Own Your Work
Day 7: What if you truly believe you were right where you need to be?
Today I had this question looping in my spirit: What would it look like if I actually believed that I am right where I need to be?
This came up because I noticed myself slipping back into those old patterns — the urgency, the need to produce something, the itch to control the moment so nothing falls apart. That part of me that thinks my worth is tied to what I can show for myself.
But when I slowed down, I realized… maybe the falling apart is the thing that’s making room for something truer to emerge. Maybe being is the work right now.
In this episode/post, I unpack:
• Why the urge to “do more” is actually an old survival pattern
• What it means to trust divine timing instead of forcing every next step
• How to sit with the discomfort instead of sprinting out of it
• The deeper truth that your value is not measured by your output
And at the end, I ask you the same question I’m sitting with today:
What would it look like for you to really believe that you are right where you need to be?
