Why do we fail to recognize our inner divine value, and why do we allow the opinions of others to divert us from our inner PEACE and SELF-CONFIDENCE?
Every human being is unique and special — our very existence is a MIRACLE. Each of us is an expression of a higher power: the universe, the Source, or God. Therefore, the truth is that we are ALWAYS good enough, because our inner essence — our true self — is perfect. The challenge lies in believing this, and not allowing social norms or the opinions of others to obscure this inner knowing.
We tend to hear negative opinions more easily because our earthly, “ego-based” parts — the mind and emotions — are still focused on the external world. The ego operates from fear and the sense of separation, and therefore it tends to experience criticism or negative feedback as reality. When someone speaks poorly of us, the ego perceives it as a threat, because it constantly seeks acceptance, belonging, and love. In this way, negative words reinforce the illusion that we are somehow not good enough.
Our path is about letting go of the ego’s limitations and recognizing our TRUE NATURE — which is INFINITE, TIMELESS, and made of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. As we increasingly connect to this inner truth, we realize that no external opinion can influence our real worth.
Faith in ourselves is a form of REMEMBERING — remembering who we truly ARE. When someone expresses negativity toward us, it becomes an opportunity to ignore the whisper of the ego and to deepen our connection with our inner peace. Through conscious growth, we gradually learn to view others’ opinions with compassion, understanding that their negativity also arises from their own fears and limitations.
The key is trust in ourselves and the discovery of inner stillness. When we know that we are LOVED and VALUABLE parts of the universe, every criticism becomes only a distant echo that cannot touch our true essence.
