Hey gorgeous,

I woke up this morning, haunted by this quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower:

We accept the love that we think we deserve.

I heard it. I heard it again. I thought about it during the night.

As I heard it, and I felt my prayer for you building. It is the prayer that I have for myself. It is the prayer that I have for my sisters. For my wife. For my mother. For my clients.

The prayer is simple.

I pray that, with time, you are able to allow huge love in, that you learn how to receive all of the love that is available to you, because you are good and you are worthy. That you learn that you don't have to DO anything to be deserving, you are deserving simply because you exist. That your relationship with yourself becomes your primary source of love. That you know that you are worthy and brilliant, and the way that you care for yourself reflects that knowledge.

Beneath this, beneath the love that we accept from others, is the love that we give to and receive from ourselves.

We accept the love from ourselves that we think we deserve.

We accept the LIFE that we think we deserve.

Our ability to understand and believe in our own deserving doesn't just alter the trajectory of our lives, it is the trajectory of our lives.

This concept cuts directly to the core of our relationship with ourselves. It is the foundation of self-love. It is our inner knowing that we are worthy, fit, and suitable.

It is how we devote ourselves to ourselves. How we serve our spirits.

This concept is not just for the chosen few. It is for you. You are deserving, even if you may not feel that way today.

You do not become deserving because you are pretty or because you weigh a certain amount. You do not become deserving because you make $______. You do not become deserving because someone else loves you or deems you so.

Your deserving is not contingent on your final destination, or the place that you think you should be. It doesn't care about your degree or your shiny car or your week of clean eating. You do not need to strive to deserve.

You are deserving, because you exist, because you are human, because you were born good.

And yet, so many of us live our entire life by external markers, trying to prove that we are good, prove that we are worthy.

You are good. You are worthy.

The only one who needs convincing is you. I already know you, because the good and deserving in me is primed to see the good and deserving in others. It doesn't need to compare Facebook friends or dollars in a bank account. My good and deserving doesn't seek to dim your light or trample on your successes.

That part of me believes whole-heartedly in that part of you, knowing full and well that when we allow ourselves to shine we unconsciously give others the permission to shine, also.

That we can shine together. Supporting one another and marveling how good it feels to throw the shoulds out the window, and dig into these questions: What do I want? What makes ME happy? What would I do if no one ever told me what to do? What kind of life do I want?

What am I ready for?

I think that might be the most important question of them all. You are ready to love and accept yourself fully - even if you're nervous or scared of what it might look like. You are trustworthy. You are good. You do not have to do anything - you are deserving today.

My name is Mara Glatzel , and I coach and write for brave women who are looking to chase what lights them up, follow their inner wisdom, and embark on the gorgeous journey to creating deeply fulfilling + satisfying lives.

In creating this sacred space for women to thrive, I'm bringing a masters in clinical social work with a trauma specialization, my spot-on intuition, and years of mucking through the melodrama of my own life as I worked to move from an existence steeped in fear of and hatred towards myself, to a life of self-acceptance and love.
