Are We Looking At Self-Help Wrong? #shorts

You talk about the problem with the self-help movement and the sort of idea of self-improvement. And you kind of suggest that it might not be the best way to.

Look at how we.

Deal with ourselves in life.

Self-help starts from the perspective that there's something wrong with you and we should fix it. And the mind that created the problem is going to be the mind that solves the problem. And that can get us only so far because it begins with a kind of self-aggression. Stop, fix, be different. Sometimes very appropriately. Both Buddhism and the Enneagram start from the polar opposite perspective, which is there is nothing wrong with you. You're just looking at it incorrectly. Of course, we all things we need to fix about ourselves on the conventional plane. But in the wisdom world, there's a kind of innate perfection that you're born with. It doesn't mean you're perfect. It's an innate perfection. It doesn't mean you don't have faults, obviously. But it means you're starting from a place of wholeness. And whatever you think is broken about you is the symptom of your confusion. About your worthiness.
