"As a Master of Self, the way out is to remind yourself that you are perfect in this moment and you don't need to do or achieve anything in order to be complete. It's absolutely fine to want to accomplish things, to see what your strengths are and see what you are able to do; but your priority is to love yourself unconditionally throughout the process of working toward any goal you have set for yourself. There is no place to go, nothing to do or achieve, because any seeking of perfection outside of yourself is actually a movement away from perfection."
Did you know that the original title for The Big Book was going to be "The Way Out?" It made me laugh to see that phrase in a Toltec book. The way out of alcoholism, of guilt and longing and self-flagellation. The way out!
"Any change you want to make or goal you want to achieve is undertaken because you really want to do it, not because of a feeling of inadequacy or not being enough."
