It sounds like "who do I think I am?" when you dream about a relationship where someone truly loves you, when you consider financial freedom, when you think about that creative project your friends think is crazy.Lewis gets raw about the inner critic we've all trained. The voice that says you're not smart enough, not talented enough, that you're a failure. He breaks down why we turn failures into identity instead of feedback, why we learned to overwork and overachieve just to feel validated, and why we self-sabotage right before things go well. The shift isn't about ego or thinking you're better than anyone. It's simpler and more profound: worthiness is believing you don't have to punish yourself to deserve a good life. You failed at walking as a baby a thousand times and never called yourself a failure. That same truth applies now. Stop blocking what's trying to reach you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
