The Group Email

One night, my wife noticed how frustrated I was after I’d sent a group email with a mistake in it.

“Why are you frustrated?” she asked.

“I’m so stupid for making that mistake!”

“Why does it bother you so much?”

“I guess it doesn’t look professional.”

“What worries you about not looking professional?”

“I think, deep down, I’m afraid of being seen as not good enough.”

“So your fear is not being good enough,” she said, “which leads to the fear of not being loved.”

“I think so...”

“You should know that your existence is already a miracle. Even if you don’t achieve anything, you’re still loved. There’s already an abundance of love within you.”

I nodded.

“Your energy follows your attention,” she said. “When you focus on fear, it pulls you into a scarcity mindset and drains your energy.”
