I would be bold enough to accept the love into my life that is being offered to me without thinking that I'm not good enough to deserve it, or that it may be taken away from me by other people that deserve it more than I do. I would quit spending so much of my energy trying to live up to an imagined standard that if I could just reach, I would finally be considered "worthy".

I do recognize these things.
I recognize how "I am worthless" is running my life.
I can see when "I am worthless" has stolen control.

I just can't seem to make the step away from that control.
