We often ask ourselves the wrong question when we think about our dreams.
Most people wonder, “Am I worthy of this dream?” especially when the dream feels big—like a leap beyond anything they’ve ever done before.
But the real question—the more empowering one—is this:
“Is my dream worthy of me?”
Is this dream worthy of my life force? My time, energy, focus, and the resources I’ll pour into it?
That subtle shift in perspective points to an often overlooked truth, which is that you and I can’t be more valuable, more deserving than we already are.
This shift in perspective nurtures a self-valuing perception and understanding that each of us exists for an exquisite purpose, and fulfilling our dream is an important part of our evolution.
Because you’re not here to chase someone else’s version of success. You’re here to align your life with what deeply matters to you.
One way to know if your dream is truly right for you is to ask:
Does this align with my core values?
Because when you’re in harmony with what matters most, you feel at peace. There’s ease. Things click. You’re not fighting against yourself or your circumstances—you’re flowing with them.
So if you’re not feeling that sense of peace, it’s a powerful signal. It’s an invitation to get curious and ask: Is what I’m doing—or how I’m thinking about it—actually in line with my values?
Even when you’re not sure of your next step, or if you’ve drifted from your vision a bit, the simplest way back is through gratitude and curiosity.
These two states expand you. They leave doors open—for insight, for creativity, for opportunity—and they gently guide you back to what matters, because they tune your awareness to what you already have that’s precious to you.
When your thoughts, your actions, and your focus are all in harmony with your true values, that’s where flow begins. That’s where life becomes more fulfilling, more joyful… even more fun.
So maybe the next time you feel a sense of resistance, burnout, or frustration, try this:
- Pause.
- Generate gratitude.
- And get curious about where you may have stepped out of alignment.
- Ask, “What would I love that also aligns with my values?”
Because when you’re aligned, everything changes.
