The Lesson: The beliefs we reserve for ourselves and about our spirit can be particularly damaging. Without knowing who we are, it’s nearly impossible to know what we want or what we need. Furthermore, without truly knowing oneself, it’s almost impossible to truly know someone else or to give or not give the credit they deserve or don’t. Recognizing this humanness unlocks a true appreciation for ourselves, for others, and forgiveness for the two.
Notable Excerpt: “We talk about how people should be more open-minded and listen to each other, and I’m curious what about ourselves, what about our own beliefs? Why do we immediately believe that we’re not worth it, why do we immediately believe we’re not good enough? When I can see me, I see you: so until I can fully see me, I can’t see the gift and the beauty in you, I can’t see the struggle, the humanness in you. As soon as I realized I was this small and fragile human, then I was able to give you the same gift.”
