Saying that you're not enough.

Wow.

Like, why would that be?

Right.

Why would I say that to myself?

You start becoming interested in that and then that's your route to change.

And I would argue it makes sense that you could not have gotten yourself better through any other route.

How could it have been through any route other than understanding yourself?

Then you start realizing, oh, I'm inclined, even though I'm doing all these things and I've done these things in life to feel good about myself, I feel like I'm not enough.

Wow, where did that come into me?

Do I want to tell that story to myself?

I write in the book, there's two different descriptions of my own life.

And they're both true.

They're both based in fact.

One is very negative and the other is quite positive, which the truth is whichever one I choose.

The same was true of you.

You could decide that you're not enough by telling yourself you're not.

Now you've made that declaration, but is that really fair?

Is that really what you want to choose, right?

It becomes a choice.
