The origin of the “I Am Worthy” affirmation in Superhuman: The Class came from a place within that ties to the overall mission of why I started the walk into the fitness industry. Somewhere there is a child or a person who is the last picked for sports or looked over for a position that they may want or be qualified for, but they don’t truly believe in themselves or they don’t fully believe in themselves. For whatever reason the self-worth is not there and the journey to find it seems so far fetched. However, there are times where even the down-trodden and the defeated get that spark of light. Though be it ever so slight and quick to the spirit, they feel that ray of hope. That split second boost in morale. In that moment, they are worthy. And they feel it and they get to have a short break from their unfulfilling reality where they feel powerless against the massive tide of life.

The truth is that we are worthy of the things we seek. We are also worthy of the path to travel along in order to get there. The idea of this statement is to capture and claim what is rightfully ours and to also understand the process it will take to acquire, to reach and to discover these things. In being worthy, one has to capitalize on that little spark of light and add some accelerant on to it to make it burn bright enough for the world around them to see. In being worthy, one has to take action effective immediately in order to add to the belief that they are indeed worthy of the life that they want to have. The actions need to have a deeply rooted unwavering belief that it can happen even though in the present moment it may seem so far off in the distance. Being worthy is far from an entitlement statement. If we are worthy of the spoils, then we are worthy of the work.

In going through the process required to get what we’re worth it makes us stronger, tougher, more resilient, and overall better suited to carry the load of the prize. A crown is heavy on the head. A title or position requires more responsibility. A high performance car requires a higher level of maintenance. When we state the claim of worthiness we are essentially saying that we are willing to accept the journey into a higher level of existence in order to have a higher level of existence.

You. Are. Worthy
