In Your Heart of Hearts

The expression in your heart of hearts is meant to reveal what it is deep down inside that you truly believe, desire or think. One thought that we all have deep down inside is the thought of unworthiness.

What do I mean by unworthiness? I mean that people have a poor self-image or low self-esteem, it really doesn’t matter what you call it. And in comes up in thoughts like ‘if they only knew the real me’ or ‘why can’t I be more like….’ and you can fill in the blank. What is the most interesting thing about this is that most of us don’t realize that everyone has these thoughts. Yeah, I know that you are sitting there thinking uhuh, not so and so, he/she thinks too much of his/her self. Oh contrare; so and so simply bluffs. And it gets even more interesting; you can be totally confident in your ability to do or have something and yet be totally lacking confidence in every or many other areas of your life. And that is why you may see so and so looking ever so poised all the time.

But you say this can not be so? Surely not for everyone! It is true for everyone that has not come to the true realization that we are all human and we are not going to be perfect all of the time or really any of the time. Think of it this way; why do you love the people that you love? Like the people that you like? Are they more special than you? You might tell yourself that they have this that or the other quality that you lack but that is just a story you made up. We all have the capacity & capability to generate what we choose to generate. And anyone you envy; are they better than you? No. More talented? No. And yet, some of you are sitting there thinking that you must be something other than who you are to be worthy. True self worth comes from within and never from anywhere else. If you have any thoughts of inadequacy than decide today to let that go. Embrace the fact that you are the only you on the planet and you are the best you there is. Nobody can be you better than you can. Remember what Shakespeare said; ‘To thine own self be true.’ Which is better; imitation vanilla or real vanilla? When you are authentically you the life you lead will be one you can be confident in, knowing that we all are the same deep down inside.
