Where in your life are you operating from worthiness instead of willingness?

Worthiness is about character. It’s a trap. You can’t measure worthiness. You can’t add to or subtract from it. If you need to become more worthy before you can do or create something… well, you’re kind of screwed.

Willingness, on the other hand, is about action. You don’t have to be worthy to take action. You just have to be willing. And you have to be willing to roll with whatever happens as a result.

For example: No matter what type of work you do, let’s say you see an opportunity to serve or connect with someone, and you hesitate at the thought, “What if I reach out and he thinks I’m being pushy or just trying to sell him something?”

And your response to that thought is:

Option #1: “I better not. He’ll think I’m a jerk.”

➡️ This is WORTHINESS and will most likely lead to INaction.

Option #2: “I’m willing to find out. And if he does — and gets upset with me — then I’ll just explain that while I do serve as a way of creating clients, most of the people I serve never become my clients.”

➡️ This is WILLINGNESS and will most often result in ACTION.

Notice the places in your life where you’re operating from worthiness. A good indicator is that you’re having thoughts like:

“Who am I to…?”

“If I just get better at this one thing or get one more training first…”

“I’m not ready yet.”

“But what if…[insert all the things that could go wrong here]”

And as a result of this thinking, you’re not taking action.

How could you experience these scenarios differently if you were operating from a place of willingness instead?
