But I learned a better answer: I pursue my goals because I love myself and taking care of myself is a gift – even though I might also be working toward some kind of change as a goal.

Too often in life, we’re told we’re not good enough, that we lack something important, and that we should work really, really hard to improve – lose weight, or get a better-paying job, or buy a bigger house.

The message is the same: You are not enough.

But when I started to see it differently, I gained so much power and motivation. I want you to try seeing your goals through this prism, too!

• You are already more than enough.
• You already deserve all happiness and success.
• And you already have everything you need to succeed.

So, I want you to pursue your goals from a place of love and self-care, rather from a position of lacking, of not being “enough” somehow. Rewrite the stories you tell yourself so you end up winning in them.

A few examples of what I mean:

• Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for something you ate.
• Saving money is prioritizing what you really want over what you want right now.
• Eating healthy food is a way to feel better, move better, and look better every day.
  When you take action and make sacrifices out of love, you’ll never regret it.

You don’t necessarily have to change anything.

Just love yourself.
