm literally helping people by being myself. Just being my fully weird self gives permission to others.

I rang my friend Katie midway through a drinking session to apologise for not being there after she'd been cheated on. She told me there are many moments she'll think, what would Brett do here? I didn't think I did much. But she felt seen.

They say "I love you," but only if you follow the rules. Unmask the toxic trade-off of conditional love and discover why the approval you’re desperately chasing is actually a cage slowly starving your true self-worth.

If Mom was in a good mood, I was an accident.

You are more than the thoughts your mind repeats.

Don’t reduce yourself to what your brain is currently saying.

A quotation from L'Engle

So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

Professor Whiskers has one reminder:If someone wants to talk to you… they usually find a way.

Protect your peace. Stop chasing.

She thought love meant giving more…
more time, more energy, more of herself.

But sometimes… overgiving doesn’t create love.
It creates imbalance.

Professor Whiskers steps in with the truth she didn’t want to hear—but needed to.

You don’t earn love by emptying yourself.

Stop overgiving.

So many hearts have been broken, more than once, by the sting of rejection; often by those we held most dear. Please know, there was never anything wrong with you. The true reasons for that distance often lie elsewhere.
I invite you to discover how to soothe the wounds in your heart. You can find the link to my website in my profile. I am here for you.
