Jay Parini: We block so much goodness in our life because we don't feel like we're enough. He says he was rejected by 40 companies after leaving the monastery 10 years ago. Parini's new book, The Power of Now, is published by Simon & Schuster at $24.99.
In the journey of self-discovery, we often find ourselves grappling with the nagging question: "Am I enough?"
Life's struggles can weigh heavily on our hearts, especially when we feel inadequate.
But fear not, today we will look deep into building self-esteem and self-confidence.
In the face of doubt and self-limiting beliefs, we shall uncover four distinct types of self-worth that shape our perception of ourselves. Everything we have achieved may seem meaningless at times, however, through this pivotal moment of awakening, we shall uncover the true essence of our purpose and redefine our paths with newfound meaning.
As we navigate life, we will encounter moments of hesitation and indecision, fearing the uncertainty of future steps. Together, we shall cultivate the courage to take that vital first step towards growth and fulfillment.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- The type of mindset we should avoid
- The reason why our confidence is low
- How to improve your self-worth and self-esteem
- How to get out of the the struggles that limit you
Let's join hands as we take steps towards stepping forth into the world with renewed purpose and self-assurance.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
