I heard a man say once that the story of our times is one of rampant self-hatred.
I think it's often true. In the affluent West in particular, we tend to be self-critical to the point of severe damage to our corporate psyche.
Is there really a worse tragedy?
We are all created with such a specific set of capacities and so many gifts for each other. But we cannot expect to love the world if we can't stomach ourselves.
By hating ourselves, we rob the world of our capacity for connection and self-gift.
Certainly strive to be the best person you can possibly be, but choose fundamentally to accept yourself today.
We need you.
