“All suffering — including depression, insecurity, anxiety, and physical disease — is a result of us never learning how to love, value, and be true to ourselves on a daily basis. Our struggles and negative thinking are caused by us rejecting our true self, making our feelings wrong, and constantly trying to please others in exchange for love, acceptance, attention, approval, and security. This daily self-destruction, which is passed down from generation to generation, breaks our heart, creates toxic stress, weakens our immune system, and leads us into unhealthy personal and professional situations. We each can overcome the hurt, anger, fear, and guilt within us by learning how to care for our body, heart, and mind now. Understanding how to be accepting, honest, and kind with ourselves is the most direct path to feeling well, fulfilling our purpose, enjoying our lives, and loving fully before we die. It's up to each of us to break the cycle of self-harm and suffering for ourselves and future generations.”
