When you truly begin to believe in what you bring to the table in any relationship, you will tolerate less of the bullshit. When you know your worth and what you deserve, you will find it harder to stay around those who don’t. And when you close the door to what was before, you put yourself out there to attract what you deserve and all these new, amazing doors will open for you.
My question is, do you really know what you deserve? We often accept the love we think we deserve and many times, our idea of what that is, is actually not accurate. We tend to settle or stick with what is comfortable for us, even if it’s suboptimal. Or even if it makes us sad. We tend to stay at jobs we hate because it’s predictable and pays the rent. We lose sight of what we deserve one compromise at a time.
I started this post with the idea that I would list some ways how you can identify what you want and deserve in your relationships and career. But I found myself coming back to one thing. And that is simply this idea: When you focus your time, effort and energy into becoming the best version of yourself, everything else will follow. And it will be there in abundance.
When you to treat yourself with love and respect you have already set the bar for how others should treat you. And the right people will love that about you and gravitate towards you. When you know that you bring value to the table at work, you will start reaching for more, because you know you’ve earned your place in a better role.
It really comes down to how you treat yourself and what you expect from yourself. When you raise that bar, people take notice and know what you have to offer. And they want to be part of that.
Do you know what you deserve in your relationships? What about your career?
