There are two ways
Since childhood, a quiet lie has followed us: you are not enough. Parents, teachers, coaches, even loved ones, often unconsciously, pointed more to our inadequacies than to our gifts. “You can’t.” “It’s too hard.” “It won’t work.” Repeated long enough, these words became our own voice. And so many grew up carrying the weight of unworthiness.
What happens then? Most turn outward. More than three quarters of humanity chooses this path. They chase degrees, titles, beauty, wealth, polishing the mask, feeding the ego, hoping it will silence the whisper of inadequacy. They run an endless race to prove they are somebody.
And some go further, building an identity of superiority, smarter, prettier, richer, stronger. Yet beneath the trophies and masks, the wound remains. Life becomes a battle against an illusion planted long ago.
But there is another way. A quieter, rarer way. The path inward.
Those who walk it stop running. They refuse to be defined by ego, comparison, or society’s early programming. They dare to become nothing, to let go of every mask. And in that emptying, they discover everything.
To become nothing is not loss, it is liberation. In the silence of no-image, no-role, no-mask, the soul remembers its brilliance. Here they see their own light, and in seeing it, they finally recognize the light in all beings. They learn to love themselves, not as an achievement, but as their nature.
The world says: prove yourself. The soul whispers: know yourself.
And when you finally listen, you realize: You are not what you achieve. You are not what they told you. You are light. You are love. You are already whole.
