Every OHVAN design has inspiration behind it. The goal of the ‘Worth It Hoodie’ is to remind everyone, wearers and observers, that no matter what hardships or struggles they may be going through they are Worth It. You are Worth time, you are Worth the effort, you are SO valuable. You are so valuable that there is only one of you. You are one of nearly 8 billion people on earth. To make you even more special, the odds of even being on this earth as a human are so slim, 4 trillion to one. YOU ARE ONE IN 4 TRILLION! As Gary Vaynerchuk likes to point out, "You could be a f***ing BUS!" Those who make others feel unworthy are not aware of these extraordinary statistics and therefore haven’t any authority to make you feel like you are not Worth It. You are Worth It. You are worth going to the ends of the earth for, you deserve effort, you deserve respect, you deserve that pay raise, you deserve to fight for yourself, you deserve the extra time it takes to make a situation right. You deserve everything you want and more, you are Worth going out and getting it, you are Worth It.
The "Worth It" hoodie is not meant to come across narcissistic or passive aggressive as it has been pointed out that some feel it does. To be Worth It is to be human. Worth It is a mantra that everyone should live by and has been used in situations across the board. From being worth it in the gym, to being worth it in school, being Worth It is an ongoing feeling that we hope everyone finds the strength and value from within to embrace.
