The lecture was filmed and the DVD release date is today!</p>
<p>We're celebrating the release of <a href="http://www.ordinarycourage.com/hustle-for-worthiness-dvd/" target="_blank">"The Hustle for Worthiness" DVD </a>with an entire <strong><em>Week of Worthiness</em></strong>. It's all part of the Wholehearted Revolution!</p>
<p><span>Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, <em>No matter what gets done and how much is left undone; I am enough</em>.</span></p>
<p><span>It&rsquo;s going to bed at night thinking, <em>Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn&rsquo;t change the truth that I am worthy of love and belonging</em>.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>So many of us have knowingly created / unknowingly allowed / or been handed down a long list of worthiness "prerequisites."</p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy when I lose 20 pounds.</em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy if I get pregnant. </em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy if everyone thinks I'm a good mom. </em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy if I can make a living selling my art. </em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy if I can hold my marriage together. </em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy when I make partner. </em></p>
<p><em>I'll be worthy when I can do it all and look like I'm not even trying.</em></p>
<p><em>and so on . . .</em></p>
<p>Here's what is truly at the<em> heart </em>of Wholeheartedness:</p>
<p><strong>Worthy NOW! Not when. Not if. We are worthy of love and belonging NOW. Right this minute. As is.</strong></p>
<p>I'm giving away 3 copies of the DVD. All you have to do to win is leave your name along with this comment: "I am worthy NOW."&nbsp;</p>
