I thought you were going to.
But no, no, no.
You can choose any book that you, any, any other book.
Okay.
Permission to Feel by Mark Brackett.
It was life-changing for me.
I had gone through this.
My book hit the New York Times bestseller list and my friends and family, they were all excited and I just did not care.
And I realized that there was something wrong with me where I wasn't able to feel moments accurately.
And that book really helped me a lot.
Wow.
Thank you, my love.
This is heaven.
Thank you.
So I've spent almost as much time feeling like I was powerless than I have flowing in this level of power.
Yeah. And I will say that part of the reason why so many of us end up feeling powerless is because we have not fully sized up our opponent.
so if you have fear if you have shame if you have doubt and you have worry we say these words so casually and so frequently that they have become normalized the only problem with normalizing our insecurities our fears the abandonment the rejection issues is that they don't really have the same level of power that they need to have in order for us to overcome it and by that i mean
Fear is powerful. Shame is powerful. Our doubt is powerful. It's powerful enough to keep you stuck in relationships. It's powerful enough to keep you alone, to keep you from pursuing your purpose and a business deal, whatever. It's got power too. And if you're going to have power, you got to have the right target.
And instead of trying to target something that's going to make you feel better about those things, we have to face off with the fear. We have to face off with the doubt and with the shame. We've got to look that thing in the eye and say, at the end of the day, I no longer want to be controlled by you any longer. You've had my name for far too long. You've dictated my destiny for far too long.
I want to be better now. than who fear says I am. I wanna be better than what shame says that I am. And in order to direct our power in the right direction, we gotta know who our opponent is. And so I would say to anyone who believes that I don't have what it takes or I don't have enough worth, that as long as you believe that, it is true.
