”Why I Am Not Good Enough”

Welcome to the Backyard Buddhist Podcast where we continually seek everyday enlightenment for the benefit of ourselves and all other beings.  I am Ronn Pawo McLane

One of my teachers reminded me that the pure light of awareness sanctifies everything.  What it means to me is that when I shine the spotlight of awareness on what is causing my suffering, discomfort, and dissatisfaction then I can truly see the condition, the cause, and the cure simultaneously.  The part of that which is the most difficult is remembering to flip on the switch of attentive awareness to illuminate those dark corners.   I also know that it is through difficulty that we have our most important understanding. 

All there is to do is be present awake and aware in this moment because it is the only moment that matters.  Hindsight is a powerful tool, but we have to be careful not to live our lives in the rearview mirror. In this moment I am enough, you are enough, we are all enough.  We are not damaged, not a failure and are all worthy of unconditional love.   Begin by cultivating unconditional love for yourself. Begin at home, on the spot, right now.
