This is a wonderful read. Thanks for sharing a heartfelt reflection on the struggle of building something new. I have had similar experiences with family so it is a good reminder to take a breath, sit into gratitude, and not let social media distort my perceptions!

I love the idea of goals to express value… it’s motivating me to stop procrastinating on a personal creative project. I became discouraged… My lack was an external one and it was internalized. But now that the external source is gone, I’m grateful for small moments of mindfulness that let me feel like I am enough again. Reading articles like this is one way I return to center. I’m also going to read The Dhammapada and The Bhagavad Gita.

Thank you!
