83: Monday Moment: In Case You've Forgotten · Banish the Lies: Outsmart Your Inner Critic

  Good Monday morning.
• 0:02
  I was sitting in my quiet time this morning journaling, and I wrote a question at the top of the page: What is a message that might bless my listeners today?
• 0:14
  And what followed was something I felt moved to share with you.
• 0:18
  So rather than asking you to think about anything, I'd simply invite you to receive this.
• 0:27
  And wherever you are, perhaps take a slow, intentional breath and just listen You, my friend, are enough.
• 0:41
  You've always been enough.
• 0:44
  You entered this world with grace and innocence, a vessel of pure love.

  Think for a moment about how we respond to a newborn baby.
• 0:57
  We don't ask what they've accomplished.
• 1:00
  We don't measure their worth.
• 1:04
  We simply behold them and love them because the love we feel in their presence is pure and unconditional.
• 1:15
  This is the love we are meant to feel, the love we are meant to carry.
• 1:22
  But life throws things at us: judgments, corrections, insults, random standards we're meant to meet, competition, abuse, trauma.
• 1:40
  And we build our armor.
• 1:43
  We build safety strategies.
• 1:47
  We build false beliefs about who we are And so today, I'm here to remind you that that love, that deep and brilliant love is still there under the layers of protection, under the layers of misperception, under the layers of false beliefs, under the self-condemnation, under the fear, under the doubt, under the pain, and under the scars.
• 2:28
  But that love isn't just still in you, it is you.
• 2:35
  And even if your mind struggles to receive this, I invite you, with the help of your breath and your intention, to drop into your heart and meet that love there.
