Sometimes we put ourselves down, not because of any outside force, but because:
- Either we believe it ourselves, or
- We believe someone else may be thinking it.
Either way, that belief of defining yourself negatively is not serving you, nor is it serving anyone else around you.
I got stuck recently on feeling stupid.
But, I got unSTUCK when I honestly investigated that belief.
I’m not stupid.
Did I make a mistake? Yes.
But, I’m not stupid.
Where in your life can you consider either:
- You are not the negative trait you say you are, or
- You don’t have to be impacted with what you believe others may be thinking about you.
My friend, YOU have a story to inspire the world, do you realize that?

I enjoyed this episode very much, because making mistakes is a common reality in day to day life, for me too!. What is grand about your process, is that you did not dwell on it, but dealt with the mistake in a very mature manner. Thank you for sharing such a personal example, allowing us to relate to your situation, and seeing how you applied the principals so skillfully.
Thank you so much, Chana, for your response. I am so glad this episode resonated with you and I do hope this episode (and all the others) continue to inspire you to apply the principles to your life as well, in order to live a life of joy and happiness for your sake and for the sake of everyone else in your life. Please stay in touch! Love, Shira
