Healing Low Self-Esteem |
Question: How does one heal the inner feelings of worthlessness and low self-esteem?
Gary: This is the core issue of the human experience. Low self-esteem
or lack of self-worth is not merely a psychological or sociological problem. It is
the circumstance with which all humans struggle. The question is not whether all
humans have it, but how they respond. Most people reach outward to rearrange their
circumstances—by getting a bigger house, new clothing, a new partner, a new job
or any of the other many, many things that individuals do to make themselves feel
more important, lovable and safe. This is the pursuit of external power—the
ability to manipulate and control.
The spiritual path requires that you look
inward to find the deepest roots of this painful experience and heal it. That is the
pursuit of authentic power. The pursuit of authentic power is now the evolutionary
path of the human species. The pursuit of external power now produces only destruction
and violence. The creation of authentic power requires emotional awareness and
responsible choice. Your soul wants harmony, cooperation and reverence for life.
When you become an individual who hungers for these things, and strives naturally
to create them wherever possible, I assure you that thoughts of inadequacy and lack
of self-worth will be replaced by joy, gratitude and the experience of a meaningful,
fulfilling life. This is the experience of authentic power. Authentic power is the
only cure for lack of self-worth.
