Identity theft is a terrible crime that causes loss and heartache. In the UK, it is reported that in 2023:
• Criminals stole £1.17 billion through unauthorised and authorised fraud
• Banks prevented a further £1.25 billion of unauthorised fraud through advanced security systems.
However, there is an even more insidious form of identity theft that has scarred people’s lives and has caused them to forget who they are and has people believing that they are small, limited and powerless.
These are denials of your true self and an assertion of a false you.
This form of insidious theft of your identity began soon after you arrived on Earth. Parents, teachers, siblings, clergy and authority figures told you that you are inept, insignificant, ugly, stupid, worthless, unworthy, and sinful and that the world is a dangerous jungle with threats at every turn.
Over time, you begin to believe these terrible lies until the day comes when you forget your innate beauty, strength, innocence, and safety. Eventually, you adopt an identity contrary to your divine nature and may have since lived as someone you are not.
The truth is, despite the naysayers and the judges of your intentions, choices and character, you have more beauty inside than you can imagine. And somewhere, in the deepest recesses of your lovely heart and soul, there is a still small voice whispering the undeniable truth that you are loved more than you can know, and you are, and always have been and will be – enough.
So, cast aside the self-doubt, the self-judging voice and the limitations you and others place on you. If faith can indeed move mountains, imagine what a little faith in yourself might achieve. Your belief in your potential is the key to unlocking your true identity and self-worth.
Indeed, look at where you are now and remember what amazing things you have done to get here and how far you have come. Your past achievements are a testament to your strength and resilience.
There is a giant inside you waiting. Perhaps now is the time to give the giant a nudge. Take the first step towards reclaiming your true identity and self-worth by overcoming self doubt.
You have the power to make a change.
