I forgive myself for settling.
I’ve stayed in places, relationships, and mindsets that were beneath my worth — not because I didn’t want more, but because I didn’t believe I could ask for it. Today, I release the guilt. I forgive myself for settling. And I choose better from here forward. Echo me if you will: I forgive myself for settling. — Dave Shelton #ForgivingMyself #NoMoreSettling #HealingForward #SelfWorth #Becoming #YouMatter #DaveShelton

Echo me if you will: I deserve it all. — Dave Shelton #IDeserveItAll #SelfWorth #ReceiveWithGrace #HealingForward #AbundanceMindset #YouMatter #DaveShelton
