John focuses on your self-esteem. Throughout our lives we are under the scrutiny of others. Being involved with someone brings up the many ways of sharing your innermost thoughts which are judged and sometimes manipulated. These efforts which detract from us can undermine our self esteem. Knowing yourself and having the confidence to be present to that knowledge helps you during times of vulnerability. The irony of life shows that vulnerability is key to having fulfilling relationships. Navigating the pathway of vulnerability and self esteem is a delicate dance and who you include in life can affect the outcome, even if it's momentary. Just the way you are reinforces the idea of being aware of you and being less bothered by detractors and their negativity. Own your power to be satisfied with yourself.
