Extensive research shows that over 85% of people struggle with some degree of low self-worth, self-esteem, or confidence. For many, this results in a bleak view of the future—one that merely repeats the challenges of their past with only slight, predictable improvement.
When we lack belief in ourselves, life can begin to feel like something we’re surviving rather than something we’re creating. This resignation strips our days of passion, purpose, and possibility. But there’s a different path available—one that begins with how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve.
People with a strong sense of self-worth approach life with a different mindset. They expect good things to happen, and because of that, they often attract positive outcomes. Their optimism becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Now imagine this: what if your future wasn’t just something that happens to you, but something you create—something that unfolds in alignment with a powerful promise you make to yourself? You are the architect of your life. The quality of your future will rise or fall based on your expectations and your commitment to live into them.
If you expect more of the same, you’ll unconsciously act in ways that deliver more of the same. But if you believe in a brighter, bolder future—if you expect growth, healing, love, success—then your behavior will align with that belief. And that alignment will attract the people, opportunities, and breakthroughs that turn your vision into reality.
Our outer world reflects our inner world. If we feel worthy, we make choices that reflect that belief. We pursue joy. We build healthy relationships. We take action that aligns with abundance. Conversely, if we feel unworthy, we often settle for less—less love, less purpose, less success—because deep down, we don’t believe we deserve more.
But here’s the truth: You do deserve more. And you always have.
Everything in your life—your relationships, your health, your finances, your self-image—has shown up in alignment with what you’ve believed about yourself, whether consciously or not. If you want to change what you see in your outer world, you must first shift what you believe on the inside.
That starts with releasing the faulty stories and limiting decisions you made earlier in life—often unconsciously—that have kept you stuck. You’re not unlovable. You’re not defective. You’re not powerless. Those are lies. It’s time to replace them with a declaration of who you truly are—because you say so.
Redesign your self-image. Set new expectations. Envision a future that reflects your deepest desires. Reach out to those who can support you. And most importantly, take consistent, aligned action.
When we do the inner work to heal and let go of past baggage, we free ourselves to design a life rooted in joy, abundance, fun, purpose, and love. When we expect the best and act on those expectations, we shape a future that reflects our highest potential.
You have the power to create your life on purpose.
So, here’s your challenge:
Write out a clear and specific vision of what you want your life to look like in every area—your relationships, your health, your finances, your career, your recreation, and your personal and spiritual growth. Then commit to doing the healing work required to restore your self-worth and make that vision a reality.
I wrote The Self-Esteem Book and The Self-Esteem Workbook to help you do exactly that. All it takes is the courage to begin.
You are worthy of a life filled with confidence, love, and purpose. Decide today to expect more—and start living into the magnificent future that’s waiting for you.
