Never Good Enough


Listen Later

Is there possibly another way that we can help people grow into the best of themselves without being so aggressive about it? 

That we can nurture them and guide them and help them unfold their own beauty and their own strengths that they don't know that are there, because they've been told that they're not good enough, they're not fast enough, smart enough, making enough money, man enough, woman enough, Mom enough, insert whatever you want in here.

And it's never good enough. You finished grade school, now there's high school, you finish high school, what are you going to do? University or college or right. And what's next, and what's next. what's next, what's next. It's maddening. It is maddening.

Next, and next, and next and it's never good enough. When you get to that top of the mountain there's another mountain, and another mountain.

In that world you're never going to be good enough.

Ever.

So stop playing in that world.

In the sense of playing by their games in your mind.

You are good enough.

You're Buddha.

The story that you've been told is, “Go get it all for yourself. Build up a life for yourself. Put up walls. Get everything you can get. Make something of yourself."

What do you mean?

I'm vast open spaciousness, beauty without bounds, love that just seeks love for its own love and its own play and creative display.
