Stop Waiting. Start Living.
Most of us have been conditioned to believe a lie.
We’re told that our worth is something to be earned, that we need to achieve more, hustle harder, and prove ourselves before we can finally feel like we matter.
But no matter how much we accomplish, something still feels missing.
Why? Because mattering isn’t something you prove—it’s something you create.
And everything changes when you stop proving your worth—and start embodying it.
