MOST OF US GRAPPLE WITH THE IDEA OF BEING worthy or enough in the moment, so we believe we have to be or do more to be validated. What does it mean to be worthy now? "You don't need to slay dragons, or achieve every expectation or perceived ideal society has for you first. Life doesn't always have to be a constant struggle for us to be worthy," says Nicky Rowbotham.
What should life be like? "When we live authentically, pursuing success for ourselves, life is easeful." Nicky notes that's not always easy, as there'll be tough times in life, "but our struggles don't have to define us." She elightens that struggle is, in fact, resistance or friction that should indicate we're not on the right path or working within our flow, as we try to force something to happen that may not be right for us. Here, she shares nuggets to help you step into and embrace your power.

I'd be ticking the box for society's expectations and external validation of my success.
