Three Problems
- The narrative our culture often leads us to believe is that our worth is tied to a number such as our income, our weight, or our age.
- We tend to view others with greater compassion than we view ourselves.
- A self-image that is driven by production, achievement, and success will often lead to feelings of guilt and shame.
Three Principles
- The most important thing about us is what comes into our minds when we think about ourselves.
- Every human being is significant, special, strong, secure, and spiritual.
- There is something incredibly sacred about being human.
Three Practices
- Give yourself grace when it becomes clear that you will not be able to meet every goal you hoped to achieve in this season.
- When you are feeling worthless, repeat to yourself the simple phrase, “I am enough.”
- Reorient your heart around the reality that you are a someone, not a something.
