Is Your Self-Worth Holding You Back?
A friend and I were recently deep in conversation. One of those layered exchanges that happen when a reiki master and a long-time yoga practitioner land in the same room. We were talking about self-worth, intention, and how our inner beliefs shape the reality we live in. You know. Light stuff!
She later sent me a quote from her notes on a conversation between her life coach and Dr. Joe Dispenza:
“Your self-worth is your ceiling. You never go higher than the ceiling of your self-worth.”
On the surface, statements like this can feel overly simplified. Life, after all, is anything but linear. And yet, something in me softened when I read it. It landed with weight.
Can Our Self-Worth Set the Limits of Our Reality?
Does having a strong sense of self-worth automatically lead to a more meaningful or fulfilled life? Does it guarantee peace, purpose, or lasting contentment?
In the yogic tradition, the most potent teachings are often expressed in aphorisms (short, distilled truths) that require reflection and application to unlock their full meaning. This one is no different.
From the lens of yogic self-enquiry (svadhyaya), asking ourselves what we believe we are truly worthy of - whether it’s love, health, abundance, or joy—can uncover the hidden beliefs driving our choices. It may also reveal the energetic boundaries we've unconsciously set that keep us from stepping into our fullest expression.
What If Your Worth Was Never in Question?
When we raise the ceiling of our self-worth, we invite in a different kind of reality, one aligned with our dharma (soul purpose), one that mirrors the divine intelligence that lives in all of us.
Your presence has impact. Your beliefs have energy. And your worth is not conditional.
This is the work. This is the practice.
