Just about every single person I meet with is consumed in shame and self-doubt. It's a dis-ease that's rampant in our society today. We feel
worthless and inadequate. The language in our minds that we use to describe ourselves is so harsh and disparaging.
And we’ve come to believe that what these thoughts tell us is the truth of who we are.
You absolutely did not come into the world believing yourself to be inadequate. You came in
innocent, whole, and filled with potential. Thinking you’re unworthy and not good enough is an identity you learned through your interactions with others.
So the medicine for this identity is to return to your natural state. This is the state of who you were before the identity took hold. And this state, your essential wholeness, has always been here and available to
experience.
Knowing this, you’re no longer stuck in the conversation in your head about how you’re inadequate or what you should or shouldn’t have done. Your attention opens to presence, to relaxation, and to the simple fact that without these thoughts, everything is okay. You are okay.
