Have you ever felt like you are not good enough? And no matter how hard you tried to silence your inner critic your negative self-talk still got the best of you?
I am referring to that nagging voice in your head that says “you could have done better. You should have done better”… Does this sound familiar?
I found that these unhelpful feelings are what is getting in the way of our clarity and wisdom in the moment. They act as a dark screen that obscures clarity and block us from seeing our true self-worth. They prevent us from valuing the true essence of our being.
When I woke up this morning the first memorable thought that came to me was the Arabic proverb “Blessed is he that knows his own worth”. My interpretation of this saying was instantly transformed. Suddenly I could see it from a fresh perspective. I always thought that it meant to urge us not to take on too much or not to agree to do more than we actually can. Whereas today I had the epiphany that the key message behind this proverb is that “you are your self’s greatest asset”. Hence, you must invest in that asset; develop that asset; and be grateful for that asset. Never underestimate your talents and abilities. Do not ever shortchange yourself. It is urging us to tap into our limited potential, to reawaken our inner wisdom, and to grow like never before. You can achieve this only through reconnecting with that beautiful space within for the peace you crave and the clarity you seek. The space that holds the secret to our destiny.
