Another major reason we feel inadequate is the 3,000 ads per day we are exposed to. Most have a primary message of "you're not good enough as you are, you NEED this product or service to be more likable, more healthy, more popular, slimmer, more complete, etc." We hear this message about 1 million times/year. If we don't exercise daily mental self-defense (like meditation, metaphysical treatment, subconscious re-programming), we fall prey to it. The first major step, as always, is awareness. thanks for adding to that awareness! Wonderful article! Another major reason we feel inadequate is the 3,000 ads per day we are exposed to.

The person I am at 4AM when I'm alone and all the world is sleeping....that's who I am. "But you’re probably not who you really are all the time." This is my goal. To arrange my life in every way so that I can be who I really am all the time. For the person who said they don’t know who they are – Spend time alone.
