1105. A 20-Year Journey Working Against the Critical Voice in Her Mind

“It took many, many years–my twenties, my thirties and even some of my forties–where I had all of these goals and dreams that I wanted to accomplish. And I accomplished most of them. And still, no matter how many accomplishments I had and how many successes I had in my life, there was this underlying feeling that I just wasn’t good enough. That’s exactly what my work is based on because I think that is a cultural phenomenon. I think we live in a culture that breeds people to feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied. It breeds people to look at what we want and where we want to get to instead of looking at who we already are, what we’ve already created, and the magnificent lives we are already living.”
