disapproval truly make to who you are? All such unexamined assumptions

Be alert. Are some of the thoughts that go through your mind the
internalized voice of your father or mother, saying perhaps something like,
“You are not good enough. You will never amount to anything,” or some
other judgment or mental position? If there is awareness in you, you will be
able to recognize that voice in your head for what it is: an old thought,
conditioned by the past
