This month is all about judgment, and, unfortunately, many people in this world judge themselves the most.
Quite often, a big ego is really a cover for lack of self-confidence. We build a shell of ego so that others will think we are great. But we go to sleep alone at night knowing what we are really like. Unfortunately, the biggest problem humanity faces isn’t the value of the dollar or the yen; it’s the value of the self.
If we don’t think we are someone special, if we are too tough on ourselves, how can we ever expect to accomplish that which we were born to do? If we don’t realize how capable we are, how can we ever expect to make a difference in the world?
Without knowing our true value, life is going to be full of chaos. Why? Because we are creating a self-fulfilling, self-limiting prophecy.
It’s almost like it’s a plague, a lack-of-belief plague, a lack of belief in ourselves and what we can accomplish, whether it’s spiritually or physically. Fear of success and fear of failure are basically the same.
A lot of people see their mountain of garbage — imperfections, blockages, and challenges — and when they can’t see the peak of the mountain, they say I’m hopeless. We all have garbage. We wouldn’t be on this planet if there wasn’t something to clean up. The only way to climb the mountain is to have certainty that it can be scaled, even at times when we aren't 100% sure if we have what it takes.
If we get onto the basketball court and don’t think we can beat the other team, we are not going to win. We must have certainty that we can defeat the Opponent, or we will go through generations upon generations of chaos.

We are not in this to come short. We are in this to have a critical mass of Light and actually overcome all darkness.
We can overcome our mountain of ego, not just in the spiritual sense but in the physical sense as well — in everything we do. But we can’t do it by camping at the foot of the mountain, hiding in its shade, and not realizing that we’ve been given everything we need to make the trek.
This month, the biggest thing we can do is have certainty that anything can be done, and this week, I challenge you to look at the mountain like it’s a molehill. Know that before coming to this world, we actually chose the specific garbage we’re dealing with in this life, not to be held prisoner by it, but to overcome it. Because we CAN.
