You know that Kenny Rogers song?

The song that says, “She believes in me, but I don’t know what she sees in me.”

Really funny lyrics if you think about it.

If somebody believes in you but you don’t know what she sees in you, it really says that you’re pretty much insecure about who you are and what your all about.

Get it? Good. Alright, I knew you’d figure that out, I knew that would resonate with you.

So, she believes in you, but you don’t believe in yourself. So she’s there to actually believe in you so you hopefully can get better and actually believe in yourself.

There’s a lot of insecurity in that. But there’s also a lot of truth in that, that’s actually kind of cool and I want to go into that deep right now.

Because I truly believe that we need somebody to believe in us.

It’s a really beautiful thing to have somebody believe in us.

In healthy adults, it all started with childhood. You had a mom or a dad that totally believed in you.

They believe in who you were as a person, as a little being as a little soul. They believed in you.

You come home from school and they tell you, your pretty amazing.

They come home from school and they tell you that you were loved. They believed in you. They believed in you in so many ways, unlike anybody else.

They believed in who you are as a person.

They built your confidence up day by day. Minute by minute.

It was actually quite beautiful if you think about it. A lot of us didn’t have utopian childhoods.

Most of us had to believe in ourselves at times. Most of us had to, well, work on our own stuff. And we had to learn our own themes and we had to become our own people and we had to become our own beings and all this other stuff. We had to learn how to believe in ourselves.

Which is okay.

Because there’s so much self-help stuff that’s available out there that helps us believe in ourselves.

But, in reality, what we’re all looking for — even after we believe in ourselves, even if we don’t fully believe in ourselves 75%, 80% — we’re just looking for somebody else that believes in us, because life is so much better when somebody has our back. And somebody believes in us. Somebody sees how amazing we really are.

Because all the self help work that we’ve done, all this growing we’ve done, all the books we’ve , all the seminars we’ve done, it’s all fine and dandy, and it’s great to be able to connect to our source, connect to God, connect to the universe, connect to ourselves. But in reality, we want somebody, as Kenny Rogers says, to believe in us. Because this journey of life is far greater when it is shared. That’s why we’re doing all this work, because somebody believes in us. Such a beautiful thing.

Thanks Kenny Rogers for the inspiration today on the radio.
