Self Talk

If we think of our Hearts as a garden, as an organic plot that needs tending, we start to get an image of the delicate balance in our lives of our Humanness & our Divinity. If we are piling manure on top of the flowers instead of placing it properly at the roots, we ruin the fragrance. In the west, our concept of value is largely equated with material wealth, success, fame, etc. We may look around and feel that we earn only a modest paycheck, our dreams have not come true and even our postman can't remember our name. It may seem like we are a failure, that we have somehow lost the game. However, once we recognize that our value was never something we had to earn or prove, the whole thing shifts. In this clip, Premasudha tells the story of her two uncles as a cautionary tale of the importance of how we speak to ourselves.
