Do you really belong here?




Of course you do, you are exactly where you belong.

We all know the saying fake it till you make it. Its Amy Cuddy version I like, which is fake it till you become it. If you are there, you belong.

“When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness, is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible.” Brene Brown

Often we believe in our hearts that we belong but our mind (ego) tells us, your not ready, you haven’t done enough training, you haven’t studied enough, you haven’t got enough hours up. I could go on all day with the amount of excuses our mind will give us on why we shouldn’t be there. Our ego is doing its job; it wants to keep us safe and maybe a little too comfortable.

“The feeling of not belonging, of not being entirely worthy, of being sometimes hostage to your own sensibilities. Those things speak to me very personally.” Anthony Minghella

The same thing is if you are in a place were your heart tells you that it’s not right that you don’t belong here. Maybe you don’t feel like your living to your incredible life’s potential. Your heart says you need to change and fast, but your mind (ego) tells you otherwise. It begins to say its safe here, its to risky to do that other thing, your too busy right now, your not smart enough to do that, do it next year when you have more time. The list goes on for us all doesn’t it?

“We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.” William Glasser

When coaching my clients a question that comes up a lot is how can I get rid of the self-talk, well the truth is its always going to be there. You just need to acknowledge it and keep moving forward, keep getting out of your comfort zone and listen to your heart. You CAN do that other thing, you are smart enough and you do have enough time. You have everything inside right now.

“You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” Brene Brown

The universe or god (which ever your faith) will never put you in a place you are not ready for. If you are doing the do, then you definitely belong. No amount of theory or training can prepare you, so get out there and do the do.


Your heart is right……you belong. Embrace it. Enjoy it. Respect it. Live it.

Rise Up. Out of the everyday and into life.
