If we look closely we notice our self-hatred began at a young age. Think of the times we were told we weren’t tall enough, fast enough, slim enough, not good looking enough. We may have been told we were too fat, maybe we stuttered. All the while, we felt our value diminish with each new label being attached to us by those who claimed to love us unconditionally.

We often think that by turning within to seek the guidance of our intuition, our lives will be out of our control. Yet nothing is further from the truth. Consider intuition as the voice of our true self, uncovered beneath the layers of persona we created to protect ourselves from the fallout of choosing freewill over knowing our authentic self.

Once we learn to silence the noise, we may begin to hear the words of our inner voice. This voice originates in our heart and only speaks words of love, kindness, and compassion. All the other voices have been created by our ego which is always willing to tell us we are not good enough, or how we will never measure up.
