I SUCK!and so do you!

I’m lying.

I don’t believe a word I’m saying.

Especially about the Klout score.

where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, andall the children are above average

THE ONLY THING I’M BETTER AT THAN YOUis telling myself I suck.

YOU’RE WRONG.

YOU LIKE ME, RIGHT?

I’M SMARTER THAN YOU.

PLEASE VALIDATE ME.

NO WIN SITUATION

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare

our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO THINK YOU’RE GOOD ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF.

DEFENSIVE PROJECTING

YOU CAN’T FEEL COMPASSION IF YOU’RE DEFENSIVE.

EVERYTHING WE DO IS CHANGE MANAGEMENT.

— Douglas Coupland

Twenty-first-century life is karaoke —a never-ending attempt to maintain

dignity while a jumble of data uncontrollably blips across a screen.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT = COMPASSION

INTERNAL VALIDATION

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

— Marianne Willamson
